What is the most useless Astro device you've come across?
With inspiration from another thread & a conversation I had with someone the other day, I thought I'd start a (hopefully) lighthearted thread about the most useless bit of Astronomy kit you have ever had the displeasure of purchasing or owning... Not everyone will agree with the opinion someone has on an item but, that's okay... we're all different & have different needs... so, what's useful for one is useless to another...
Would also be invaluable if you could briefly state why you thought it was useless & potentially, save others from spending hard earned on a potentially useless product... oh, & probably best we don't mention the brand publicly I spose...
Anyways, I'll get it rolling...
Straight through finderscopes... I have binned or onsold pretty much every single one that ever came with a scope I bought or whatever... Why: because I simply cannot contort my neck into the ridiculous positions necessary to actually be able to look squarely through one.. irrespective of what sort of mount I was using...
Anyways... hopefully a bit of fun... fire away... tell us what you found to be useless in your astronomy journey...
