Hello
My name is Ughubughughughughughghlug
Recently I became interested in optics, both telescopy (astronomy) and microscopy (microorganisms). I liked astronomy as a little kid and in college and I liked microorganisms as a little kid and have always been enchanted by the story of Antoine van Leeuwenhoek (imagine what it would have felt like to be the first man to discover life too small to see, basically discover a whole new ecosystem). But I also sucked at anything involving tools/experiments, had no patience for anything that wasn't reading or staring into a computer screen, and so ruined my life becoming a social science fag instead of a natural science chad.
Anyways, I got a telescope recently. Dianfan 900 mm aperture $200 piece of crap. Has four choices, 32 magnification, 80, and then 3x those with a Barlow lens, so for all practical purposes, 32 mag, 80 mag and 240 mag.
It's been very cloudy so I haven't been able to use it for any practical purpose, but tonight I was able to observe Zubelnegubi/Alpha Librae. Alpha Librae is my (power level) Zodiac sign. According to some gay ass website I pulled up, that means I should be a big dick masculine natural leader who finesses people. So the universe is playing a cruel joke on me. It also indicates something of my morally superior character, wise judgment. (I regularly have involuntary fantasies about being a dictator or secret policeman and terrorizing my enemies personal and political.)
Zubelnegubi is, in fact, a binary star. I have no photo 77 light years away, so one year before Space Korea broke out, and the same year the Space Transistor was invented. Supposedly each star is also a binary star itself, making this some insane quadruple system, but I couldn't tell. I'm guessing you need a really badass telescope to see that. On top of that, there's a fifth star made of different junk that hangs out around it, I guess implying it got sucked in. Giant star orgy. I couldn't tell with the naked eye, though there is something out there that I did see. Remember it because my Englishman astronomy professor had a story about how seeing it (without being told what it was, just "look at this star, tell me what you notice") meant I could qualify to be a royal archer in Merry England.
I could share a photo, but I won't, because it's a fucking star, they all look the same, I got this thing to look at the Moon, Phases of Venus, Jupiter and Saturn. I have a phone mount, but this piece of crap didn't come with the piece necessary to make it actually usable.
