In the spirit of the Sidewalk Universe Guy’s forum “Tessy’s & Fuji’s Toy Telescope”, a joint solar observe was undertaken by $2500 60mm Coronado Solar max and a $5.00 60mm Bushnell “Sky Rover 1” in the backyard of the Drive-By astronomer.
The test: Which would provide the most fun and enjoyment?
Following two days of stormy single digit weather, WNY was treated to a beautiful sunny 40+ degree day. The scopes thought they would play together in the “Stupid Little Astro-Pod” (coined by the Sidewalk Universe Guy in Sparks, NV). As you can see there was plenty of room in the spacious observing pod for both scopes as well as Huckleberry and new found friend Angelica.
Results: Tie.
