how the hell do amateur astronomers map asteroids n shit. i can barely find the moon in my telescope
#i saw saturn shes pretty but like. eh.#my eyes are NOT GOOD my telescope is a COMPLEX MACHINE the moving parts KEEP MOVING and the sky? the entire sky? never stops moving either#standing in one place trying to focus on a single dot of light is entirely impossible#my knees hurt my back hurts im sure something bit me#i rubbed catnip all over myself to stop the mosquitos#the people mapping asteroids for fun are absolute maniacs#here track this relatively tiny non-luminous thing across the night sky we wont pay you either#my eyes are exhausted and a raccoon growled near me#my celestron has a SCOPE. uou would think it would be helpful. its not.#its cool tho. i dont know what magicery it uses but the laser pointer is always at the same point in the sky no matter where you look at it#unfortunately tho the on switch is a turn dial. the way to readjust it is also a turn dial. u see the problem here#so ur in the fuckin dark being eaten alive by bugs the counterweight mechanic is confusing at best and everything sucks#i love astronomy but the whole manual telescope thing aint for me#just give me datasets to analyze ill do that in search of extraterrestrial goldmines#me? and my eyes? no telescope on earth can accommodate for visual snow and astigmatism#god who thought it was a good idea to give the blind person a telescope as a gift#anyways. how does the mm system work for the lense pieces i feel like things got smaller on the 15mm than the 9mm
