Either will need a tripod for longish viewing, but I'd try the 15s without to see if short term biewoing is viable at all, by bracing myself or the binocs. I have some light 15x70s and they can be handheld for short periods and longer if you steady your elbows on the roof of the car or something similar. I went in for the binoc tripod and it does work but also works against the freedom and quby Lew Zealand - Tips and Deals
Quote Same thing as your phone camera, the best binocs are the ones you have with you. Uh that's a bit of a stretch. Maybe some people keep some kit with them in case theres some astral-emergency or sudden event.. Tried to be pithy and failed. You can get binocs out and viewing in 10 seconds and they can be tossed in the car wherever you go. Anywhere. Even the easiest grab n go scopby Lew Zealand - Tips and Deals
We got normal people Gmail addys for the kids early on which they've been using throughout. If they want LazerShark420@gmail.com they're welcome to it but the older one now doing college applications has a respectable, useful address which is helpful.by Lew Zealand - Tips and Deals
When people want a telescope I always recommend using typical 10x50 binoculars at a reasonably dark sky a few time beforehand. Binocs are dead easy to use, point n shoot. You can see loads of things with them, just get a star map for finding things and have at it. I have 10x50s and 15x70s and the 10x50s win more because they're handheld.

Quoterich in distress Round two, my first attempts at coding were on this baby. But mostly I played snafu. I used to store large Sound Designer II files on DAT through an audio media II nubes card. It was like a modem call. All I see is RST CTL Shift and Space. Well, some of 1 Q A Z too. You are a damn good programmer to be limited to coding with those. I'll just assume snafu was theby Lew Zealand - Tips and Deals
Our first media to save documents onto was tape. Was it ever great when we got our first 5.25" floppy. I still have that very first disk, from Radio Shack and I asked the guy at the counter if it could be formatted to use in another computer. He was pretty sure it could be. So was I but we only found out when it worked, lol! My first thumb drive was likely an 8-16 MB Sandisk of someby Lew Zealand - Tips and Deals

QuotepRICE cUBE Typically you won't see dust spots unless you are taking pics at F11, F16, and up. Sometimes you might see it with large swaths of a single color. Cool, thanks for that! Yes I typically shoot no higher than F8 so that makes sense. And no I'm not going to go looking for it because I don't need another thing tickling the back of my head when shooting.by Lew Zealand - Tips and Deals
Not a Pro but pixel peep all the time and have been using a Canon T1i and T3i and never had a problem with sensor dust. I put off getting an interchangeable lens camera before then partially because of lens dust concern and that was entirely the wrong decision.

Sounds like there was no need for much CPU power as the iMacs were all dual core while the Mac Pro started with 4-8 core, which is great. The original Mac Pro wasn't "stuck for 7 years". Intro in 2006, upgraded CPU architecture, speed and/or core counts in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012. It was the trashcan 2013 MP that was stuck for 7 years.
