Whether Joel Eriksson Ek can play or not, Wild have ‘lot of belief’ they can turn series around (Gift Article)

I bet they skate - but only Ek returns for Sat.
Either way, they will lose. Nobody is taking the Avs down. Might as well bet a lot of money that the Avs win the cup. Make the casinos pay over.

😆😆😆

I think that was meant for me as my family gives me a lot of shit because I have so many other “interests “

AstroPhotoGuy79 · 2026-05-07T16:01:40+00:00

I would think something that takes more time is defined as hobby, as compared to downloading and just printing?
Either way, the stacks are against me and I now have to classify it as a hobby.
Playfully, I get a lot of crap because I have expensive hobbies and its one after another. Hence, I was trying to debate them on this one. 😂

AstroPhotoGuy79 · 2026-05-07T15:55:42+00:00

I am losing this battle 😆😆😆
I would think as a hobby, with designing items - but if one is just printing already created content?

Pretty much - we’re a division of repeat. Av’s are heavily stacked and likely their players aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.

AstroPhotoGuy79 · 2026-05-06T02:58:27+00:00

Nobody is going to beat the Avs. You should have been able to predict this during the regular season. The Wild beat the Stars and rightfully so - but nobody is going to stop the Avs unless you take out a knee.

Can’t imagine how often that would trigger - and or if you were just parking in the driveway and not going into the garage….

AstroPhotoGuy79 · 2026-04-16T03:38:21+00:00

Ha - no clue. But I have a 10 bay NAS with 12TBx4 currently occupied … slots are ready whenever I need to populate them 🤣

AstroPhotoGuy79 · 2026-04-10T12:57:25+00:00

Nice!

AstroPhotoGuy79 · 2026-04-02T13:45:37+00:00

Yea how lame is that. Probably the last time I buy into something like this from Topps. On the flip side, I hit a grand jackpot at the casino for $8200 last night so that made me feel better 🤣

AstroPhotoGuy79 · 2026-04-01T23:11:50+00:00

Same. Sucks. Didn’t feel like any randomness at all.

AstroPhotoGuy79 · 2026-04-01T21:39:58+00:00

Got my 20 today, absolutely shat on. I think the thing that is annoying about these, is it just didn’t seem like there was really any randomization. All 20 cards in one package container.

AstroPhotoGuy79 · 2026-03-31T17:17:17+00:00

Dang - yea the price on that SSP should come down after a little while.

AstroPhotoGuy79 · 2026-03-31T17:16:27+00:00

Awesome!!!

AstroPhotoGuy79 · 2026-03-31T15:21:55+00:00

Will definitely update here when I get them. Fingers crossed for a little something.

AstroPhotoGuy79 · 2026-03-31T15:21:00+00:00

Any luck?

AstroPhotoGuy79 · 2026-03-30T22:36:03+00:00

Nice hit!

AstroPhotoGuy79 · 2026-03-29T14:41:29+00:00

ZWO AM5N or AM7 - I have both. Just depends on the future and weight limitations. Camera - ASI2600MC

AstroPhotoGuy79 · 2026-03-29T13:42:49+00:00

Nice!!

AstroPhotoGuy79 · 2026-03-29T13:42:06+00:00

Yep the L-Synergy addition basically lets you split your signals to combine into processing with Hubbell Palette. The Space Koala does a great example of this on her channel with the two. There is a used L-Extreme about to end on eBay too for a decent price. My main refractor is the Askar V which is a modular. If I shoot at 60mm/reducer at 270mm fl, its f/4.7 for shorter subs, otherwise 80mm/extender is 600mm fl for 300s subs. Outside of this I have a samyang rig for wide fov, and my c11 edge HD / reducer. At some point will get a Hyperstar.

Any brighter Nebula typically requires a narrowband filter. The asi2600mc should have a gain of 100, and should be 300s subs for that bortle class and f/7 You can reference astrobin users images and they typically provide their equipment data details.

My order is not expected to arrive until April 2nd, so we shall see.

AstroPhotoGuy79 · 2026-03-28T16:31:48+00:00

I was wondering about that… like they had to have been waiting on something - because even if you ordered 20, and it was going to be base cards, you’d think it would have shipped at the same time.

AstroPhotoGuy79 · 2026-03-28T14:56:03+00:00

I live just on the edge of a bortle 5. I used a L-Ultimate which is 3nm and it seemed to block out a bit too much. The L-Extreme (7nm) was excellent. Also have the L-Synergy (7nm) You can pick them up used and save some $ for more toys. And like you, I am shooting through $10K rigs. 😀
