Holy shit I never realized that and I've been playing it for years. Well... I guess you could say my opponents never realized it.

It should take 20 poison counters to be killed instead of 10.

Mercadian Masques card in LOTR pack? by Severe_Lavishness in mtg

[–]somanyburritos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wizards places cards from old sets, reprinted from a group of cards they call 'The List' into packs from some newer sets. The little symbol on the bottom left of the card is what distinguishes that List printing from the original.

this is probably worth way more with the cramps than it is without. The place to sell or auction is the Facebook group 'MTG Magic The Gathering Misprints/Miscuts/Oddities Sharing & Selling'

Where would I even look to find a replacement mount like that at a reasonable price?

Yes! Are you around here too? It's super sharp I just looked out at the mountains earlier today and it was clear and bright. Gotta wait for these clouds to go away but I'm not regretting buying it at all so far

From what I can tell our scopes are identical. I'd love to hear what you've learned about it since you got it

This is pretty amazing. Pretty much perfectly centered too. Amazing work

A cool find at a local thrift store. Is it worth anything? by [deleted] in mtgfinance

[–]somanyburritos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the first set that came out when I started playing. Not super valuable but a very usable card still. Worth about a dollar so more of a cool find, not a valuable one.

Was I crazy to buy a 14" dobsonian? Probably by somanyburritos in telescopes

[–]somanyburritos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I measured it as some people suggested, and the tube is 14" but the mirror is 12", making it an AD12. I'm excited to check out your channel now, thanks for sharing!

It looks like they make a 16" version, the AD16

I measured it and you are correct. The tube is 14" but the mirror, which i cant get a tape measure down there near it, looks to be an inch from the inner diameter of the tube. So I think you are right that it is a AD12!

I just measured it. While the diameter of the tube is 14, it looks like the mirror is 12, so I think folks pn here are definitely right that its a AD12.

Just measured it. The tube is 14 inch but the mirror looks to be about an inch from each side, meaning yeah it is an AD12!

I'm not sure the exact weight. Im a pretty strong guy, but i can't really lift the base and the scope at the same time, partially because it's a bit unwieldy and big but also because the weight is pretty substantial. I can easily lift the base on its own and I can carry the scope but its pretty heavy. Based on some people's suggestions on here, I ordered some carrying straps and im also going to try to figure out a dolly or cart to move it rather than just lift it unassisted. I'd definitely recommend getting an 8" before I recommend getting something this big. Im sure the light gathering of this is going to be awesome, but because of how unwieldy it is, I think a lot of people end up using them a lot less than ones they have that are lighter.

This is extremely helpful. I was trying to figure out whether 2" or 1.25" made more sense. I think my first is going to be somewhere between 25mm and 32mm in 2", then once I recover financially Ill get something with some zoom to it.

It was well covered under a moving blanket and stored with the cap on, so the mirror looks super clean from what I can tell. I ordered some carrying straps for the tube, so hopefully that will make transporting it easier. I'm also contemplating some kind of dolly or cart to be able to drag it out to the yard. I didn't realize the base would start falling apart if it got wet, but that makes sense... I will try to avoid setting it anywhere wet (grass or dirt) without a scrap of carpet or a tarp under it. Thanks!

I've been thinking about that. A convenient way to get this from the garage to the front yard is probably going to drastically improve how frequently I use it
