![]() ![]() Unlike with some of the NexStar 5SE’s competitors, this controller worked flawlessly in our tests, offering micro adjustments and responsive tracking with the attached controller system. Instead of fumbling to read star charts and align the telescope manually, with the press of a button you can align and focus your telescope on a myriad of celestial objects. ![]() The NexStar 5SE operates on a fully computerized system and gives you a handheld controller to guide it. And it provides sufficient power to introduce you to objects in the deep sky. This telescope has a primary 5-inch mirror-big enough for a light-gathering capacity that yields crisp images of some of the best objects in our solar system, from Saturn’s rings to Jupiter’s cloud bands. It has adjustable legs to make the viewing height more comfortable and a useful accessories tray, which helps to spread the tripod’s legs and lock them in position.The Celestron NexStar 5SE-our pick for the best amateur telescope-is a Schmidt-Cassegrain scope, which means it uses both lenses and mirrors in a relatively compact package. The aluminium tripod is a good match for the StarQuest 130P, as it is lightweight yet strong enough to support the telescope. They work well for this focal system and give pleasing views of a wide range of celestial targets, from lunar to planetary and brighter deep-sky favourites. Two basic eyepieces with rubber eyecups are supplied, a 25mm giving 26x magnification and a 10mm for a higher 65x magnification. They attach to the mount via a standard Vixen-style bar which is a fetching metallic green. The tube rings safely hold the telescope in place via locking bolts that can be slightly loosened to allow the tube to be rotated for a more comfortable viewing position. Sky-Watcher StarQuest 130P’s best features Tube rings It can also be configured in an altazimuth position, which is useful for viewing awkward to reach areas of the sky such as near the celestial pole, or for viewing landscapes during the day. (declination) settings, which were smooth and easy to use. The mount also has two slow-motion controls for fine tuning in both RA (right ascension) and dec. It uses Capstan-style locking knobs on both axes, which replace the more traditional side knobs and we found that after a little practice it became second nature to loosen these to make large-scale adjustments to the direction the scope is pointing. Just pop it onto the tripod, bolt it in place and then put the scope onto the Vixen-style head, and you are ready to go. This makes it easier to set up and use, especially as it comes as one unit ready assembled. Sky-Watcher StarQuest 130P Newtonian reflector’s mountĮquatorial mounts for ranges of smaller telescopes can often look a little clumsy, difficult to use and quite frankly old-fashioned, but the mount with the StarQuest 130P is an interesting, more compact and modern design. We also had a good view of Gamma ( γ ) Andromedae, which appeared as a tighter version of Albireo, and it was also a pleasing sight when we added our own 2x Barlow lens. The colours were well defined with gold and sky blue, and the components were clearly separated with dark space between them. ![]() We then viewed the wonderful double star Albireo (Beta ( β ) Cygni) in Cygnus, first with the 25mm eyepiece and then with the 10mm. Optically the system is classed as ‘fast’ at f/5, so we looked at Altair (Alpha ( α ) Aquilae) and noted how the star appeared from one side of the view to the other using the 25mm eyepiece.Īltair appeared as a good tight pinprick for 70% of the view, but then showed some distortion towards the field edges, which is on a par with many other scopes we have tested. We checked the collimation of the optics and found they were still aligned despite the transportation, so we went straight to work, late into the next clear night. The system only weighs 8kg and it’s easy to assemble, which means the StarQuest 130P is much more likely to get used than a more awkward setup, and less likely to get left in corner of a room without any action.

This creates a problem where the players know far far more than their characters would.īy replacing the Beholder Crime Lord with a new Xanathar (or swarm of Xanathars), I can make sure the players don't get caught trying to avoid metagame thinking (as far as they think they have to). But since Xanathar's Guide to Everything, Xanathar has become extremely well known amongst the play base, including his weakness regarding his "lifeline to sanity" Sylgar (if you don't know who Sylgar is then you are not a true fan of D&D (jk)). In the game, only Xanathar's most closely trusted minions know he is a Beholder. Thinking about it further, I think I would like to implement this into Waterdeep Dragon Heist. The thing that makes a swarm unique is that it is a swarm, and I would like to be able to emphasis this in the Beholder Hive. This is because I don't want to players to have to fight them one by one. ya swarm seems to be when there are an extreme number like 20+).Ĭonsidering your advice, I think that I'd actually make them Medium with appropriately altered Hit Points and Damage. I know that they do have individual minds, I just had in my head that they would be encountered together and also bees don't share a mind but they are still encountered as a swarm.īut ya I did want to do individual anyway (hmm. Oh and if circumstances are important, I am hoping to have a Beholder (or Beholder Hive) possibly take over as the next Xanathar in Waterdeep Dragon Heist (depending on how the campaign goes), or have the Beholder Hive a competitor for control of Waterdeep Dungeon of the Mad Mage Level 15 Obstacle Course if the characters kill Netherskull and Halastar decides to bring in a bunch of new Beholders to fight to be the guardian and have control of the level. ![]() Would their size and number of them (and thus overall power) be inversely correlated? (Ok maybe that was a bit confusing) Would they all have 10 eye stalks like a normal beholder or less like a Gazer? Would it be grouped like Swarms of ? Or would individuals get their own stat block and they function separately? (I prefer second option) So does anyone have any ideas for a Beholder Hive stat block? Such attempts end with Hive Mother Beholders. The problem is, a Beholder Hive has no stat block (of which I can find). ![]() Despite this I actually want to include a Beholder Hive without an original, just the hive on its own. The new smaller beholders co-exist with the original. But Volo's Guide to Monsters describes yet another form of Beholders: a Beholder Hive.Įssentially a Beholder can dream into existence a "hive" of smaller (nearly) identical "newborn" beholders (with 3 to 10 individuals). Within beholders, we have the Eye Tyrant and Solitary Beholder, both using the same stat block, Death Tyrant, and the Beholder Kin (Gazers and Spectators) get a stat block of their own. All such creatures have a stat block of sorts to allow me to run it in a campaign, including stat blocks for subclasses. I have a fascination with many creatures of D&D: Drow, Mind Flayers, Rust Monsters, Ankhegs, Beholders, Shambling Mounds, etc. At such a time, the beholder's dream-birthing creates a beholder hive - a group "newborns" that are identical to its own shape but smaller." ![]() Monstrous Compendium Vol 3: Minecraft Creatures ![]() ![]() During the first wave, some patients were assigned to codes A77.01 or A77 without an RT-PCR test due to a shortage of tests.

