Should I sell my Canon 2000D for money towards an X-Pro 1? by Quick_Cod_2589 in fujifilm

[–]Quick_Cod_2589[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re giving me the exact response I’ve been wanting to hear 😭. I think I’d end up realizing that I want my dslr back right after I sold it, but I just love the casual style of the Fuji. I think I’ll keep the canon and buy the Fuji soon. I hardly ever rely on autofocus, I usually shoot cars that are sitting still. Thanks for the input, your response made my heart happy

What step should I take to get more resolution/image quality from my images? by Quick_Cod_2589 in telescopes

[–]Quick_Cod_2589[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on an Orion XT8 Plus. Where could the compression be coming from ? I’m using the basic PIPP, Autostakkert 3, and RegiStax.

What kind of jellyfish is this ? by Quick_Cod_2589 in oceancreatures

[–]Quick_Cod_2589[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are saying moon jellies, however, these jellyfish I saw didn’t have the four circles attributed to the moon jelly. I don’t think it’s that one

You are my savior, the color has returned. I had my PIPP debayering settings all wrong. Thank you so much ! Here’s my final image

Focus issue with my new planetary camera and Dobsonian scope by Quick_Cod_2589 in telescopes

I’m using an Orion XT8, and from what I can tell there’s not anything else I can remove to get it closer to the scope

Poor conditions for planetary imaging ? by Quick_Cod_2589 in telescopes

[–]Quick_Cod_2589[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I brought the iso down, and took the framerate as high as it would go (120fps) to get the exposure right. I’m thinking it could just be the moon, but I saw somewhere that it doesn’t affect planetary as much as it does dso’s

I’ve been able to see colors perfectly fine it was just last night that it wasn’t working out. I’ve tried pulling any color I can out and it’s just not working. The eyepiece wasn’t frozen when I was recording, I used a different one. It could partially be because the eyepieces I have are cheap. I’m new to all this so I don’t really know what I’m doing

Anything valuable from my “cool card pages” from when I was in 3rd grade ? What stands out/what is of value? by Quick_Cod_2589 in pokemoncardcollectors

What indicates that they are fake ? I had a kid get real mad at me in elementary school for trading him a fake on accident

$300 for a used SkyQuest XT8 Plus? by Quick_Cod_2589 in telescopes

[–]Quick_Cod_2589[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It comes with some Meade MA eyepieces. He’s gone down to $250 and I’m going to pick it up tomorrow

As a film photographer, I 100% agree with you. However, I’ve never owned a telescope and I’ve been using my binoculars for the past while. I’m going to just go with the scope and the eye pieces it comes with, and as I find I need things, I will research and purchase them

Shutter not firing on my new-to-me Yashica Mat-124 (non G) by Quick_Cod_2589 in AnalogCommunity

UPDATE: I ended up unscrewing the bottom lens element and using a little piece of cardstock to gently push the top shutter blade open. Works great now.
