I'm struggling to see how it work work Nick.

Surely this is considered an Astro purchase and as such it attracts clouds.

When you use it, a big hole in the clouds would appear giving you perfect views of the region of space you want to look at..... Again, it is scientifically proven that perfect views attract clouds.

It would appear that either buying this or attempting to use it would actually bring more clouds that it clears.

My suggestion if you want perfectly clear skies is to organise a family function or pull apart your optics for cleaning. That brings the most cloud free nights every time.

Having lived over there, I’m not convinced it works as advertised

Good luck getting that through Customs. You might be getting a visit from Border Force.

That joke has been around on their site for so long almost forever

They are a laugh, as is this on their site

What sort of batteries does it need?

[OICURMT]

Only 12 rounds included?

12 x Rounds of Zarkov nucleation particles

Can't find the cost for extra "Rounds of Zarkov nucleation particles"


I mean seriously... £199 for the gun and 12 rounds? Sounds like the deskjet scam where you get the printer really cheap and then get gouged for the ink...

Well done April Farkov. Join the queue. Two AA batteries . For non members of the Ming Dynasty.