This is a retrospective observational study based on the database of the CoM. ![]() The comorbidities associated with patients with COVID-19 are well known, but have generally been obtained from patients with the most severe forms of the disease often requiring hospital admission. Also, the CoM recorded a cumulative incidence of 363.22 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the last 14 days, while Spain recorded 192.3, followed by Italy (122.2), Belgium (103), France (56.6) and UK (40) during the same period. Accumulated deaths at the time in the CoM (3,865) represented 42.7% of those registered in Spain (9,053). On March 31st, 2020, at the peak of the first pandemic wave, deaths per 100,000 inhabitants in the CoM were 57.7, tripling that of Spain (17.3), followed by Belgium (14.8), Italy (13.4), France (6.24), and UK (5.6).

The VPN extension also helps you expand on the capabilities of the desktop app.The internet landscape in 2018 is a complex one full of pitfalls. Windscribe is one of the best VPNs and a great free VPN for Windows, and it has a powerful Chrome browser extension. We selected the five best free VPNs for Chrome based on factors like security, privacy, speed and the ability to unblock streaming websites. A few exceptions exist to this general rule - read on to learn about your best VPN options to use with the Google Chrome browser. Most free VPNs you find online are insecure, and some might even infect your computer with malware. However, you’ll be limited to the refund period if you want to use the VPN extension for free. Paid VPNs are your best bet if you’re looking for a reliable service that’s secure, fast and can effectively bypass geoblocks. If you’re concerned about encryption - and you should be - you can either select a free or paid VPN. Proxies don’t encrypt your connection, but VPNs encrypt your connection, which ensures data security. While both can help access regionally blocked websites, they function very differently. VPNs and proxies are used to access geo-restricted websites. Let’s talk about how VPNs and proxies are different and why you should pick a VPN instead. Most VPN Chrome extensions act as proxies, but are far more reliable and faster than proxies. They can also unblock major streaming sites. Free VPNs are generally slow, but almost all VPN browser extensions we recommend below offer decent speeds. VPNs that slow down internet speeds can be painful to use. If you plan to use the VPN for streaming, you need to consider the speed and the VPN’s ability to bypass geoblocks. All the other apps on your computer still use the unprotected connection. When you connect to a server using an extension, it only encrypts Chrome’s internet traffic, unless you’re using a Chromebook. However, almost every VPN’s Chrome extension works like a proxy. Security and privacy are critical for all VPN users. ![]() These extensions are likely unsafe and might steal your data or infect your computer. Many VPN extensions use a premium service’s name, but are actually created by third-party developers. However, before you download a VPN extension for Chrome, check the “offered by” line under the extension’s name. Chrome ExtensionĪll VPNs on this list must have a VPN extension version for Chrome.

The Schöfferhofer brand originates from the brewery in Mainz, primarily producing classic heffe weissebier, they have recently started expanding their range to include fruit infused raddler style beers like the famed Schöfferhofer Grapefruit. In comparison with other products, this gives it a much more natural flavor profile compared to simply throwing a syrup flavor concentrate into the blend. In fact, the Juicy Pineapple is actually made with unfiltered German hefeweizen beer and 50% pineapple juice. Not Your Fathers Hard Root Beer Float served with Vanilla Ice Cream 11.50 Soda 8.50. A very non-traditional but undeniably tasty beer to. Also, I appreciate that unlike some of the low alcohol (2.5% ABV) "coolers" on the market, it doesn't have that malty aftertaste since this is a true weizen "wheat beer" instead of a "malt beverage" like most other similar products are. Schofferhofer Grapefruit is a refreshing 50/50 Hefeweizen and Grapefruit beer blend from Germany. Shortly after they introduced Pomegranate in 2018, Passion Fruit in 2021, and now Wild Cherry and Juicy Pineapple in 2022.įrom a taste perspective, it is enjoyable as a weizen beer that doesn't take itself too seriously and the fruit flavor tastes good as well. In 2007 they launched the world's first Hefeweizen grapefruit beer in 2007, a product that became popular in the United States after being introduced at the 2021 Epcot Food and Wine Festival. In fact, while it is much more fruit forward and more contemporary than other Weizen beers that we've enjoyed - the Schofferhofer story begins more than 500 years ago when the founder, Peter Schoffer became the first wheat beer to be brewed outside of Bavaria. Unlike many of the other products on the market, this is far from something that was just created recently to chase the hard seltzer market. Schofferhofer falls squarely in that later category with flavors that include Juicy Pineapple, Grapefruit, and Pomegranate. While I love my more technical beers I also sometimes just want to grab something tasty from the fridge that I can enjoy without feeling like I need to look up exactly where the hops came from. When it comes to fruit beers there's a clear separation between purists and folks who just like an ice cold and refreshing adult beverage. ![]() Since then, there has been no turning back.
