    Just a note to let you know how pleased I am with all the JAWA telescopes I have purchased. I have been an amateur astronomer for over 40 years and have never came across such quality instruments at the price for which they sell!!!
    The discontinued 3" reflector for $99 was an unbelievable bargain. I did have to drill an extra hole in the tube to reposition the mount to a better balancing point and had to request an extra counterweight to balance the tube assembly, but once the mechanics were out of the way, the little small scope performed wonderfully. I also removed the adaptor sleeve and used standard 1-1/4" eyepieces for MUCH improved performance.
    Because of the quality of the 3" scope, I decided to try out your long tube 4-1/4" reflector. I was completely unprepared for the instrument that was delivered. The mirror, mount, tripod, Kellner eyepieces....I have rarely seen such a quality instrument as such a low price (AND at your promotional price of $199 it is easily the best dollar for dollar deal I have ever encountered.) It reminds me of the old "Dynascope" I had as a kid!! I have not had a chance to take it out into the Everglades yet for a dark sky and I have only used it in a pretty light polluted area in my patio (about 3 miles west of Biscayne Bay), but was shocked at the detail present.
    The some of the smallest stars in the Perseus Double Cluster were easily seen and the color of the brighest stars distinctly visible. Orion Nebula very striking, (red tinges will probably be visible outside the city lights)....performance on planets and the moon outstanding, lunar rills, detail with craters, all sharp and bright!!
    I also purchased your 60 mm refractor for my 11 year old twin girl cousins and found it superior in EVERY respect to any other, including the comparable model sold by Orion. The Orion refractor, which I ordered for some neighborhood kids, came with very substandard eyepieces, the rack and pinion mechanism decidedly inferior (the "rack" tube did not even fit inside the "pinion" tube; it did have a nice blue tube, thought!?!?! [big deal]) But the optical quality was the biggest surprise. I almost fainted when raised to a viewable 200X!!!! There was far less image deterioration than I ever thought I would experience through a 60mm refractor I bought for $90!!!! I also own two old red tube Coulter Odysseys (a 8" and a 13"), one of those >6" refractors and a TAL-120. All of whom I love, but no less than my JAWAs and I am eyeing that 8" reflector of yours.....maybe in a year or so???? (Please let me know if you ever have a sale or a scratch and dent model ofthis baby!!!)

    Very truly yours,

    I received my 10 X 42 binoculars and am very happy with the quality. I was skeptical of the quality because of the low cost in comparison to wholesale brand name products. I will certainly refer others.
    Thanks again,

      Thank you very much. I look forward to getting everything setup and viewing the sky with my daughters for many years.
      By the way. I have been very happy with the purchase and how easy your company made the transaction via the Internet. I have already recommended your site to a couple of friends who are also interested in telescopes. Your quick response to my small problem serves as reassurance of your company's dedication to its customers.
      Thanks again and have a wonderful holiday,

      Comments: There was an error in the shiping process but they emailed me to make sure that it was still okay to ship the product with the new cost. The service was friendly and the product was delivered on time. The reflector telescope I ordered came out great and was well worth it. Great product, good service, I will order from them again.

      Opticmall, Jack,
      Just wanted to say how pleased my grandson and I are with the telescope. It was worth the wait compared to anything I could get local because of the exceptional quality and value for a beginners telescope. I will surely
      suggest your website to our family, friends and co-workers.
