Great image as always! You should do a whole video on your Ikea adventures just to see what ya come out with. Good luck with your move. Hope in addition to the new place ya get better skies. That's my goal for my next home.
I think an IKEA adventure from me would be more random commentary than actual purchases. I didn't see a whole lot of stuff I liked, haha. Actually, I moved to a worse sky. Still in San Francisco except now I'm 2 blocks away from the Pacific Ocean... haha
The stacked tables can be used like dinner trays or for temporary tables and they stack in order to conserve space. Man, Pleiades is looking amazing as always. I need to get more integration time on it.. maybe after my attempt at a mosaic of the Heart and Soul Nebulas I’ll go back to it? It’s so wispy and delicate looking. Angus, I hope your move goes well and I will be looking forward to seeing your next video. Remember to keep a positive mental attitude and clear skies! #PMA
Another great message! Yes, positive mental attitude is so important and I need more of it, thanks for the good reminder! I hope you're doing well too and Happy Holidays! :)
Thanks for asking David! I had oil/residue leakage onto my sensor. I was apparently the first Altair Astro owner to report it. Safe to say, the support from Altair Astro has been extremely positive. The issue has been identified already. I can go into more details in a future video.
Great video. How do you like the GT81 vs the AT80EDT. I am looking at these two telescopes, and it's difficult to decide. They both look good on paper. I have a SpaceCat 51, and I just love it. So, I am partial to WO. But the AT is such a good deal. Care to share your insight?
Thank you! With their telescope core construction and build quality being essentially equal, the WO comes equip with better accessories such as mounting hardware, graduated field rotator (forever useful). Lastly, you need to value how much optically superior glass matters to you. (FPL-53 vs FPL-51). With my own eyes, I see no appreciable difference between these two scopes. Astro-Tech has built a reputation of squeezing the most out of previous generation glass. I do plan on a direct comparison video between the two and share more of my thoughts.
Woboyz? Who are they marketing to? What small fragment of the market is going to buy technical equipment from a site called Boyz? Are they Proud of that name?
Well I'm the owner here... Yes it's not a conventional name and yes it's marketing towards people or even younger people and we sell just some of the main telescopes from WO with occasional promotional deals so some of the customer could get it brand new for cheaper. Hey if you ever want a Brand New WO product just hit us up and we are very proud of our new grand opening 👍

But how do you explain the human heads as lights at IKEA though? hahaha
Moving to the country I hope!
Hahaha, no I'm still in the city, but now two blocks from the Pacific Ocean. So technically, went to a worser skies 😅
Why did you have to send in you 26C? I'm having some issued with my 294C and wondering if I'm going to have to send it in. Its only 3 months old.

So I take it you'll have an easier time polar aligning now that you (hopefully) won't have a huge tree to your North anymore?
Hahaha, well, I will have new obstacles which I will highlight in a soon to come video. You'll see. But I already have a solution (I think)
