Fed up with NEW SCOPE ARRIVES posts!

You know who cares, who really gives a damn that some over paid yuppy creep
just received his new 3" APO on an alt aaz mount of a 14" SCT and then
asks whats good to look at with the scope. I mean who gives rats ass.
That's one of the problems with the whole amateur astronomy world, there
are too damn many AMATEURS. It used to be that it took some skill to use a
scope, you learned the night sky, you star hopped you figured out where
your ass was and you didn't need both hands and a government agency to tell
you where it was.
Now we have any silly **** with a few bucks to burn out there buying these
new GOTo scopes , scopes mind you that are at best a work in progress or
like the MEADE LXD absolute complete ****.
So the get the damn scope, think that have the thing put together, give the
god damn thing some idiot name and drag the 90lb pile of junk outside and
try and figure out which end is up. Well ****.

I agree with this part. Too many new amateurs
are just "appliance operators."

you sound really frustrated, sit down, count to ten, before you post again.
you sound like an 60 year old jealous child!

really, I am not interested in messages like this in this group. I welcome
anybody who is interested in science, whether they have money to buy an
expensive scope or not.
