Thank you. I think it’s small in the sky and quite difficult to see. I used a star finder app on the phone; starting at 200mm until I found it then zoomed in and took some test shots at 600mm until it was in the frame. It’s still kind of a fuzzy blur in the frame. Then set it to take the images and it’s only once you stack the images and then stretch that the details really come out. It’s really great fun from start to finish. (My first edits were dreadful; learnt a lot through a discord forum on how to do the processing)

Yes, I had dabbled a bit with astro photography with wide angle lenses and thought the zoom might be too heavy for the mount. Used a Sky Adventurer 2 tracker and had to use an additional weight to balance the lens.

Really happy with the way it turned out.

Sexy Beast - fantastic film; one of the best opening scenes put to film. It has everything from fantastic acting, great story, great music and just an all round enjoyable film.

Germany calling. Shot internet here. On my village (close to Ulm) telecom will give you a maximum 16mb dsl which in reality is around 8 down for 40€ a month.

Installed Starlink and get 150 to 250 down and 30 up for 65 a month.

I wonder how many injuries were caused. That stepping stone game must have broken it’s fair share of shins and teeth…

At work we had lots of old laptops, poor battery life, small hard drives, etc. I cleaned them up and installed pfsense on them and gave them to colleagues as home firewall/kid web filters. Others we popped xp on them and set up mame / emulator to give to their kids.

I use these guys. Been using them for a few years on and off and have friends using the service too:

Private IPTV

Link is my referral code as it will give you some time free I believe and I get a referral bonus.

Currently live in Portugal and the rail network sucks. Talk of a high speed link through Spain but Spain doesn’t want to play ball. Central Europe has great rail but move to the edges and it’s absolute ass. (Have lived in Germany and France where the situation is much better)

Did the same. 12 year account with posts and comments for a wide variety of subs. Used Nuke Reddit History add on which edits the comments and then deletes them. I started it a week ago and each day run it again for the posts it missed. Will delete the account on 1st July. No Regrets..

Many many thanks for this. Got up and running in no time. Loving the communities and the lack of toxicity in the posts and comments. What a breath of fresh air!

Just needs traction and more users. Doing my bit posting and getting involved in the discussions. Really scratches that Reddit itch without the dirty feeling that I am supporting some wanker CEO.

This makes sense. There’s too many streaming services which leads people to piracy. Reducing the number will drive people to the one platform. If you make it easy for people to obtain content the rights holder will get paid.
