You forgot the first rule of purchasing astronomical equipment - never buy from a department store

You need to find a specialised store, preferably one with several brands so you can compare the carpets, and choose the one that suits your purposes. While the Pakistani rugs are good for finding comets and asteroids, you need a big Persian one if you want to study nebulae and galaxies...

Oh, that explains why the CMB looks grainy in my WoolCo original bedroom carpeting. The resolution isn't high enough. I can barely make out any of the fluctuations at all, once I correct for the giant stain that represents the proper motion of the Earth.
