Hard Boiled Eggs and Telescopes

[Shadow]

Well the optics sometimes costs more than the telescope sometimes.... my telescope was $1200 used and the optics (depending on how much zoom you want) ended up costing almost another $1000.

You have the autostar system though and thats a great computer as it basically shows you a computerised guided tour of the sky at night and as a novice this is pretty good as i didnt know anything about it and this taught me alot.

I'm more than sure that this will be a good xmas present

Yeah I've noticed that they can get pretty pricey... I guess I'll have to do more research before I buy one for myself... or maybe I'll should just try sicking to the hobbies I already have ahaha

But good to know it should be ok for her nehew (he's like 7ish)... probably use it for 5 min then run back to his Wii ahah
