TELESCOPES/ASTRONOMY 2

OK, here is a thread on telescopes and astronomy. I just go this scope: https://www.amazon.com/Celestron-22065-Master-Refractor-Telescope/dp/B01E5DVONO
Looked good for a beginner like me. I chose the refractor over the reflector due to having to adjust the reflector every once in a while. Plus it'll be mainly nighttime viewing. I'm not sure about how it will perform in the city though. I'll try both city and rural and post results.

This is what I’m getting. Like 95% sure. https://www.skywatcherusa.com/collections/esprit-ed-triplet-apo-refractors/products/esprit-150mm-ed-triplet-apo-refractor
I’m pretty sure I convinced my wife to road trip to the new property once it’s here to camp for a bit and get this thing some use.
Otherwise I may need to take a cabin trip soon.

Holy cow! I did look at some just over and under 1000, but I'll see how much I use this one. I like the idea of the computerized ones.

I got my oldest this one for her birthday

You get a decent view of the moon and craters but I couldnt see Venus in the Pleiades for shit. I live in the city so a lot of light pollution
At least it looks pretty in the window

Damn!
150mm is legit. I have a 90mm Maede Refractor and its pretty awesome. Wish I had a 100mm or bigger 
Nice pic Trex! Mine was about $350 so we are now Tele-buddies!

I literally cannot think of a single more depressing topic than space. Entropy? The heat death? As every second goes by we are more and more disconnected with the universe. The unlimited potential of the universe doesnt even compare to those things. Yeah sure theres some cool looking things out there......
-------------------- Only hope can give rise to the emotion we call despair. But it is nearly impossible for a man to try to live without hope, so I guess that leaves Man no choice but to walk around with despair as his companion.

The only depressing thing about Astronomy is that I will never own one of those professional research ones that cost billions of dollars and can see deep into Space

The mere concept of our current understanding of space depresses me. A reflection of all our lives being futile. That's what I learned about space. Unless theres an edge of space that everything's going to eventually bounce off of. Is entropy just a theory?

I think about entropy a lot when tripping.
It’s honestly the main topic.

Then think about this, every single second we are actually decomposing and dying every single day. Each breath brings us closer to death. (since you went there a bit)

Based on the posted I’ve seen from you I wouldn’t be surprised if you actually believed that.

Oh shit, yeah it looks pretty huge.
City Astronomy is no beuno, unless you live in a place with special city lights or have a epic view.
Theres probably a cleaning kit you can buy for it.

Yeah, reassembly would be kinda freaky for sure 
The biggest downside of mirrored teles is the maintenance. But they can see farther, so its a trade off.

Enjoy 
Works great on big screens. 
Edit: I just realized you can zoom-in and see satellites and stars/nebulas
