NASA Moon Miner Game

Cost: £9.99 (approx. $13.75)

From: thumbsup.com

1 Do you think you have what it takes to mine the surface of the Moon while keeping your astronaut safe and making sure your opponents don’t receive a bigger haul of the lunar bounty than you? If so, this suspense strategy game is for you. The integrity of the lunar surface is compromised with every lunar rock you mine. Will you choose to play it safe and go for the non-integral pieces, or be a mining maverick and go for the structurally important pieces and hope that it’s your opponent that suffers the consequences of your risky behaviour? The game is suitable for two to four players ages five and up.

For observing

Sky-Watcher 9x50 Right-Angled Erecting Finderscope

Cost: £75 (approx. $103.10)

From: firstlightoptics.com

2 This is the finderscope your neck and back have been looking for. The practical design not only permits a more comfortable viewing experience, but also provides an upright image with corrected left-right image orientation. The 50mm aperture results in a good light-gathering capacity, with a 45-degree field of view and crosshair reticle for aiding navigation. The quick-release finder-mounting bracket fits most standard finder shoes from brands such as Celestron, Sky-Watcher and Vixen.
