“I just want to thank Peter Read for his commitment to building first class big dobs. Through the process of ordering & supplying my new scope Peter has gone the extra yard to make this scope the best as he possibly could. One thing that has stuck with me is that the commitment to helping didn’t finish once you have paid your money, Peter cares about his scopes even once they have left his nest.
I’m pretty much a novice so ease of use was a pleasant surprise when operating & setting up the scope, if I’m not viewing in 15mins I’ve been talking too much.
Peter has access to the worlds top mirror makers, this combined with TRUE quality workmanship make SDM’s fantastic scopes, built to last.
If you are looking for a large aperture scope then you would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn’t look seriously at SDM scopes.
Thankyou Peter…. all I can say is I feel very lucky to have this scope & look forward to many years of good viewing.” Phil Townsend
