Poopy. So if you’re too poor to own a telescope (like me), then you’re outta luck.

So far it looks like we canucks have a majority.
Of course, the irony is that Celestron is owned by Synta, a Chinese company…

So if I put a Celestron barlow in my Meade LX-90, does that count?

Or what about snapping a shot at the end of a Celestron EP through the LX-90 with a TV Powermate?

The rules don’t say you need a Celestron telescope, but it somehow I don’t think the above configurations are what they had in mind.

I wish there was a contest for us non-fancy equipment owners so we could win some…and then we could enter Celestron contests.

Not that it would matter because I am also Canadian.

I have Celestron optics.
But I’m a resident of that faraway foreign land – Canada.
Sigh.

I don’t own Celestron equipment. That kinda kills the “no purchase necessary” part for me.
