Allegedly human, occasionally grumpy, seasoned cynic.
While they do not have the high resolution of a dedicated camera on a large telescope (with a good tracking mount, which you don't address) I would recommend the Seestar 50 (which I use) or the Seestar 30.
Very good results at a very good price...

Using 3 on IPhone 12 Mini
Coverage and service quality do not necessarily go hand-in-hand; I often get a good 4G or 5G signal, but the call quality and data speeds are appalling. Partner has similar issues on an IPhone 15 Pro Max, so not the phone.
(5G can be 4G in disguise, I know...)

If we had another referendum, this would not reflect the likely result, because the lies and deceit machine would start up again.
We don't *need* another referendum, but this government don't have the courage to go ahead and do it.
And would the EU have us back? I doubt it.

The concept of a USA that is cut off from the rest of the civilised world and virtually impossible to visit seems to crop up more and more in SF.

Good fucking riddance.
This way, the average IQ of the USA (which is apparently getting lower) will be reduced even more quickly.
I do feel sorry for my friends over there, though.

They just don't care. Religion is just a convenient political position that they think protects them.

I think this might have been so the driver could exit quickly to open the rear passenger door so that the passengers could leave as soon as the car stopped?
US Postal vans are also RHD so the driver/post-person gets out quickly and easily onto the sidewalk.

Interesting - the cars shown being driven by von Trapp and by the chasing Nazis at the end of "The Sound of Music" were also right-hand-drive, even though they were Mercedes-Benz.
I recall seeing old films where some cars in France were also RHD, as were many luxury cars in Europe.

I believe the authorities in Dubai are not keen on people shagging those they are not married to, so she might find all the lovely money dries up if he gets caught and ends up in jail.

Assholes like the odious Farage can afford it (well, they hope they can) but there is no way on Earth that most people in the UK could pay the premiums for full health-care.
It's not even as if taxes will drop radically if the NHS is killed off - the government will always have uses for taxes!
