[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 3067289, member: 76194"]Here's the one hobby that's gotten any serious attention from me over the last few weeks, and only because I can do it at night in the weekend, while enjoying a good cigar and a beer. [ATTACH=full]770190[/ATTACH] I upgraded from a super budget 4 inch Newtonian built with low grade materials to this 6 inch Smidt-Cassegrain from Celestron, with a computerized mount. Plus I upgraded a lot of my other astronomical accessories and eye pieces. All in all spent about $1,400 over the last three weeks upgrading telescope, eye pieces, filters, astronomy software, telescope accessories, etc, etc. But man, it was money well spent. Getting far better views from my light poluted skies than I ever thought possible. Half of the proceeds from JAs spring time sale of 13 of my coins will go towards a high end solar telescope, and the other half is being reinvested into my coin fund, so I can chase after rare usurpers and unusual coins from the era of the Crisis of the Third Century.[/QUOTE]
