@the_space_koala I have a better idea - why don't you walk the people you are 'influencing' through WHY its a GOOD IDEA to start pointing their hard earned equipment at the Sun. Please walk us all through this. Plus you get to make more money.
@the_space_koala and yes I do know this is an 'in joke' but not everybody works for Rothschilds and "Do not try this at home" is more or less an invite to kids who are not in on your joke.
@the_space_koala Lol, I was thinking along the lines of removing the mirror and holding it by hand. I played with mine one day after cleaning it, started burning into wood on my deck in a couple seconds. Would not want to make a mistake handling it in direct sunlight tho.

You are funny.
Nice one
Again, nerdy asf. But same thing Id do with lasers... 😅 Clever.
The mirror from a 10" newt works faster.
If it’s a fast one you’re risking damage to the secondary though

This reminds me of the ladders meme😅
Who uses matches these days? There are like 10,000 different designs for lighters and many other ways to accomplish this task.
Indeed I use a telescope now
@the_space_koala But like all "renewable" energy it is terribly intermittent. Especially in Northern Europe.
press harder.
Safety matches. So safe, they wont strike.
I prefer wetting them first for extra safety

Who builds a fire like that??? 🤣
Hey it works 😁
@the_space_koala 🤣 fair enough
Needs a fire, but outside the sun is shining like summertime?
Well the sun also shines in the winter 🙂 but it gets cold in the mountains
I thought you were going to do that and you did
All this technology for a magnifying glass
