@TelescopeHouse For what they are and what they accomplish the price is very fair. These are non-ED glass. Competing models using ED glass cost around 4000! A good compromise for wide-field deep sky observing under dark skies.

Blue collar intellectuals don't make many friends, perhaps owing to their demographic, or as may be, their remoteness to the larger communities.

An NPR investigation of Brain Balance reveals a company whose promises have resonated with parents averse to medication.

But the company appears to have overstated the scientific evidence in its messaging to families, @cbndrv reports. https://t.co/MJF6FIxuLv
