"I think you've done a good job on the DVD.  It went at the right pace and explained why you were doing various things.  All I had to do was refer to the scope's manual for where the various locks and dials etc are. One of the main problems with people who are new to astronomy, and some more experienced people, is how to use an equatorial scope, and the DVD sorts this out."

Many Thanks. David Cooke

"The DVD "Beginners Guide to Equatorial Mounted Telescopes" was a revelation. It explains clearly, step by step, how to assemble & align your tripod, mount, & telescope. In the words of the advert, "It does exactly what it says on the tin!" I think every new astronomer should try it. Before watching it I was convinced I needed a telescope with auto align."

Regards, Mike Barker.

"Hi Ian I have found your dvd, excellent quality and very informative. The video imagery is very detailed and has explained a lot of my mistakes, especially when I set up the polar finder scope. I think this is a very good dvd, no matter what experience you have in astronomy there is plenty of information on the dvd."

Thanks. Glynn Simpson.
