Pah! Solar system, schmolar system (as I might say if I was a sterotypical Jewish mother). Besides I’ve recently worked out that I’m now the biggest thing in the universe, since I’m visible wherever I go. I’ve cancelled any holidays to south America incase they all start worshiping me instead of the sun. Madre Mia (as I might say if I was a stereotypical South American).
And I’ve brought myself a ‘scope now, so I’m a n00b with an expensive bit of equipment ๐
Here it is. It’s an Antares Sentinel 80mm short tube refractor. Just need to buy myself a few new eyepieces (just got a 32mm and a 12.4mm at the moment).
only if your new job is “snooping perv”
Nice scope Neon. Looks nice and compact and perhaps a little to small for my tastes. I want to get rid of the 6″ I have and swap it for an 8″ as theres a lot of nebulae to see this winter and it’s not so easy to see with a 6″
Seben is still the best affordable scope at the moment for an 8″ a little over รฦรโรยขรขโยฌร ยกรฦรขโฌลกรโรยฃ100 and also worth checking them out for lenses. (recommend the seben super zoom) just type in seben telescopes on ebay
heres a nebula for those that dont know
That’s a planetary nebula, not a proper nebula. This is caused by a star ejecting it’s outer layers whereas a proper nebula is a massive cloud of gas and dust, usually being formed into stars I believe.

As you’re being pedantic, I feel I must point out – the apostrophe in it’s was unnecessary. I love you anyway xx ๐
No apostrophe need for the possessive pronoun in “its”. Since we are being pedantic a “nebula” is merely the astronomical name for an area that there is formation of objects in, so Apunks was correct, and in fact I should point out that in order for him to be wrong he would have had to have made the distinction that it was a stellar nebula. Your incorrect use of the words “proper nebula” to imply stellar nebula was misleading and shameful.
one thing none of you seemed to have picked up is how damn awesome the surround sound is on this.
put the DVD back in, watch the first 2 minutes and you’ll appreciate that even though it’s not a silver screen masterpiece the sound is fantatsic ๐
sad day when you’re suggesting watching a film with your eyes shut, lol
