"It was good meeting the maker of my new 16" truss at the Chiefland 2002 star party. I was a little concered at first because Jim looked much younger than I imagined. I knew the "other" makers were older and had been in the business longer..." MORE...

"My 16" F/4.5 scope arrived today (Friday). I assembled it without any problems and even had a 1/2 hour first light session before the fog rolled in. I was most impressed by the fit, finish, and attention to detail. The mirror cell was especially impressive. The constuction quality of the Nightsky scope equals or exceeds that of the 12.5" Starmaster I used to own, an excellent reflector in its own right. You can rightfully take great pride in your product."

"I researched dobsonians for nearly 18 months - looking at Starmasters, Obsessions, and others. Luckily, I found Nightsky Scopes during my research. Jim Nadeau was extremely patient and helpful as I asked countless questions. Finally, I placed my order for a 14.5" f/4.3 scope with Pegasus optics. I requested that he make spoke-style altitude bearings for me, and Jim came through with results that far exceded my expectations." MORE...

"I now have had time to look at the telescope and hook up the electric components. I am very satisfied with the scope. The scope is well thought out on your part and put together in a good manner." MORE...

"It is difficult to tell you how proud I am of my scope. I sure get lots of compliments on the scope and the movement. The local club has a small observatory with a 16" on an equatorial mount. The images in my scope puts it in the shade very quickly."MORE...

"It's a nice scope. The performance and appearance exceeded what I was expecting and I am happy to be its owner".

"The motions are very smooth and it tracks easily up to 200X. I also like the fact that the Telrad, shroud, and wheelbarrow handles are included."

"Just a quick note to report that my first observing session was spectacular, even from (light polluted) Metairie. After transporting it home and re-assembly in my back yard, the scope retained the initial collimation you did".

"I even think the scope is a nice touch to the decor of our front room, where I set it overnight. But, from my wife's frown, it seems she just isn't into this astronomy thing like I am. Anyway, Nice job! I am very pleased!"

"I'm quite pleased with the scope, It's everything I hoped it would be, and I consider it quite a bargain for the price. I can't imagine how I could have been any more pleased with a more expensive Starmaster or Obsession." MORE...

"Got my scope and really happy with it. Truly a masterpiece of ingenuity and craftsmanship. Now how do I balance the time between wife and scope? Thanks a bunch!"

"My 16.25" F4.5 mirror was nearing completion and a structure for that mirror would soon be needed. Making a mirror this large was so laborious that I didn't look forward to having to also build a structure." " MORE...

"I am extremely satisfied with your design.

My friends haven't seen my scope yet. I'm sure they'll love it. I mean, they loved the Obsession and this design beats the Obsession in terms of smoothness, mirror support (I hate the sling), and truss tube stability." MORE...
