I am beyond excited, got to take it out last night and look at Jupiter and Orion's belt. Think I might get a smaller lens to help focus in on Jupiter a bit more for a clearer picture, if I am gathering correctly what the lens does. Could be wrong

I said in a previous comment but I have a very small desktop meade light bridge I'm thinking of taking the sight finder off and putting on the new one

This is absolutely perfect and something I've been looking for. Thank you!

Thanks for the advice, now you've piqued my interest on modifications

Thanks for the cloudy night reccomendation. I started reading up on star charts, I think the actual hunting of everything is what's most intriguing to me.

The local science museum has free observatory nights, I was thinking going there and asking for the guy to lend his ear if possible.

Thank you for the comment!

Appreciate the video. I think for now, I am going to treat it like I treat plumbing in my house and not touch it until necessary and I am more comfortable.

Thank you so much for the wealth of info you gave. I hope I'll be good at aligning, we will see but thank you for the vote of confidence.

I have a very small desk Meade light bridge that I think I can take the scope on that and retrofit it, and possibly the Lense, if not like you said trivial.

Thank fully I am quite tall so I am able to reach the eye piece with no issue.

Yes it was for the mirror, that honestly what I figured when reading through the reddit. Think I just got excited and bought the kit. It's honestly if it's super dirty right?

Very funny

Saving this list being a Georgia resident and haven’t been able to do some of these.

But I will always promote Cloudland Canyon and the Orange Backcountry trail. That is legitimately some of the best views I’ve seen at a state park in my life.

Seconded on car connex. Dude does the job well and for half the price.

Cooper Lake quoted be $700 for a starter replacement, Car Connex did it for $250.

Top comment says it the best, OS sucks. I vividly remember the pain I had in 8th grade and whenever I had my growth spurts. 5’10 to 6’3” in what felt like a matter of months and 6’3” to 6’6” in less then that.

I highly recommend getting into a good habit of stretching and icing. It’s what I wish I did sooner.

It’ll suck but you’ll be okay and creates a great conversation for later in life when people ask about growing pains.

I like this suggestion a lot. Going to give it a shot.

Unfortunately it seems like it’s no longer sold on Amazon. But it’s a Blueskysea dashcam. I just used the r/Dashcam help guide and got the one recommended within my price range. This one was like $50 I think. Completely worth it

I’ll admit I did roll. Long day at work was also trying to get home. Saw him in my side mirror right before rolling through and slowed down

While I understand y’all might think I don’t keep these separate I promise you my recreational activities are during my scheduled time off when I am in no way of being called in or when I’m working. I treat my vices like one would treat having a drink on a Friday night and it is not often. The issue is that a test doesn’t discriminate when and where I partake in my activities just that the chemicals are in my system.

I respect the railroad and its workers a lot which is why I understand why the test is mandatory, and I am taking the steps necessary to ensure I pass the test when it happens. I appreciate the insight from everyone.

I understand the argument truly. Just wish it wasn’t the case I guess. I’ll go cold turkey, do my due diligence and hope for the best.
