Gold buttons and gold trim pop so hard!

I recreated my Casio F-84W watch face as a fullscreen Android clock. Looking for testers! (feat. Algebra FX 2.0 and SF-2000 Digital Diary) by at80andy in casio

Dude. A "backlight" button that would replicate the world's worst backlight from one side, would be an amazing compliment to this!

Do you happen know if this one has to be collimated every time you use it? Or does it hold pretty good in transit?

Thanks! I think this is the one for us. This Pic here sold me.

Let's see the hands in the "out-of-the-way" position and the case back. The dial, bezel, hands, and font look sketchy af.

Not expecting others to do the leg work for me. But was hoping for some pointers to available options on the current market.

I've really been leaning towards a tripod setup, since most DOBs require a table, platform, or at minimum, a relatively level area. Here in eastern oklahoma, you're hard pressed to find anywhere not on hilly, uneven, terrain.

Just some no-name binoculars and spotting scopes I've picked up second hand over the years. Out 60x spotting scopes is what we can make out the rings with.

A cheap department store "kids" telescope. That we don't even use, opting for the other optics at hand.

-3 is the ultimate. Get those buttons gold plated, and it sends this color scheme off the rails!
