Here Is What They Are Saying

"Just wanted to send a note through to say how much I enjoyed Telescopes 101 (please tell Sam!!). Monday evening is now so boring! More soon, please. Finally got around to reading the September newsletter and saw a refractor telescope advertised. I read the ad, and thought - but what about this? and this? I had lots more questions for the seller. But before Telescopes 101, I would have thought  - it’s a telescope, umm…  So a great big thanks to Sam for a super course, and to you. It’s been great. (And now I am looking longingly on Amazon at a Celestron CPC 800… So I may have caught the bug.)"
