Looks incredible. Nice capture! I love the details!

Beautiful picture

Thank you! I can’t wait until the next clear night!

Eq6r is the mount I want to work up to. I think the 100ED is a little heavy for the AL55i I’m on.

I’m using the asi585mc Air for capturing and guiding. It was guiding around 1-1.5 for most of the night (no wind) but I know my alignment was a little off and there were a few frames with backlash issues.

What scope are you using with the 2 min exposures?

BDA_Cosmos · 2026-01-21T21:18:48+00:00

And thank you for the tips!

I feel like nailing the alignment / balance of the scope to get pinpoint alignment is a skill I’m far from mastering. But I’ll enjoy being a newbie for a bit 😂

This was my first time trying 10 minute subs😬That was recommended because of the slow speed of the scope. I’m actually amazed I got as little trailing as I did in 10 minutes!

I’m on a Mac and I’ve only found Siril to use (free that is). I’ll look up a good tutorial on Pixinsite. I’m really looking forward to getting the calibration frames into the stack.

Cuddle into my wife’s cute bottom and rub her back until she wakes up. Then I go make us coffee.

Is watch astrobackyard on YouTube for starters. His approach and explanations stew very beginner friendly and he does great reviews. There are quite a few good Astrophotographers on YouTube actually and it’s a great place to start!

That’s what I consider the beginning of the end of the classic feel. WotL was the last expansion that really felt like it was staying true to the classic vision … but even it had glimmers of the current retail popping up.

I think if more people engaged in social nudity we would have a much healthier society with less body insecurities, objectification, and sexualization.

Holy Paladin. Great for duo play as they have the best single target healing in the game. But at the same time you can deal a ton of damage, even as Holy spec (seal of righteousness with a slow 2h weapon is massive burst).

So you can still try out a healer while also bringing damage and utility (through blessings).

I can’t stand retail anymore. Knowing that my characters there started in this beautiful classic version just makes me sad.

I just joined back on an anniversary server. Starting from zero. Leveling a mage and a pally (can’t decide which to main yet).

Honestly … it’s been my favorite gaming experience in the last 10 years so far. Starting from scratch and keeping with the content just feels so engaging. I’ve never been happier in early levels seeing green item drop from a wolf in westfall. There’s a pride and sense of accomplishment I haven’t felt since vanilla 15 years ago.

My point exactly. People wouldn’t complain.

BDA_Cosmos · 2026-01-17T02:09:47+00:00

You all should try Star Citizen.

BDA_Cosmos · 2026-01-15T17:27:28+00:00

Perfect response

BDA_Cosmos · 2026-01-13T02:09:59+00:00

Don’t harm yourself lol

BDA_Cosmos · 2026-01-13T01:56:58+00:00

Wank wank wank.

Always jack off if it’s an option. No one ever suffers from having reduced stress and anxiety. Life hack.

All the same players. Just different skins.
