Local store had a sale on a Meade Altazamath Retractor telescope, with computer control.
I am still trying to visualize this instrument.

Hard time visualizing it? Heck, this time of year my telescope retracts every time I go out to view the night sky. I'm not fond of Midwestern winters.

From my mother, I got exactly what I was expecting, mostly. I got T Is for Trespass--but it's a signed copy, which means Sue Grafton did a book signing in Pasadena some time in the last two weeks. I also got a toy rocket set from some friends, complete with tiny Apollo capsule, shuttle, Mars Rover, and Soyuz.

"It's not a toy, it's a model."
"That's not a model."
"Well, yeah, if it was a real fancy one, I couldn't separate the boosters and the external tank and stuff."
"You can't buy it and that's final."

Yeah, but at least he knows you can't see anything with hot air pouring out the open slit!
