Anyone on your Christmas gift list interested in telescopes? Well, it seems we have the place. At the website opticsplanet.com they have Meade telescopes, Galileo telescopes and so many others. Perhaps if the financial system really does burn up totally, there will be a super nova in the sky. Or perhaps a few comets will be set off by the remnants of the real estate bubble.
Optics Planet is also the sponsor of the Astronomical League, a network of over 200 astronomical societies throughout the United States. I have a friend I need to tell about this, since he has been building homemade telescopes for the last 20 years or so. An 8-inch Meade telescope is marked down from over $3,000 to only $1,999, and that includes the autoscan setup and software.
Other things you can purchase from this provider are microscopes, digital cameras, GPS devices and a whole lot more. For you folks who like to go off into the woods, there is also a lot of military and hunting gear, from flashlights to Jove knows what.
Oh, on the telescope thing, you can also purchase a 3 inch telescope for only $70, so you don't have to knock off your local savings and loan in order to buy some nice student a telescope. Anyway, with the mortgage collapse, your local bank may already be "withdrawn."
