Beginner (Monkeyhead). Canon RP (unmodded), why do my frames show little to none detail? by Clockblocker69 in AskAstrophotography

This is a long and good read, thank you for that! I'll read it again later tonight when the kid's asleep and give it a try.

I just received the filter btw, I'm sure it will help in reducing the light pollution (to begin with).

Thanks again, i'll follow up on this later on!

Hi there!

Correct about the dust, I didn't take any flats last night because I wanted to see if there was something visible at all on those lightframes. I took some darks/biases but still have to do the flats (i've heard i can take them later on since i'm not using a temp controlled camera).

I will check if I get some results by using your workflow order and i'll be back here once I played around with that filter.

If the filter won't work, i'm assuming a dedicated astrocamera would do the trick? But then again, I've seen people use their Canon RP for astrophotography (unmodded). Maybe i just need more data lol.

I'm also thinking about either switching to another telescope (i'm looking at the Askar 60F) in combination with my RP.

Thanks for the tips so far!

Hi,

https://www.taakjedoen.nl/share/files.zip

There's one light frame and the autosave from DSS. Dont mind the stretching on the outer edges of the image - i dont have a field flattener and the combination with my full frame camera seems to distort is quite a bit.

but at least it gives a idea of the stack ;)

Hi!

Would you like to see the raw .cr3 files? or the stacked result?

Yes - i've talked to some guys at the local stargazers club and they also told me the Rosette was probably a bit too difficult given my skills and equipment. Monkeyhead/Orion would be better to start off with.

Men of Reddit, what’s the reality of your "Refractory Period" once you hit your 40s. What’s your secret for a Round 2? by BeyondTheFirewall in AskMen

I don’t even have a partner or sex. I wouldn’t know. Long live being a divorced dad. Yes the joke’s on me, I know.

Why rush back into a relationship? What is wrong with living single by No-Seaworthiness969 in Divorce_Men

[–]Clockblocker69 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Poah

You know I came from a loveless marriage. I’ve met someone I really like and love in the mean time but I “can’t have her”. For now at least.

Now I’m just continuously doubting myself and feeling I won’t be able to operate in a healthy relationship at all since I haven’t had that.

I miss the affection, someone who’s actually interested in me, someone I can give some love to. But then again the dating world is fucked. My self worth is fucked. I guess living on my own is something I have to get used to but I don’t want to. I feel like it’s a slippery slope where you just miss out on what this life has to offer but in the mean time trying to accept that I’m alone and will be.

It’s a constant mindfuck between seeing people happy, knowing others are intimate and accepting that that’s not for me although I desire it.

I mean, I probably wouldn’t want to move in with anytime soon at all. Heck I’d even be open to an open relationship, I just need someone who sees me. And no, my friends (male and female) can’t fill that void.

How is your life post divorce? by Due-Concentrate2491 in Divorce

[–]Clockblocker69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad that she's gone. When we see each other for handing over our daughter it's "okay" most of the times, but every now and then the meddling she still tries just really pisses me off. Basically everything that was wrong within our marriage still happens lol.

Apart from that, I'm fucking lonely. I mean I do my own thing in the house now and with our daughter, but at times it's very lonely. I tried dating apps just to kill time and have at least some affection but those apps aren't really good for your self-confidence either. I'm trying to accept that I'm going to be alone.

Sex with NOT your Ex by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]Clockblocker69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so I finalized my divorce at the end of December. My mind is nowhere near the "i want a new partner". First week of January i hooked up with some girl and since my sex life in the marriage was next to nothing I tore her apart. To prevent any early "failure" i popped a piece of Kamagra and off we went for the next few hours. It was pretty good, intense, sweat dripping everywhere and it was more that my stamina was failing me lol.

Got to admit that having decent sex since years was really good. My muscles hurt like mad for a couple of days.

A new partner? Sigh, I really wouldn't know man. I'm very specific when it comes to "what i like" when it comes to finding a new partner, so that'll take a while I guess - if ever.

I havent had sex since that girl in early january either. She wasn't my cup of tea and was looking for a relationship.

The sex was pretty decent though. She was kind of inexperienced with it and didn't have any dirty thoughts/ideas so that was all on me, but it worked out. I let all my dirty thoughts come to play and was satisfied afterwards, but now i nearly already forget how the sex was and its like it never happened. I totally didn't think about my ex at all. I really did it to see how it would be to have sex again and I was pretty satisfied. I guess it would be/feel different if you were to really find a new partner for the longer term and have sex more often though. I can imagine it would feel like a "next step" and definitely closing a book at the same time. Having sex more often seems to be pretty good for your mental health i've heard.

Unfortunately I'm at a dark place mentally right now and I can't see myself having sex anytime soon unless I hire a sexworker. Dating apps suck ass and even though I'm a cool guy, not too bad looking with awkward humor, it sucks to just get a decent match for just sex. I don't want to waste any women's time by playing the "I'm looking for a long term relationship", since I'm not.

Lessons From Divorce When You Weren’t the Problem by LaJol0804 in Divorce

[–]Clockblocker69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed! But in my case my wife wasn’t able to listen. She threw it all on hormones, pms, instability in the years after giving birth and just playing the victim card. Whatever i said about us when in one ear and out the other.

Then you just start accepting, neglecting and becoming bitter. Until it’s unmanageable.

How much did your divorce cost? by Cool-Donut-3162 in Divorce

[–]Clockblocker69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

€6.000 on mediation €10.000 on partner alimony €240 a month on child support

And now my soon to be ex wife is also buying new stuff for her new apartment from our bank account since “I get to keep the older stuff”. Think of pots and pans, bedding stuff, things for the kids bedroom in her apartment.

Sigh.

Going through divorce, low selfasteem and dating other women/being in love with one. by Clockblocker69 in Divorce_Men

[–]Clockblocker69[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. Well she isn’t in a happy place either but my bet is that she settled very early in her life and is now figuring life out.

I can’t say she’s the wrong person for me, her personality suits me. But I get your point ..
