You look into a reflection with your own head blocking the Sun and can see atmospheric phenomena such as "Sun dogs" which are rings around the sun depending on what is going on in the atmosphere at the time. The roadster is also great for watching metor showers with it's heated seats etc. Just proves how useful a Crossfire is for astronomy as well as wildlife observing

I saw those big shiny ***** too, and I thought about getting one for panoramic photography. They seemed a bit too uneven for that.
