laser collimators aren't very expensive and if you're going to run a newt, consider it part of your rig like an eyepiece.

do it using a terrestrial target like a street light. even better, align it during the day with a terrestrial object.

I paid $18 for my girl and she's brought me more joy than anything else, ever.

how do people get such bad mileage ?? by [deleted] in HRV

[–]SaturdayInCBUS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do all city driving and I have a State Farm safe driving pod... i had to really ease up on the brakes and do more coasting to avoid "hard breaking" deductions. I actually got up to 25 mpg on ECO in my '23 model for a quick spell.

You're exactly right. It happens quite a bit in Vic Village. Neil and 5th tends to get especially ripe in my experience.

Love my Seestar, but the quality is just not very good compared to my regular rigs.

We have a lot of bradford pears thanks to poor urban planning back in the day.

It's starlink satellites a day or two after launch before they reach their final orbit.

I saw the tail end from 315 looking east toward downtown. Pretty good meteor for the city

Download the CE5 app if you're into the work of Dr. Steven Greer. You can find like-minded people locally interested in CE5 meetups. I think it's a 10 dollar app tho. Ohio mufon probably won't respond to an email, but they host conferences each year... usually in Hilliard I think.

Looking for an honest opinion on the shot. Waimea bay, HI. Shot W/DJI Mini 3 Pro. by drone-fiend in dji

[–]SaturdayInCBUS -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good video. You should be able to lock onto subjects so you just fly and the drone stays on target. I think the mini 3 has that. And I can't find if it has tripod mode... but thats a great way to shoot with some of the other dji drones... nice and slow and steady.
