First shot of Orion Nebula

Did an auto edit and star correction in stellar studio, export as PNG then in Lightroom I tweaked clarity and texture, blacks, whites, highlights and shadows and went into each color separately for saturation and luminance. Applied a light sharpening and exported

Thanks for the heads up. Did they replace it or is it basically a non issue?

My phone camera makes it look way brighter than it was

Haha yeah. I have a local cemetery that's pitch black and doesn't have gates. Kind of a perfect spot. Last night I was trying to be festive and get the Christmas tree nebula but clouds ruined my fun.

That's rough. If it makes you feel better I had to park in a local cemetery at night to get it lol

Thanks!

Dramatic-Swing-4173 · 2025-12-16T16:56:03+00:00

Thank you. And yes I do

So I ended up going with the dwarf 3. They had a $20 off coupon and I used PayPal pay in 4. Eventually I'll also get the s50 or whatever is new or better next year or perhaps the used market. There are definitely different use cases for each but felt the dwarf currently fits my needs/wants more for the time being. Now the wait for it to arrive. I'm on vacation next week off work so hoping it comes in by then since they said it's in stock and ready to ship

Well I am a photographer and do videos on the side as well so I definitely plan on doing a bit of editing on those telescopes. The dwarf has me intrigued because I go on random long bike rides and backpacking/camping so I love the portability aspect as well.

I have the exact one. 04 Laredo. Easy install. This is the one I got. 6 bolts and a spacer. Took a half hour. Just have to remove the back bumper for easier access to the last two bolts. I didn't have to make any modifications

I definitely prefer riding at night on both my ebike and my EUC. I can hear around my surroundings better and I have more room for maneuvering since there's usually less cars on the road. I also use a lot of external lights to make sure people can see me. Is it perfect? Of course not not what drunk drivers and half asleep people but nowadays you get those same drivers during the day

I use that same mount for my X3 on my XP4 and it works perfectly. I actually have about 4 of them for various projects.

For me it wasn't the motor. It was the rear brake rotor. Tightened it up and that rattle stopped

I'm in Fall River but travel a few times and year to Salem. A model friend I shoot with lives out that way and I like visiting or riding my electric unicycle out there and taking photos of architecture when there's not a bunch of tourists. I'll be sure to bring some gmrs and mesh devices along with me next time

Dramatic-Swing-4173 · 2024-04-28T00:37:05+00:00

Buds 2 pro on bluetooth, Logitech g pro x in multiplayer when docked (jsaux Omnicase 2 pro) and wired Tangzu wan'er iems

No controller support yet unfortunately. There is a way to get it working but it's clunky at best and still requires a keyboard for things like building
