The website has javascript (in http://www.celestron.com/code/general.js) which
looks like this:
MyWin = window.open(url,wname,[snip details]);
if (MyWin == null) window.close();
So, if it can't open a popup, it shuts the window. Lovely. Either:
a) it's a crude way of making you accept the popup, or
b) they goofed.
If it's (a), then we're unlikely to make them fix it, but if it's (b), we stand
a chance.

Reporter has contacted them, their response as follows:
-------------start
Dear Mr. Buccino:
I am very sorry for the inconvenience. I am glad that you brought this to our
attention. We will modify the script to remove the part of the code that kills
the window if null. In addition, we will be moving away from using popup windows
in the future. I agree with you that they are annoying!
-------------end
To cap it all, they've ALREADY changed the page. Looks like option (b) was the
case, and Ten out of Ten for quick turnaround on their part...
