It's a telescope. But boy, is this thing incredible! I mentioned on Facebook last night that when I was looking at the Moon I could have sworn this thing was powerful enough to see a man walking on it...if we still did moon walks. Also, you might notice the pad on the floor. The telescope can be mounted on to a motor (the silver part of the tripod) which, once calibrated can then target over 42,900 objects in the sky. I managed to set it up last night to track the Moon, and it worked incredibly well!

Sorry, I'm super excited about this gift. :blush:

We haven't opened other gifts yet, so I'll report more a bit later.

Got a Skywatcher 127 myself, you'll need better power than the battery pack, it eats batteries and an air rifle to shoot out all the light pollution  :D

Yeah, we were talking with the guy when we bought it. The battery pack is just a temporary measure, I'll probably pick up a larger (a lot larger) one later on.

You'll find the free stellarium software (www.stellarium.org) and a serail cable to SynScan mount off eBay a lot easier than the keypad as well, happy stargazing!

Even though I am working later today, I bought nobody nothing and I got nothing in return it's an agreement I have in place every year

Just another day in purgatory then :D

I gift you the freedom of independent thought and the foresight to know when and when not to use it.

Sweet, how many watch faces are available for it?! :D

 

 

 

 

this is a good question i can't answer sadly as it came with only one and i don't even know if i could exchange them.

you probably hinting to one of these modern i-watches where you can exchange faces like others do their shorts right? 

but paying for these i would instead of supporting the us armed forces just a company which explores poor people working under horrible conditions. would that be really worth the trade?  :)

    • No. Windows 8 had little to no spywhare, is actually faster than 7 but it has the dreaded start screen, nothing that you could not fix with start8. Windows ME crashed often, but was shotlived and replaced by XP, which is a much better windows in itself.
    • Windows 8 was uninspiring but it was fine / worked. It was just overshadowed by how great Windows 7 was. Windows ME seem to be just unstable for most people - I was using Windows 2000, which was far superior. The two best versions are Windows 7 and 2000
    • I don't think ME was that bad. The stability issues were mostly caused by drivers. This was when the switch from vxd to wdm was happening. The other complaint was not being able to shut down into DOS anymore which was silly with XP right around the corner.
    • As much as I hated Windows 8, although I never used it personally on any of my own machines, I think Windows Me was hands down the worst OS from MS. I have Windows 11 on 2 unsupported machines and haven't had any issues and I actually kind of like it. Still hate how slow Windows updates are though.
    • Why do you think they whol industry would be done? Agree a lot has shifted around the launch with devs moving their dates to avoid the timeframe around the launch. But if this fails, it'll be talked about, analysed, Rockstar will likely be ridiculed but people will move on. Others devs might be more cautious about these large games but I don't think one game will change the entire industry
