r/telescopes and r/astrophotography are your friends.

Ironic how you’d be better off if you took your own advice huh

But then again your lack of reading skills is why we are here so I don’t have my hopes up 😞

You don't have the privileged position to be making such condescending comments, and you still don't seem to understand the context of my and another person's comments. You should work on your own reading comprehension because you still don't seem to get it.

I think it was kind of unclear how you meant that last paragraph in the context of the broader discussion, but clarification noted.

See how clear things are when you re-read things properly?

Someone mentioned using Ganymede as a gas station. Try and keep track. 👎

Nope that’s a good summary of what you did tho

In other words you put your foot in it and are now blustering to save face.

Not gonna bother taking time out of my day to try and teach a dullard to read GL

Only in your mind. This started with the utility of water on Ganymede for space exploration. Nobody said anything about "mining asteroids".

Doesn't matter what they were used for, they didn't magically produce water from vacuum. The hydrogen and oxygen were carried from Earth on the spacecraft.

So you've visited every rock in the Solar System and peformed a chemical analysis on it have you?

r/telescopes sticky post has a fantastic guide

You’re not Irish are you?

They’re literally not talking about that lol

The conversation is about getting water through chemical processes while mining asteroids

Try and keep up 👍

Is there another Michael Collins I should be familiar with?

BTW: Collins was not the first person to orbit the moon solo. The first was John W. Young

Before you spend the money on a decent starter telescope, pop over to Wally World, or maybe a sporting supply store and get a set of cheap (~25$) binoculars - pocket size or maybe a bit larger. It's a step up from naked eye viewing (and there's tons you can do with that) and will give you a good idea of what a full up scope can do for you. No sense spending more money than you have to, to get your foot in the door. Get a taste for how it works, and then you can make better choices.

Some resources to help you look at stuff:

Sky and Telescope

The Sky Live

Earth Sky

Sunrise/Sunset Calendars

Enjoy!
