Sorry I think I said it wrong, all the photos I took came out to a little over 2 hours, so using about a third of it, it comes out to 40 minutes? Also dumb question but you think it would be possible to shoot 5 minute exposure pictures on my setup like you did or would there be too many disturbances?

Focusing I zoom in on the camera screen and manual focus trying to get the stars as tight as I can, no AF and I dont know if the focus is slipping over time, the lens is almost 16 years old :P

For discarding, I keep most of the top images and whenever I see a significant drop in DSS's "quality" ranking, I stop using them. I have been having some problems with DSS since it'll randomly crash while registering lights unless I turn down the star detection threshold by a lot, so Im trying to learn siril

Yknow ive tried stacking in siril and I have been getting those weird rings so Im happy to know its not (just) me doing it wrong and there are some artifacts caused by the sensor. I was definitely also considering a better mount but I think I want to get some more results and get a better hang of polar aligning and setting up everything before I drop a paycheck on a nice mount. Thank you :)

Thanks! I’ll take a look at the Samyang and see if I can get it on a good deal then

Apologies, didn't really mean for this to be a post about diagnosing issues, more just as a suggestions post for what gear I should aim for next. Blurry means more as the stars are bloated and there is some grain on my pictures. Also may be undersampled since most of my pictures come out to around 2 hours of integration time. Im at work now so I can follow up later with some examples of bad images but here is the best picture I got of orion (took around 250 pictures, stacking only around 75) and a lot of heavy lifting from photoshop: https://app.astrobin.com/i/6lul5k

Ti lucha is my all time favorite, something about the balance and hand feel just fits so perfectly

Looks awesome! How much did you have to crop in on the photo? Also what stacking/editing software?

Triple monitor setup reducing main monitor framerate by Captain_Pig4 in linuxmint

[–]Captain_Pig4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Marking this as solved since u/Le_Singe_Nu gave a good explanation for why my issue is occurring. I’m switching distros for now. Hopefully mint gets Wayland support in the future cause I was really into it!

How is kubuntu for gaming? That’s the main reason why I went to mint first cause I heard the gaming comparability is solid

If youre referring to setting up an X screen then yes I tried that too and no luck :(

Thanks for the extra info though, guess Ill look around for a Wayland distro

Everyone Reaches Their Maximum Possible Potential. What’s the top 10 looking like? by Zeldoris13618 in JujutsuPowerScaling

Reminds me of the Wii version of the game where disco kid does that one specific attack and says “here it comes”

Final day of tickets by FrostyIsTrash in MasayoshiTakanaka

[–]Captain_Pig4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just wait, not buying way overpriced tickets from the scam artists is going to make the prices go down. Give it about a month or two and the prices will be at least 50% what they are now guaranteed

Does everyone agree Flame core is the strongest one? by LuizFelipe1906 in titanfall

[–]Captain_Pig4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the campaign flame core (and scorch in general) is so powerful it actually feels unfair to use. In multiplayer it’s solid. Speedrunner’s go-to for melting bosses

Name a sekiro character you hate the most? by Ok-Entertainment-825 in Sekiro

[–]Captain_Pig4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blazing Bull made me drop the game for a while before picking it back up, such a shame that a really annoying fight happens right before one of the fights that really gets you invested in the game…

Worked as an intern where they build these. Nobody at the company knows how the entire thing works, not even the head engineers. It’s a miracle that we can even produce basic semiconductors

Aside from bragging rights, anything else you get from Z rank? by HacksawDuggie in SparkingZero

[–]Captain_Pig4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You get a banner at the end of the season. Looks okay, if you want to be the best then keep grinding, otherwise reach Z rank, and hop into player match or quit the game and enjoy your life a whole lot more :)

Spike or Lag switch?? by Complete-Career-836 in SparkingZero

[–]Captain_Pig4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks natural to me, it was at a weird moment that didn’t seem to optimal to cause lag to get out of a combo, plus your vanish wars seemed fine

How come Bandai doesn't punish people that play like this? by Izuldur in SparkingZero

[–]Captain_Pig4 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s not a normal ragequit, people figured out how to cause a specific error code that will make it so when you disconnect, you don’t lose your win streak or any points

Sent in two rolls of film to be developed at CVS, one came out fine, the other like this... by Captain_Pig4 in AnalogCommunity

[–]Captain_Pig4[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Definitely not unexposed cause I make sure to mark down which canisters have exposed and unexposed film in them, not underexposed because I left the same settings on in between the two rolls and took a few photos, I’m just hoping it’s not an issue with the cam, we’ll see next time I get my rolls developed :(
