We went to a liquidation place and they had a Mead DS-2130AT for a song and a dance.
I have always wanted a REAL scope and I just could not pass on this deal.
It a 5 inch Newtonian Reflector Telescope. It has GOTO that I though was pretty cool.

It all started when I was a kid, I just loved the night sky.
There was a planetarium at the nearby collage.
They ran a 12 week class on the universe.
I lost count of the times I went to see it,
it was more then 5 times!
I still love planetariums
