In collaboration between SterrenStof and Ganymedes, we made a podcast together!

Our colleague Jeroen was interviewed on various interesting topics related to astronomy during this podcast in the Podcast SterrenStof 19 – October 2022.
Especially for the beginner in the hobby, it is very fun and informative to give this podcast a listen, we even have a bonus for you (read more below)!

This is a temporary promotion in cooperation with SterrenStof.

How exactly does this work and what are the conditions?

   • There are a huge number of options of course, but we can currently recommend the Celestron StarSense Explorer series as it is wildly popular and generally well received by the public.

   • Ganymedes then provides a discount on your accessory of 10% of the full purchase price of your telescope.
     • Example: you buy or want a telescope of EUR 1,000.00 and an accessory of EUR 200.00, Ganymedes then delivers a discount of no less than EUR 100.00 on the accessory (namely 10% of the full purchase amount of the telescope).
4. We at Ganymedes will get back to you. We will provide you with a discount code which can be applied to your order. You can then place your order.
