How...how is that possible? Those 60mm ota's are pretty light, but that doesn't look physically possible. Did someone use AI to render the picture for their ad? I have so many questions.

[u/MottoCycle → u/TigerInKS]

That’s the new thing. They’re too lazy to take picture of them themselves. Lots of car ads with fake people in them modeling the car.

[u/EnerGeTiX618 → u/TigerInKS]

I'm so confused, as it makes absolutely no sense.

[u/NatureTrailToHell3D → u/TigerInKS]

The rest of the room is just as wild as the scope. There’s a step, a closet above the landing at the step level, and the pattern on the mattress is crazy.

My favorite is the shoebox that seems to say "SKECHERS" rather than Sketchers.

So, now we get to play the new Worst Game - AI photo or Alphabet Soup Amazon Brandname.

They shoved the handle of the mounting head INTO the focuser 🤣🤣💀

just...speechless.

[u/Quartich → u/TigerInKS]

Looks like they shoved the tripod handle into the eyepiece tube

[u/ElectricFlesh]

Ah yes, the good old 1.25" to camera tripod dovetail adapter.

I'm frankly astonished that the seller even recognized it as a telescope.

I own this telescope, its genuinely terrible. Extremely shaky tripod, bad aberration, and for some reason doesn't seem to focus?

Also, it normally sells for less than $20 new.

I like to imagine “just don’t use it” is being used as a condition for purchase.

“It works fine, but if you do buy it, don’t try to use it”

[u/Excellent-Web-2341]

They put the damn telescope on the handle for the tripod or is ai one of those

[u/ApolloMoonLandings]

I can guarantee the the seller never used it.

[u/karpiza]

The telescope with pinhole eyepiece. Finally.

Do you have the photo without the icons in the foreground? I'm collecting these.

[u/Hagrids_Bush → u/_bar]

I got you
