A mountain would be very good for a telescope, and did you say that it can see 100 mm (meaning milimeters) into space? If so that is not a quality telescope. 
But what are those units (mm)? I'm not that big on star watching crap but it might be interesting. My dad gave me a telescope one christmas, I've really never used it though, but I didn't really want one either, although you may have just inspired me to whip it out and do some planet watching. I would go for the telescope right now, ge ta job and make money to pay for the 360 later. Since there aren't many games for the 360 now that are worth the buy. I have a 360 and all I do is play halo 2 and the occasional Fight Night Round 3 brawl althogh I played oblivion for awhile (80+ hours logged!). But there are some great games for 360 coming this fall, gears of war and half life two, and maybe halo 3 will come out early 2007. So I would still be doing some debating with myself if it were my decision.

I'm pretty sure it's pretty good, because some of the higher quality telescopes that cost around 1,000 dollars go to or above 100. I don't know what the unit of measurment is, though :\a mammoth wrote:A mountain would be very good for a telescope, and did you say that it can see 100 mm (meaning milimeters) into space?

I don't live in a city, I live near but all the mountains and hills block the light, the airplanes will be a factor, however they don't really fly at night.Cuda wrote:BUT since you live in such close proximity, you'll get thrown off by all them lights on the planes as blinking stars
When I was a young'un (lol) my brother got a telescope and it worked just fine (until I lost all the pieces to it cause I was a little noob
)I'm thinking more the 360 this year, telescope next year, or save money for the telescope because halo 3 comes out this year, and I don't want to be late for it like I was with Halo and Halo 2. I didn't get an Xbox until a year and a half after Halo 2 came out.

Lol, do you realize how long it would take to find a new star? Over the years I could watch over some hydrogen gas clouds and.... camp them (lol) until a sun is there, but that would take forever also.Patrickssj6 wrote:Maybe you find a new star...with new physics...then you sell the coordiantes for 100.000.000.000$ and then you have a Xbox360 + Telescope
