Same here in MN. A bit better today, but the smoke isn't supposed to clean until Monday, then rain.
Not great for stargazing...

I have zero regrets about the Dwarf3. My biggest issue was the length of time to deliver and not great communication from Dwarf while I was waiting. I love this little scope. I can have it up and running in a few minutes, and it packs up so small. All thumbs up here!

Sorry for the delay in replying. I am not sure you will get a lot of advice in your decision here. There are a number of videos on YouTube that put these two scopes head-to-head I would check those out (if you haven't already).

I remember the monsters in Laurel and Hardy's Babes in Toyland scaring the fuck out of me as a little kid. Family friendly TV in the 4 channel days

Got this water bath + ultrasonic cleaner for $150 for my resin printer.
Sure no digital control, but I doubt that Thermo is really accurate to 0.1 C anyway I was shopping for some test tube vortexers today and was shocked at the prices.

A very good guy! We went to Washburn together and he (along with Mr. Stitzel) helped train us Juniors in on The Grist.

My company is going all in on AI to do all kinds of routine technical writing etc. I don't trust it for anything that might go in front of a regulator. There are some things it does well though. Like searches for repeat deviations and summaries of reports.

Used the built in sharpening and denoising in the D3 app for the first time. Worked better that the open source programs I have been using to date.
