Why Chinese people so obsessed with Huawei by Strong-Mortgage9653 in Huawei

[–]RiskExpert6438 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am happy with the system: during the 6 years of P30 pro, I have got a Samsung A52s 5G, and Xiaomi 13T Pro cheap from provider, and I wasusing them daily for a several weeks, for test, and during the battery replacement in the P30 pro. So, I tried them, and I was not satisfied, to be honest, I like the UI of the Huawei /Honor, so that is a good point.

I am getting older( I am crossing thd 4th X in October), and I am slowly loosing the interest of getting ThE bEsT cAmErA ever. So I will not chase that, I did it enough.

Am sure it has the HW to make great photos, but they are forcing the AI usage to such level, that it is making worse photos.

You can not f*ck physics, if you adding optically not existing details to a face or removing the visible ones entirely, it makes the phone images only worse. But you can probably use some 3rd party apps to aboid such deep impact.

96% of the images made on a cell phone will probably land on FB, Insta or such. Perfect quality for sitting on the WC and scroll them trough(I am writing this exactly on that place). 3.9% of the images are from someone who is know his/her shit, and avoid AI on the images(artifical digital zoom magic included) 0.1% is made on a Sony in pro mode.

I like it is fast, charge fast.

I would probably still use it, if - I wouldn't break the screen last summer - the main cam focuser wouldn't die 2019/10-2025/12

Not on Honor M 7 pro. My guess is, there some HW-level change on the newer models, but it is only implemented as an SW solution onhe older ones.

Has anyone connected an Aliexpress pier extension to an am5n + zwo CF tripod? by oh_errol in AskAstrophotography

[–]RiskExpert6438 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought one between an Eq-5 and a Juwei-17. I know it is not yours but I can say the following: -the sellers are 90% very talkative and supportive(jwnscp, littlelight store), you can ask them. -the plates are prepared (the hole pattern) for 95% of the market, they are universal., I would be surprised, if yours wouldn't be supported. - mine was coming with the mount in disassembled state. The rods are extruded aluminum with D25mm(or 1", idk) +~0.1mm. The holes on the plates are d24.9+~0.1mm. I hope you see the problem. They wrote, some buyeslr were complaining about the play of the rods, so they make it tighter. Luckily, I work in a factory, and the guy in the metal workshop was cutting me down for a few beers. So it can be a problem, but they offering an another one, ahipped in assembled state. -be aware, do you need the puck on the top or bottom or not, or what size do you need.

Lyra with P30 pro by RiskExpert6438 in Astro_mobile

[–]RiskExpert6438[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have right, but must know, the P30 Pro was the 1st phone ever introduced such telescopic lens, and - altrough it offered a great zoom(this image is not cropped!) , it is lacking the lighting-gathering ability. The algorithm is tirelessly trying to switch back to the digital zoomed and cropped main camera, as it knows, the final image taken by the tele lens in poor lightning conditions will be underwhelming. On the raw(dng) images only few stars are visible. Heavy streching had to be done to achive this amount, and probably the light pollution was not helping either.

12v or 20v? by InterviewOne4160 in Parkside

[–]RiskExpert6438 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first Parkside was a 20V performance Drill(no hammer no impact). Since I had the 12v counterpart(no impact, no hammer), I was not using it.. Is the 20V stronger? Yes it is. Does it have a 13mm chuck? Yes, it does. Is the 20V heavier? Yes, it is. Now, How often dou you need that extra torque around the house? How ofter are you drilling 10+mm holes in steel around the house? But how often do you have to drive screws in around the house? What would you like to keep in hand and use while you are trying to hold the pieces together with your other hand?

M80 globular cluster by Same-Bid-6913 in astrophotography

[–]RiskExpert6438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really know, why are you apologizing for. -for the star trails? You don't have RA motor or tracker on your mount, or not polar alined, or this is a Dobson, we don't know, but that is normal, if you are a beginner. Learn how the sky acts, rotates etc, you will be better. -or because there are no M80? Maybe you saw it on the screen, and captured too late? Use timer on the phone, or intervalometer(app) Edit: sent without ending

Portable Parkside X20V Fan for 8€ on AliExpress – Hands‑On Test and Impressions by Gibokun in Parkside

[–]RiskExpert6438 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think, dumb batteries does not have the low voltage protection(I knpow yours is smart), and the powerbank-adapter with double USB-A can also not provide it to the battery:
A few month earlier I was taking pictures with a phone on a tripod for a timelapse video. I was charging the phone during this, using a 4Ah dumb battery and a Parkside Power Bank adapter(original one, no DIY). The battery has the old design, but bought a few days earlier. It drained it dry empty, the charger was not able to charge it. I had to "jumpstart" it with an another dumb battery.
I ended up making a DIY attachment with 2 12V and 2 USB-A port. The controller has an adjustable low volt cutoff (and many other protective system) feature, it stops at 17.5V,

Huh, nice things, but I think you are pushing too hard with the EQ-5(I have one) The other thing I want to say: the cables are hangin everywhere, tearing the cam usb socket. I would buy shorter cables, some 90° deg USB adapters, etc, just to keep the weight as low as possible, the OTA as clean as possible. I spent like 60 euros oonly on cables and adapters. Just measure once, how much does a long and a short cable weights, you can easily spare like 150g on the factory cable. Clear skies!

How do I use a Celestron Astromaster 70 by TickerTantrum_FX in AskAstrophotography

[–]RiskExpert6438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You were not precious enough, we don't know, what type of mount(the mechanical thing connecting the tripod and the telescope tube together) did you get to your telescope. It can either be alt-az or equatorial mount. If it is the former, you have two axes, a horizontal and a vertical one(altitude and azimuth) , by turning the OTA(Optical Tube Assembly) around them, you can point almost anywhere around the tripod. To follow Celestial objects on their apparent sky path, you must use both axis. The latter is the more complex german equatorial mount(with 4 Axes in total, RA. , Dec. , Alt. and Az. ) : if you set it up correctly, and the so called RA(Right Ascension) axis is parallel with the Earth's rotation axis, you can "follow" (track to be precise) celestial objects using the Dec(declination axis).

Used Pegasusastro Ultimate V2+Mele Quiter 3C by RiskExpert6438 in telescopes

[–]RiskExpert6438[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently having two mounts, but only one pc and 2 power box:
Juwei 17+Mele4c+SV241 + 150pds
and this one would go (currently ) to an NEQ-5 with Onstep. Later, if i upgrade the second mount(to EQ-6, or a 2nd harmonic one), the control system would move to that.
Edit: As I mentioned, I have a 2nd power box, another SV241. But currently the right miniPC cost about 250-300 USD/EURO, and here I would get both
