Green Witch

Telescopes & Binoculars for Astronomers and Birdwatchers

Green Witch was born at midnight on Hallowe'en 1998 and rapidly grew to become one of the country's leading suppliers of top quality telescopes, binoculars and accessories. Our professional background gained at the Royal Greenwich Observatory and friendly, approachable manner have been key factors in Green Witch's success and we remain committed to providing our customers with the best service possible.

We offer a consultancy service for anyone wishing to set up an observatory or a large telescope. Current and recent projects include a school's observatory in Dubai, a lunar observatory in Saudi Arabia and school and university observatories in the United Kingdom.
The work is undertaken by Neil Parker who was the Technical Director of the Royal Greenwich Observatory and by Dr Lee Sproats, a professional astrophysicist. Full details and CVs are available on request.

We also offer help and advice to schools wishing to incorporate astronomy into their curriculum or to establish an astronomy club

The founder of Green Witch was responsible for starting the Royal Greenwich Observatory's Hands-On Universe project which seeks to bring the excitement of research astronomy into the classroom. Phase 1 of Hands-On Universe was a Starter Pack aimed at Key Stage 2 which was well-received by primary schools. Phase 2 developed into an interactive Astronomy CD-ROM produced by Anglia Multimedia.

We believe sincerely in the idea that astronomy is an attractive subject which can stimulate young people to take a closer interest in science and the world around them, which is why Green Witch is offering to help teachers find the resources they need to teach astronomy with confidence.
