Theyre pretty cool but take some time learning how much pressure to use and how to open the valve properly. I also have dyes i can add. Less toxic fumes prolly. I was going to try using plastic primer paint to coat then use dye to see how it would look. Giving it a flatter matted or old age for old buildings and less fumes. Cobolt is pretty toxic shit and in most pigments in paint -

whats the average ratio of activity:inactivity of your average interests and hobbies.
for example, in your 47 years as an amateur asstronomer, how many hours out of those 47 years were spent actively pursuing asstronomy. -

I haven't kept count, what a dumb question. When I'm not doing one though I'm doing another, my time is always filled. -

lets determine how many dollar-per-star did you spend.
I primarily use a SCT not a refactor.
This model, Celestron Evolution 9.25
I've looked at TRILLIONS of stars...a quick look at the Andromeda Galaxy for example is looking at approx 1 trillion stars...and that's just 1 of billions of Galaxies.
My Evo 9.25 with all the accessories I have is about $4k...you can do the math of cost per star yourself. -

a blob of light isnt a trillion of stars. its just a blob of lights.
theres no way you could see a single, singular individual star in andromeda galaxy. or any other near distant gallaxies for that matter.
so, not a single star then. have you at least try to look at uranus.
