"Just a few words to let you know that I am very happy with the PI 400C, 16" Classical Cassegrain that I purchased from your company. The views that were obtained of Mars, when the atmosphere cooperated were simply out of this world, so to speak. A magnification of 600X was used with no sign of image breakdown. I'm sure the scope could have coped with more magnification. The 3 cooling fans are a great aid. Using a magnification of 250X the star Antares was cleanly split with jet black sky separating the companion from the primary. Thanks again for a great scope."

"Everything came together last night. All the bugs have been worked out with the dome. We had an incredible moonless night. Your scope is outstanding! Yes, I know it was designed for planetary work but I love globular clusters and planetary and emission nebulas. The view of M13 was astonishing. The views seemed as bright as with my old scope, only the stars in the center were easily resolved as separate points of light. The Ring, Dumbell, and Lagoon nebulas were all as visually striking as I have ever experienced. Thank you for catering to those of us who love fine optics and quality machined German equatorial mounts."
