"Attached is a photo of my telescope with your mount. It is a really well-made mount, and I can smoothly handle it with over 300x.

Thank you again for your making this good mount."

Solid mount with rings and setting circles.

"I'm quite pleased with the mount. It's nicely built, very solid, has a superb finish, and will be very easy to maintain. It's also a great size, especially as regards footprint, center of gravity, and stability. And that's just what I wanted as I plan to do lots of sidewalk astronomy with this scope."

"Thought you would like to know everything got here okay and looks great. I enclosed some pictures. The large altitude bearings work really nice."

Collapsible mount with rings and setting circles, modified by owner.

"Finally completed my scope and I am very pleased with your craftsmanship,Fit and finish are first rate.

Was able to mount the rings perfectly,also added some things to the exterior but kept in mind that I still wanted a foldable dob base so everything went into brass threaded wood inserts and thumb screws.

I made the split blocks for the stalk, everything looks great."

"I'm very happy with the mount. The motion was very smooth, yet rigid enough to keep the OTA in place. I could change to different eyepieces without the weight differintail affecting the balance. The eyepiece height is absolutely perfect. It was comfortable in every position.

Oh the Sky Commander, I'm astounded at its accuracy. I was on the front driveway. Didn't bother with any leveling, as I've always heard that it's not super critical unless you're way off. Did a 2 star aligment on Polaris and Sirius with a 12mm Nagler, and every object I went to was dead on. This is all better than I expected. Great Job."
