You'll notice I said 'ex' 😜

So, you were at S+1 (Where S is the number of telescopes owned before Separation)?

I now have more scopes.

My money anyway. Her dole money never contributed anything to running the house

That's like the old joke we have over here.

The wife said if i don't stop hunting and fishing so much she's going to leave me.

I sure do miss her cooking!

Of course a beautiful telescope should be out for others to see.

Just look at all of them you see in the movies standing in the background!

Newtonians are usually upside down though, this one without counterweights too... The Expanse is a fairly high budget series as well so it is quite surprising nobody bothered to do the little research it takes to point the telescope the right way up.

I think some non-astro folk sometimes confuse Newtonians with Bazookas. Easily done. Stroking it definitely won’t help though.

I regularly stroke my Newt though....
