Same.Same.

“Kids” got one for Xmas...for some reason we bought a gigantic one (12" dobsonian)...LOL...I have used it twice since Xmas. I want to use it more, but between clouds, full moons, and work travel, I really haven’t had the chance to even learn how to use the damn thing CORRECTLY.

Nice, I kinda wish I went with one of those...I went the manual, but with large optics route. I intend to DIY a solution soon.

Makes me think of using a Fresnel lens from a rear projection to melt pennies

Look at a full moon. It’s amazing seeing all the craters

What kind of gun are you mounting it on? If no gun, have you discovered any lost Mayan cities? If not, throw scope away.

Don’t know, but Saint Paul Simonon of The Clash once said:

I come from a long way away
And I know a fine thing when I see it
See it
For the same reason no one ever pointed a telescope at the sun
