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?  :)

    • Shocker! It would be crazy to be ready to introduce a "fold" phone but have no plans happening for a followup model.
    • XBOX is at the end of its generational life cycle and wasn't selling much anyway. They need to figure out the pricing for XBOX Helios. However, I'm not buying the DRAM shortage with AI preferring HBM. I think it's industry gouging.
    • Amazon Prime Day 2026: Best Dolby soundbar deals from Sony, Samsung, JBL, Polk, and more by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered the JBL BAR 800 which is a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos/Vision soundbar. The unit is on sale for its lowest ever price of just $800 making it a solid offer. However, there are many more options to choose from and in this article, we have made a compilation of the best deals including from Sony, Polk, Yamaha, Denon, Samsung and more. Sony's BAR models are currently at their lowest prices which makes them solid offerings. The company's BRAVIA Theatre Bar lineup is designed to suit different home cinema needs. The Bar 5 is an entry-level 3.1-channel soundbar with a wireless subwoofer, supporting Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X, S-Force PRO Front Surround, and Vertical Surround Engine for immersive audio with clear dialogue. The Bar 6 upgrades to a 3.1.2-channel configuration by adding dedicated up-firing speakers for more convincing overhead Atmos effects while retaining the wireless subwoofer. At the premium end, the Bar 7, Bar 8, and flagship Bar 9 are single-soundbar solutions featuring Sony’s 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology, which creates phantom speakers for a wider surround field. Bar 7 includes nine speaker units, Bar 8 increases this to eleven, and Bar 9 offers thirteen speaker driver units promising the most expansive soundstage and acoustic performance. All models should integrate seamlessly with compatible BRAVIA TVs and support the BRAVIA Connect app for setup and control.
