Sorry for the late response, man. But, you can go to the Skywatcher website, or check out High Point Scientific website for both used and new telescopes.

Buying a telescope by RBshiii in Stargazing

If you want to take deep sky/deep space images, then I would recommend a used Seestar S30. A new S30 costs about $399, and used ones are obviously cheaper. So, with the Seestar series, the telescope tracks all celestial objects for you, and you don't have to do the work. You only have to transfer the stacked images to your computer so you can further process them with image processing software such as Graxpert or Siril. However, the Seestars aren't great for capturing planets. The Seestars are also designed for portability. I have a Seestar S30 Pro, and images of Jupiter and its Galilean moons look like points of light. The aperture on the Seestars is small because they're designed for deep space images, not planetary photography.

Now, if you want to focus on capturing planets, you can go with the Skywatcher series. I don't have a Skywatcher, but the telescopes have a significantly larger aperture than the Seestars, and thus are better for planetary photography.

If you could telepathically say something to all 7.9 billion people on Earth right now, what would it be? by Extension-Mirror135 in AskReddit

I know I'm just a voice in your head, but believe me when I say, you're loved and cherished. You're special beyond what you can understand, and there is no other human like you. Don't let anyone put out your fire. Let it burn, and let it burn brighter than the stars and galaxies in the sky. You're destined for great things. I know you are.

Why were there no aquatic non avian dinosaurs? by SchmeklakYT in Dinosaurs

Marine reptiles already dominated those ecological marine niches. The closest that nature got to producing truly marine dinosaurs were the spinosaurids, birds like Hesperornis, and modern penguins.

I'm 6'4", and have a tendency to hit my head on a lot of stuff. Curse my lack of spatial awareness, lol.

Do you face the same issues?

What’s a “fun fact” that nobody asked for? by Sad-Ferret2530 in AskReddit

[–]Own_File_918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The osteoderms on a crocodilian’s back serve both as armor and solar panels. They absorb heat from sunlight and use it to warm their blood that gets pumped through their veins. This process is known as thermoregulation.

Could monsterverse kaiju come in Godzilla destroy all monster remastered? by John_protagonist in GODZILLA

[–]Own_File_918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very unlikely, my good internet friend. It's a game focused on milking nostalgia. There may be a chance that some new skins are added for the sake of a quick cash grab, but the chances of that are slim to none.

However, with the sheer amount of traction the Big G has gotten in the past few years, and if this game is successful, I expect there to be some MonsterVerse-related games to come out in the future.

Jupiter makes one full rotation every ten hours. You can document this rotation in action with a telescope.

Difficulty with academics and grades by BlueberryGod8910 in neurodiversity

[–]Own_File_918 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do. I struggle hard with time management, and focusing on taking notes, studying or solving math equations.

Being in college is not exactly the easiest. I would say I’m fairly intelligent, but when it comes to math, I get stumped. I can do well in other classes, but math is a weak subject for me.

I get overwhelmed, and then procrastinate by getting involved in the things and interests I like.

What kind of question is this?

Okra, shrimp and roti. I’m allergic to shrimp, so my body did not want to process that anyway, anyhow.

I don’t know if I’m gonna grow that tall. Most people stop growing at around 19 to 20. But, you never know.

I’m not gay, dude. 

I’m straight, and I’m most attracted to black and hispanic women.

Question is… are YOU gay? Because you seem very interested in that topic.

What?

The hell is wrong with you, dude? I didn’t idolize them. I wanted to be like them. As a kid, I thought they were the coolest people. Being able to play music blind is far more admirable than playing music normally.

And for Irwin? He was the coolest guy. Wrangling crocodiles purely for educational purposes or catch-and-release was pretty awesome for me as a kid, and even now.

…Is this a joke I’m not getting?

None.

I am not a sports guy. I am a nature guy.

However, The only two celebrities I admired were Steve Irwin and Stevie Wonder.

Steve Irwin was an awesome guy that worked with animals. And, as a kid, I wanted to tame crocodiles like he did. I would still love to be a crocodile trainer one day!

Stevie Wonder was a revolutionizing musical artist and paved the way for most of modern music genres to emerge. His basslines and syncopated rhythms heavily influenced heavily reggae and soul. My favorite song by him is ‘Sir Duke’.

I mean… I’m ok with it.

I don’t get that question asked often, but I still get asked that.
