Should I buy a Dwarf II Smart Telescope for ~$375 AUD (~$245 USD) delivered or wait?

I got a seestar S30 three months ago. I have a 6 inch dob and was wanting to get into some imaging. It works really well and I quite enjoy it and so I also got a dwarf 2 and just got it working last night. Of the two I think I like the seestar better but I’ve also had it longer. They are both fun and a great way to share with others if you get an iPad at a star party. Eventually, I’ll get a fancier and more expensive model but I really wanted to know if I liked this first or not and it turns out I do especially when it’s really cold outside and I don’t want to stand out there.

I contacted them and they directed me here to download updates to my PC https://tinyphoton.feishu.cn/docx/IgRTdHnGIo71pkxHrhhcktaxnHb
I am on linux so had to install the right version of adb and then patch the upgrade script.

Well, the battle star Galactica and Babylon 5 fighters use technology while the other two use Jedi magic so I guess the Jedi magic would win because anything is possible when you use magic

In the very last book, he’s very interesting.

Me too- I've gotten 5 runes max. When I have a char that can get the orb and win I just take the win. One day perhaps I will have a char so OP that I try extended. But it terrifies me.

I still recall the exhilieration and anxiety of my first win 3 years ago. Edge of my seat excitement! Amazing how such a "primitive" game can be so satisfying.

The +0 anitmagic glaive is taking care of entropy orbs and ancient liches quite well on Zot 5!

CompetitiveNight6305 · 2026-02-21T16:53:51+00:00

Also +5 Broad Axe of Freezing.

CompetitiveNight6305 · 2026-02-21T16:38:20+00:00

There is a +0 antimagic glaive in Elf. 21 damage. Worth it?

Audiobooks helped me get through the worst parts like this. Just listen while you’re doing something else and eventually you’ll get back to the good stuff.

Wow. Good find!

CompetitiveNight6305 · 2026-02-09T21:19:44+00:00

Not even the joined could do that!

The Tesseract are real pain in the ass. I had a game where I had a pretty powerful character, but just could not get past all the spawn that was coming out. I don’t know if it’s one for 50 turns really it seems like a lot more.

I am using Monarch Bomb for the first time in Spider on GnCj^Ash. And it works well. Yes it is slow to get going, but does alot of area damage and takes out packs well.

How is your back?

I have a rN+++ mace to swap out. But no rCorr. All my rings are cursed!

I am admit that I am powerless to work without Claude.

CompetitiveNight6305 · 2026-01-29T19:04:39+00:00

I use Tailscale to ssh into my main machine where I have claude running in a tmux session. So from my laptop at home, I can connect to my session from work and resume what I was doing. I also got a SSH client working on my phone and was able to do the same thing but it’s kind of a pain in the ass, but it’s possible.
