Thanks to your website at last I have found a balanced and clear approach towards telescopes and astronomy fundamentals, in particular for beginners, an aspect not easy to find in most of the forum about this hobby. I followed your advice and I bought my first telescope, an EvoStar 90 on Eq2: an excellent choice, with a good value for money. Wonderful views of the night sky. Thank you!

Hi Super Cooper,
First and foremost, I'd like to say I am SO GLAD I stumbled upon your website! I had been researching what telescope to choose when I was directed to yours, and after weeks of reading through so many websites, YOURS was the most informative, easy to digest, and incredibly helpful. Truly.

Thank you for all the personal help you provided. And so quick too. The telescope I had chosen was rubbish and I thought I had wasted all my money. Your help in sorting out a few projects for me to do while I waited for a better telescope was invaluable and I thank you again for that.  The telescope supplier you put me in touch with was super and I am now able to tell you that the telescope I bought off Ed Harrison , with your advice , is brilliant. I can see that even though it is twenty millimeters smaller than the terrible Seben I bought in error it gives more detailed images and brighter , better detail views of the planets , especially Jupiter.  Forever in your debt , I will share this invaluable website with all my astronomy friends world-wide.

Thanks ,

 

Steve S

I spent countless hours reading your article choosing-telescopes-complete-essentials, two years ago, to understand every bit of it. It was you who tought me the basics of telescopes and your article was a great introduction to what became a great hobby for me later.

I was looking for some comparisons between a 120mm f/5 Refractor and a 130mm f/5 Reflector and I stumbled upon your guide and wow!  What an amazing read.  It was very detailed and had very good comparisons and examples, I think everyone, beginner, intermediate and even pros should check it out!

Your information is perfect for a beginner like me, with plenty of useful information, and excellent pictures as examples for what is explained. In just a few hours, I went from feeling totally lost to very informed by taking in all the information you provided. Your article should be linked to from every supplier everywhere!

Until I stumbled upon your site I was feeling increasingly confused about which scope to look for.  Many advice sites and reviews nearly always ended up being "Sponsored sites" with no real advice at all, unless it was how to part with large amounts of cash for not a lot of decent equipment. 

...

Armed with this new found info, I think I will soon be the owner of a scope that is actually worth having.

Extremely clear, concise and full of the right information one needs when considering purchasing a scope.  I can't begin to tell you how many times I've referred to your information.  Again, thank you,
