Why did you tie in Teledyne and Ball and Planewave into the GMU bookstore?
<raptop>

because that would be an interesting set of things to carry in a college bookstore
<WeylandsWings>

raptop: the issue with those dobs are that they tend not to be motorized and can’t be easily mounted to other mounts. Plus they are dibs to viewing some stuff can feel like you are in a yoga class

!8 20 cm SCT on a fork mount with a wedge for polar alignment?
<galois>
raptop: no
<raptop>
I mean, anything that's not using some form of folded optics tends to be a bit long, so outside of small scope on a big mount is going to take some tricks to view at some angles

raptop: hopefully bionic eyes will come soon. My family has a history of Advanced Macular Degeneration and my grandfather was pretty much functionally blind for the last 4ish years of his live and pretty blind in one eye for like the last 20 years, and my mother is starting to see some degredation
<raptop>
meep
<WeylandsWings>
and you could jsut look through the filters, hell 3d printing a sunglasslike holder for standard round filters would be reasonably trivial
<raptop>
Well, not the UV or IR ones <_<

raptop, JIRA showed me the phrase "kanban board" this week when I glanced at a different team's layout, made me chuckle
<raptop>
SnoopJeDi: I'll interpret that as plywood used as backing that the kanban proper is displayed on
