Depends what you mean Taz
In relation to Stevie's comment - do you mean a Self-loading rifle
Or you talking about a single-lens reflex (SLR) camera

I'm not sure on both counts BETTER looking half of the famous Twinlanders

Install both a telescope and a rifle. You could then have a spotter and a shooter! I'm sure there's some money to be made looking for the beast of Bodmin etc. The FL2 would be quite the car for abit of off road safari! Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

There have been predictions of spectacular cometary visits before, but all have disappointed, even the legendary Halley's Comet. Would be nice if this one puts on a bit of a show. 2013 RR Evoque Pure Tech

In about 1986/87, I paid good money to go up above the light pollution in an old plane (called a Comet) from Southend airport to see Halleys Comet. I was in a plane load of boffins who all Ooh'd and Ahh'd at the sight of it. All I saw was the reflection of my own face in the porthole window. T'was all !

Nasa say they are "amazed" that a small chunk of Comet Ison appears to have remained intact after its brush with the Sun
So we might still see it BETTER looking half of the famous Twinlanders
