Amazon Prime Day is over but that doesn't mean all the deals have stopped. There are still plenty of anti-Prime Day deals around but they could end any moment so these really are your last chances to grab a Unistellar smart telescope for $300 cheaper or a Sony A7R V with $1000 off. Now is a great time to grab some new skywatching gear because Saturn has made a grand return to the late night sky this month.

The optics we are recommending feature in our expert buying guides that cover the best telescopes, the best binoculars, the best smart telescopes and more categories. For a full round-up of all the best deals across skywatching, cameras, technology and entertainment, check out our Amazon Prime Day hub.

Read on for our hand-picked selection of the best savings on skywatching you can still get post-Prime Day. If we know when a deal will be ending, we will tell you, but there may be some deals that have already finished.
