I love the information you provide, but also do not own a telescope. Because I live too close to a big city for it to work…😔

I actually do not even own a telescope; I am a school student and I was hoping to learn as much as I can about telescopes before convincing my parents to buy one. 

Hi Adam, would love to join the course unfortunately located in Southern Hemisphere.  Keep up the good work.

Hi Adam
i enjoyed the couple of video’s you shared. Unfortunately I will be travelling for a couple of years and have to leave my telescope at home😢  Maybe sometime in the future  meanwhile thanks again regards Derek 
 

Not ready to devote enough time yet. Right now focused on getting a mount set up to use my televue 85 and seriously investigating a refactor in the 130mm range. Could use help in that area.

I’m a pensioner and can’t afford a telescope also so much light pollution where I live makes watching the night sky difficult but I do love to read all about the wonder of the planets in your emails 

I bought (9months ago) from Wex a telescope for my son (41) who has 3 children and I get your emails which I forward on to him. Maybe he should get them direct?
Maybe I should get a telescope and start star gazing?

Looks like a great course. But it looked like all the courseware available in the VAC membership, which I plan on joining in the future. As for access to you for 30 days, sounds like a great deal but I won’t be around much for the next 30 days. Thanks!

I live in a big city, and most of my telescope use is right in my backyard. The light pollution makes it hard to see even the Andromeda Galaxy.

Adam:  Stange as it might seem, I don’t even own a telescope.  I have been looking at them for some time but have not jumped in and made the purchase just yet.  Could be I suffer from “paralysis of analysis”.  I want to get the right one for my needs but just can’t decide which one is right.  It was never about the cost of the course or your level of expertise.  I appreciate your enthusiasm and your devotion to helping others, and your emails.  Will be become much more involved when I actually purchase a scope.  Thank,     Charles

I do not have any time at this point in my life.
Thank You

I don’t have a telescope yet but have been looking into features and affordability.  I also live in a well-lit suburban setting that is becoming more built up each year.  May one day relocate to a smaller community with darker skies and proximity to even darker skies.  In the meantime I would not be able to put your very interesting course to practical use.  Like studying the boating regulations to get the boater card.  Nothing beats the hands-on experience.

I live in the city and can only see the planets and a few stars most of the time. 
 

Adam, my wife and I just like to look at the stars and know where a few are. More about pondering the infinity than about the astomony. We don’t have a telescope and don’t really want one. 
We like to knwo what to look for all the time, but with teh naked eye. 
You do GREAT stuff though and anyone i come across that wants to know more about the details of astronomy, I send your way. 
Keep up the good work…it’s just that most is not for us right now. 
Cheers, Ken

Hi Adam
I already told you that I lived in Australia and you advised people of the southern hemisphere not to bother to buy your course…
However, I kept all your Emails and used them when relevant to my situation.  And thanks again!

Hi Adam. I thought the course looked really interesting. However, I had just signed up two weeks ago during your last special, and this wasn’t that much different (and I’d spent the extra dollars for awhile). Yes, there were extras, but I don’t need them right now.
I’m working through the various courses now and they’re really, really good for me, a rank beginner. They are meeting what i think is their primary goal — to get me and my wife looking at the night sky with or without our telescope. I just turned 69, and being able to point out Jupiter and Saturn for the first time in my life is very exciting. We were in the mountains of New Mexico a month ago and found Polaris right off, again because of your clear communication.
We’ve not reached the stay-up-until-2:00 AM or get-up-at-3:30 AM stage, but I’m pretty sure it will happen.

Winter is fast approaching and I felt I had too many commitments to take it now; in a few months

Hi Adam,
thank you for the offer. I like your approach and your willingness to help, but the truth is, I don’t own a telescope and am no longer steady enough on my feet to reliably make it up the stairs to the WAS telescope.  Thanks, Sherry

Hi Adam, whilst I would love to learn more about astronomy, I have a 6 year old daughter and consequently little time to do so. Perhaps in a couple of years I will have more time 🤞

I’m very new to this and rather intimidated. Concerned I wouldn’t get best value for the price as i am so new to it all. Really appreciate your emails
