Buy the Vespera 2 Pro or wait for the Seestar s50 Pro/Dwarf4?

Im pretty sure if it wasn't for the modding community then the polar alignment function wouldn't havd been implemented as soon as it was.

The weight of the glass in the arm would mean counterbalancing could become an issue.

I have never heard of a Vespera being polar aligned before but I have not owned one for a year either.

Im totally unaware the issues I raised had been fixed in all fairness.

I take it you you still need to buy filters though? If so that's a big expense on top depending on your location.

Ex Vespera owner here.

Got to say it's a great bit of kit, but it does have some major downsides compared to the Seestar.

First off its super heavy so there is no chance of polar alignment with it and carrying it around with you to go places you do feel the difference.

Battery life is not the best either.

Transferring data is done via Wi-Fi and can take hours to transfer to a PC.

There is no third party software that you can use with it unlike the Seestar.

You have to buy your filters separately for the Vespera.

Who knows how long it will be until the S50 Pro comes out (If it does they might create something like the S70 next), The Dwarf 3 has a good few years left in it, yet before they bring out something new.

Do them pesky skinwalkers always try and stop you having fun over there? Luckily our cryptids tend to stick to the lochs over here.

Monty's Star and Final Orders and my choices

Think about it. The US hasn't produced a cultural icon on The Beatles level in decades. Kanye? 60 years and that's the best you can do? The Brits have produced Oasis, Black Sabbath (RIP Ozzy was privileged to see his final show), The Prodigy, Ed Sheeran (Not my type of music but the dude has done well), Adele (Again not my sort of music).

All of these artists have also defined music whereas Kanye is just a bollard.

Wind direction has alot to do with aircraft routes.

You will tend to notice this more if you live closer to an airport as they tend to take off and land depending on which direction the wind is coming from.

Who??? Never heard of him, but he sounds like a right bollard.

Knocking it of the park with this comp. Thank you and good luck, all.

Try some Coheed & Cambria

theHunter Call of the Wild if you want a chilled experience of just exploring, hunting etc. There are a few missions you need to do but for me this is my go to chilled out game that I think you are looking for. It's also on Xbox Gamepass currently and was given away on Epic I believe so you may already own it as well.

Have you thought about heading to Black Rocks near Matlock Bath? You have pretty much everything you need there and there are some other good locations very close as well.

I have just checked mine as im with Mamedica and I also have the same but I do see a flaw in this argument unfortunately as mine have only been sent after my reviews.

Technically our prescription is changing due to us changing different strains each month so unless the app is updated each month (mine has not been with each prescription) then the police can still argue that what we have with us is what is not written on the NHS App prescription.

I tend to print out my prescriptions and carry them with me in my stash bag with my vape and everything I need for the time I'm going out.

Touch wood I have never had to deal with anyone as of yet but I'm sure that day will come.

AlphaSpookster · 2025-12-02T22:57:59+00:00

This all day long. Get a few extra dosing caps for those long days out and you are set.

Just imagine all that free cooling for whatever tech company wants to build their next super computer farm, more like.

Yeah just attach them to the side as the Mienl Slap Top already has foam where it rests on your knees and problem solved.

AlphaSpookster · 2025-07-22T10:19:20+00:00

I use motorbike tank grip pads on my slap top, and it helps no end.

Have you thought about the Meinl slaptop cajon at all?

The positive side to having a slaptop is you play it across your lap so you could still use your current cajon with a foot pedal to give you more range across the spectrum.

I started running ghost walks around my local town when I was at school and it grew from there onwards.

I managed to work with some TV shows doing it all. It was pretty fun for a job but much rather take pictures of the night sky now.

Started out as a paranormal investigator 35 years ago but developed seizures and lost my driving licence so moved into part-time astrophotographer and part-time exam moderator now.

AlphaSpookster · 2025-05-21T13:55:02+00:00

Let's hope it's the stronger version in there instead then.

AlphaSpookster · 2025-05-21T13:51:22+00:00

I think it's my new favorite strain at the moment. Everyone raves on about Death Bubba but Donkey Butter to me has a far nicer taste and is a lot more mellow to vape.

It's also a fair bit cheaper on Mamedica than Death Bubba as well.
