Please, Need advice from all you photography buffs out there.

Looking to purchase either Lightroom or Photo Shop on software, please let me know which program is better & can I get it at STAPLES?


Personally I use GIMP, it is free and just as powerful as Photoshop.

This is what happens in Italy when you illegally park in a Disabled Parking space.
Don't you just Love Italians!

I see this all the time where I work, the cops refuse to do anything about it, claiming the parking lot is private property and they have no jurisdiction there. In the case of this video, I say POETIC JUSTICE, and needs to happen a lot more.

You should also state what your expectations are for a telescope. The words "Tasco" and "Excellent Optics" are usually never heard in the same sentence.

If the intent is to look around at the night sky a bit, then this might be OK. But is not easy to find dim objects in the sky manually. This scope is very manual and contains no Go To provisions.

There are two eyepieces. The 25mm will give you 36x. The image should be very acceptable at that power. The 12.mm will give you 72x. Usually with a scope like this, the 72x will not be as nice of an image as the 36x view. And for the stated 225x using the 3x Barlow, this is a marketing gimmick. The rule of thumb is that with excellent viewing conditions, the most magnification you can have from a telescope is approximately 50x per inch of objective or mirror. This scope has a 4.5" mirror, and 50 x 4.5 = 225. Right at the limit. But most of the time, seeing conditions are no where near this good, and the actual number is much lower, maybe as low as 30x. And that is with really good optics. With lower quality optics, that number is even lower.

As a teenager, I had a small scope like that. I do recall almost all my viewing was done with the lower power eyepiece. The image quality went downhill in a hurry at the higher power and I actually could see less detail. And later, I got my second mirror scope. It was as step up from 3" to 4.5", but it suffered all the same problems.

Also, a scope like this would not be suitable for use with a camera for several reasons:

1) The tripod would not support the extra weight
2) The lower quality optics would be very noticeable in any image taken.
3) At 900mm, without tracking, you would be limited to about 1/3 of a sec exposures.

thank you, I was thinking of moon shots with it, but if it can't support my T2i then it is useless.

Thanks for the joke PhotoNoob and keep in mind that along with feeding those 2 million prisoners you Canadiens would also be responsible for feeding, educating and providing medical assistance to 12 million or so i*****l a***ns. So maybe losing a quick war with you good folks up north would not be such a bad idea. :mrgreen:

Some gas stations post the cash price of gas. Others post the one price they pay, regardless of payment method. We have Quick Chek here, and they have their own payment card. That's the lowest price listed. Cash is higher, and CC is higher still. Our county politicians are trying to pass a law that would require more accurate listings.

I got gas yesterday at a local place - $3.25 became $3.32 when I inserted the CC. Since I save 5% using the CC, I still came out ahead. It is annoying, though. I usually buy my gas at Citgo. It's the cheapest around, and they have one price for all payment type.

I'm assuming these prices are dollars per gallon, I think those of us here, that live in Canada can beat all the U.S. prices. Where I live, Penhold, Alberta, about half way between Calgary and Edmonton, the price is , wait for it, LOL, $4.98 per gallon.
