Manned or robotic missions?

I think the only reason we needed space exploration in the first place was to create jobs. If we could just get all these "engineers" to pick fruit and vegetables we wouldn't even need a space program! and that would also help cure the immigration problem at the same time! grin

Looks like a good value! I really like that the tripod adapter is included. Thats a great feature! And if YOUR pleased with the optics then I am sure they are top flight! I guess I'll have to go back to work so I can get me one!

How to remove smoke odor from EP?

How do you remove cigarette smoke odor from a used ep?

I tried alcohol but some residual odor remains.

This is a ep destined for child-friendly, public observing nights, and completes a hard-to-find bino pair.

Thanks

Was the eyepiece kept in an ashtray? How much residual smell could there be? Maybe if you stored it for awhile with an equally strong but sweeter smelling material.
Or better yet send it to my house for a couple years until the stench wears off! grin
