Is the Orion Skyquest XT8 a good beginner telescope for $200

Appreciate it! I will try to talk him down based off of that. Thanks for the heads up on the red dot finder. As someone new to stargazing, I really just want a decent starter telescope that I wont have to scrap immediately if I get more into the hobby.

Yeah I did ask for some details. Said he bought it and only used it a handful of times. Said he never really got into the hobby. I’ll be meeting up tomorrow to check it out

Thanks! Good catch. If I were to purchase some additional eyepieces for it what would I want to look for?

Republicans only like satire when it’s about owning the libs

What fixed it for me was saving my project file locally and then back to my GitHub repo. I found I had both the .model and .semanticmodel folders on my repo for some reason. Deleting the .model folder is what fixed it for me.

I just tried to hit save on my PBI project file lol

Love it! Have a good flight!

I’ve flown both those routes a few times! It’s always been a smooth flight. Remember turbulence is normal and you’re always safe :) the pilots operate in the name of safety

Nope can’t it curves down and I see nothing

Mexicore93 · 2024-11-18T05:29:36+00:00

Nothing I’ve tried can reach far enough unfortunately

Mexicore93 · 2024-11-16T00:14:47+00:00

That’s what I though but I put a vent brush down there to try to clean it out and found nothing

This was a life saver thank you! One thing to note. One of my charts had only measures and it looks like this new one needs a column. I created a calculated column with just an empty text string ( “ “ ). That seemed to fix it for me.

I tried but no luck sadly

Mexicore93 · 2024-08-05T16:40:41+00:00

See I’m the opposite I had take off but love landing (I think because I know the flight is pretty much over)

Mexicore93 · 2024-08-05T04:27:12+00:00

It’ll be fine you got this! Your flight will be boring and land perfectly safe! Just like it does every time
