I just read an article on Ars Technica, reviewing a new telescope. Super cool. Well written and, while I was reading it, nearly convinced me to buy a telescope. We live out in the woods. Often, when I take the dogs out at night, I look up and see stars and planets, and frequently even satellites zooming past. For five minutes in a row, I thought I might enjoy having a digital telescope to take pictures of Mars, or Jupiter. That would be cool.
The activity is cool and the process sounds kind of neat but, and this is the part that’s easy to forget as one reads the story, what thing are you doing right now that you are willing to stop doing in order to start doing this new thing? Sleep is not optional.
