Tasco Luminova Telescope

Tasco is a historic American brand specializing in consumer-grade optical equipment, including telescopes, binoculars, and rifle scopes. Originally founded in the mid-20th century as a distributor of optical goods, it became a household name for beginner and amateur astronomy equipment.

Today, Tasco is a brand under the umbrella of Vista Outdoor Inc. While the brand has its roots in Florida, USA, the manufacturing of their telescopes, particularly the entry-level Luminova series, is predominantly carried out by specialized optical manufacturers in China to maintain affordability for the consumer market. The brand continues to focus on providing accessible entry points for hobbyists interested in space and nature observation.
