I have optics from ancient Kmart binos to Nikon and Leica. I like the Orions a lot. Haven't put them through the paces yet, but the cursory backyard star gazing was quite surprisingly good. Can't wait to try the filters. Another fun pair of optics I have and use frequently is Pentax...

I ordered the moonglow today to give it a try. We got the Perseids coming up in a few weeks.

UHC ones like these? https://www.highpointscientific.com/apertura-2-ultra-high-contrast-filters-set-of-two or moonglow/skyglow? https://www.highpointscientific.com/apertura-2-moon-and-skyglow-filters-set-of-two

Cabin looks intact, no fire apparent. That's a bad one, heavy damage all around. Hopefully no one seriously hurt. Nightmare stuff there.

I carry cheap Harbor Freight shipping blankets, both for the comfort to kneel on and to wrap stuff so it won't bounce around.

Warthog and Dumpster, American style.

@hemiarch, do you think if L-track flagpole holders with posts would be a good solution to use this awning off to the side of the bed instead of the cab? I know if may not work with the tent setup most likely, but I was thinking about a way to move the awning away from the doors. This...

Hilarious and humbling

There's a Craftsman door opener app that I use instead of MyQ (somehow they're the same) and there's been no ads on that version so far.

Same same.

There's a set of CT frunk molle panels on A Prime Day $98. I personally am not in the market for these, but might suit someone. I worry about overloading the frunk auto open close with additional weight though over time and use. Other than this, Prime Day is a bust. Frunk Panels

How do you "red out" all the extraneous illumination on the Cybertruck for star parties? There's so many little light sources that I don't know where to start.................

TBH, that was an Eephus pitch, but bravo!

I had immediate steering issues just driving out of the lot at delivery on FSCB Sept 2024 and did a u-turn right back to the Service Center. I don't remember any alerts or warnings, just really bad steering issues when trying to make lane changes or turns. It was disheartening to say the...

I just ordered the Orion 2x54 binos. Excited to try them. Anyone use a Seestar or similar yet?

I spent some time last year modifying my vintage Meade ETX60 for bluetooth and app integration. I also inherited an Edmund Scientific Astroscan. Those wide angle binos look fun!

I had been considering buying Nemo Stargazer chairs for meteor shower, Starlink satellite counting, and "other" reclined views. They are pricy, $180 per. But have great reviews. The recline angle really supports the head and neck for sky viewing, which is why I wanted the Newo. Costco is...

I have this thing called an A4box, 1500W portable induction cooker, disappeared from the US market unfortunately. It has flat top, grill, shabu-shabu soup , takoyaki/meatball, pancake plates. It's been great for roadtrip, hotel room cooking. I knew as soon as I got the Cyberbeast it would...
