Hey all so the bumblebee wasnt the only thing I got yesterday
I also picked up a telescope I have wanted.
Its a 10" "GO-TO" Dobsonian telescope. So it has motors on the base and the one arm. On the hand held device I can scroll through I want to look at hit enter and my telescope will move and point right at it. I can also lock onto the object because as the earth rotates the things you are looking at in your eye piece will constantly move out of view so with the lock on feature I can have my telescope track the object and keep it in the eyepiece.
The thing is a monster! I am 6 foot tall and the tube goes half way up my chest without it being on the stand. The end is wide enough (10") That I could easily fit my head in it lol. On the stand it comes up to my chin!
Anyways I didnt get to use it because it was cloudy last night but hopefully it wont be tonight!!
I also got a NEXIMAGE5 which is a 5MP camera I can put in my telescope to take pictures of what I am looking at! So expect some sweet shots!
Here are some pictures I took :
Size comparison of me to the boxes. ( I am 6 foot tall )
