Mirror Grinding Machine up for grabs

Hi all, I live in Denver and my dad is downsizing his house. As such he won't have a home for his mirror grinding machine. Does anyone have any recommendations for places to post it so some lucky soul gets a free mirror grinding machine? This is what it looks like, how it operates, etc. Only used once to make a 24" telescope mirror: http://www.mirror-o-matic.com/

Do you need a special lens to be able to see nebulas (nebulae?) Effectively?

Just wondering as I'm getting in to astronomy, just bought my first Telescope.

Telescope recommendations for a 13 year old

Hello! I have a 13 year old with aspbergers that has recently started showing a lot of interest in Astronomy. What kind of telescope would you all recommend for him? One that could connect to an app and camera would be great so he can track what he sees. Thanks so much in advance.

Free star map websites?

Hi, I'm looking to get a star map frame as a present, but al the websites I've checked charge for downloading the jpg file. I can print it myself so, is there any website to create and download the frame for free? Thanks in advance!

Friday on @AndersonCooper I vastly underestimated the wayward SpaceX rocket’s impact energy with the Moon. Using corrected numbers, the March 4th explosion will rival 20,000 sticks of dynamite. Easily visible to Aliens, or anyone else in space who can see the Moon’s far side.

Here are Saturn's rings in a new light. NASA's @CassiniSaturn spacecraft took this image of Saturn's C and B rings (from left to right) on June 30, 2004, using an Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph. https://t.co/sOudnJmhwI

T-35 minutes. SpaceX just confirmed propellant loading has begun on the Falcon 9 rocket at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Kerosene and liquid oxygen are now flowing into the Falcon 9 as it prepares to Italy’s COSMO-SkyMed satellite. https://t.co/C832PpxbqR https://t.co/NAoJSLeOxs
