Was this a good purchase?

I just bought this:

at telescopes.com/Orion for around $250. Anyone know anything about telescopes that can tell me if it was a good purchase? (I'll have 30 days to return it)

well... what does she do... does she clean in the nude? If so, I would say that it was 250 well spent. :lol:

Really now, a pair of decent binoculars would have done just fine, unless she lives about a mile or so away, then I can understand getting a telescope...

Oh wait, you meant for star gazing like constellations, right?

Or Nibiru.

I thought since the world is ending and all that, why bother? You can stock up food and water but still jay you will die right?

If the US economy crashes before Nibiru arrives, food and water will be skyrocketing in price. "A loaf of bread will buy a bag of gold". Starving to death is not the way I want to go. :shock:

Sorry Jay, I've owned a few 'scopes, but nothing over $160.00!

I've been disappointed every time too. How did the moon look tonight? Clear?

I'd check out stargazers to see what you can see tonight(Mars? Venus? Uranus? Comet548?). And if it looks crisp, then I say you made a good purchase.

That telescope will serve you just fine in your quest to observe passing lizard-man space vessels.

Please let us know if you see any flying-saucers near the UK.

Didn't the Guardian report about that recently?

About Jay's single-handed fight to overthrow the most sophisticated global-conspiracy ever seen from the comfort of his armchair?

If they did, I didn't see it.

No, about UFOs in the UK. Something it attacking a police helicopter and whatnot.

If you need to sell it, The Prowler will buy it off you for cost.
He needs something that powerful to find his cock

What the hell do you need a telescope for when there is a perfectly good nerdy female standing right there? Surely you don't need a telescope to find Heranus... get it... Heranus...

piece of crap. My dad bought me one of these:

It's got a USB connection and everything. It's awesome.

Interesting. First of all I can't find it on Telescopes.com and Orion isn't listed as a Brand on the pull down list. So, not having anything to go on, other than the picture, can you give a few vital stats about the telescope? That way I can give you a good idea about how good it is and how easy it is to use.

From a general perspective, as the song goes, it's "guarenteed to blow your mind." From general telescopes of that size and assuming you have minimal light polution you should easily be able to see the rings of Saturn in impressive detail, spot all the details on the moon (but not the lunar lander) and see stars and galaxies in a whole new light.

All before they move out of view and you have to adjust the telescope again because of the earth's rotation is always moving these objects out of your view. :twisted:

You just need to pray that your finder scope, and its mount are good. If they are not I`m betting annoyance will soon come.

Perhaps he meant to say telescope.com --- (no ''s'' )

The problem is that unless you have a very stable tripod usable for outdoors (this appears to be a table-top telescope) that can contend for the azimuth and elevation, this will only be good for a voyeur or wildlife scope, and those activities can be handled by a good set of binoculars (and some duct tape to attach to your head for hands-free viewing).

But your post had nothing clever about Jay wanking it to chipmunks!

By 2012-2014 the world wide population will be able to see it, along with many earthquakes and bad weather. By 2014, Expect New York,Miami, Los Angolas all to be the new Raptures.

2/3 of the population will die from niburu, and 2/3 of the survivors will die of natural elements and starvation.(Yes I watched your video).
