I bought a second hand, very, very cheap (~25eur) telescope, and for the price it gives me a lot of fun. I'm now thinking of getting better eyepieces.
The only problem is that I am left eyed, and so using the finder scope is a bit of a pain.
Yeah, I have this weird condition that I am right legged, right handed, but left eyed.
I was once at a shooting range and fired a few rounds from an air gun, and that was awkward to hold it and im properly.
if I ever get a rifle it will be a problem, I'll probably use it like a left handed person would?
And in the current political situation, those may not be only theoretical musings.
This thread got dark quickly.
Anyway, looking at the Moon was fun!
@stfn@fosstodon.orgI just saw Venus as a very sharp crescent, how cool is that!
@stfn Time watching the skies is well spent :) Btw, never really thought about a preferred eye, is that a thing? 
Now I have to think about it the next time I use my scope :D
@chrizzly_astrophotography yep, people have dominant eyes as they have dominant hands :) When you look through a camera viewfinder, or a telescope lens, or even through a small you hole, you must probably have a preffered eye
@stfn Now that you mentioned the viewfinder of a camera, it clicked for me and I clearly see how I have a dominant eye (its my right eye). For telescope viewing I always tried both eyes if I can see more details with one or the other :D
@chrizzly_astrophotography and is there a difference for you in detail when using one eye or another? interesting!
@stfn yeah but just very minor-ish, probably had more to do with that one eye was more strained or better adapted to the darkness I think
