Good evening Ninian

I spoke with you yesterday evening about the extension tube and placed the order. The tube arrived today and solved my problem. You fixed the problem with my sticking dew cap.

I can think of many businesses that fall way short of your standards of customer care.

Rest sssured, I shall never look anywhere else for anything I want for my telescope.

Thanks Ken Lindup

I used the telescope last night to view Saturn and I must say that I am very impressed.

It was absolutely pin-sharp with the Cassini division perfectly clear even at 160x.

Much better than my old refractor and a very pleasant surprise.

To summarise, you have one very satisfied customer.
Regards Phil Dalziel
