Sky-Watcher Heliostar 76 mm is 3450......
You can get a Coronado for $800. But they don't have the granular resolution that the $12k Lunt has

On Youtube, there's these rich guys that buy these giant million dollar reflecting telescopes and then have another million dollars worth of building and electronics built around them. That'd cost Elon Musk a half-days pay.

Tonight's a Lunar Eclipse.  We'll see how it turns out.  I'm ready for the pre-clipse...Hopefully it won't be cloudy in the middle of the night.

This guy, Andrew McCarthy lives in AZ. He makes so much money from posting his photos on X, instagram and tictoc that all's he does is he flies all over the world with his telescopes taking these insane photos.

But this guy will set up his telescopes and let them run for hundreds of hours over consecutive nights and then "stack" hundreds of thousands of video frames to produce those images.

"Columbia University just announced they have expelled, suspended or revoked degrees from students who seized a building during an anti-Israel protest last year

ICE should get ahold of that list and deport the visa holders in that group"

Took me a long time to figure out that I don't have to apologize for who or what I am.
   Only  to God.

It took me a long time to figure out that Dennis Franz was like four different cops on two different cop shows. I always thought it was the same show and I was confused.
