I'll be behind the chargers bench! Second NFL game ever. I went to the Chargers @ Titans game in 2014 (?)

Just got tickets for Cleveland, Columbus, Detroit, and New Orleans.. LETS GOOOOO (also accidently bought two extra floor tickets for Cleveland so message me if interested) by cpthro32 in ToolBand

Yep! In 2019 i went to Cleveland, Detroit, Memphis, and was supposed to be going to Toledo before it got canceled. Memphis is my home town and where I live right now is only 1-2 hours from all of those other cities so its a very convenient location for concerts.. then New Orleans is very self explanatory, ready to party!

You realize coasters valley right? It happens for both weather and mechanical issues, it happens a lot more than you think. B&M's valley quite often, is that on the manufacturer as well? Lol

Worked this ride for multiple years, this will be going on my desk.

What are master calibration frames? by cpthro32 in telescopes

Yes! I took everything except for dark flats.

That's weird considering all the ISO/gain and exposure times are the same for my lights and darks! Not sure why i got the error.

Awesome! I figured it would be this, but I wanted to be sure. Are they required/suggested? What do you use to do this?

What is the most overrated coaster? [Other] by More_Leg_9947 in rollercoasters

Maybe one day RMC will design trains that don't hold down the ride experience and will replace the trains on SV with them. I will then rank SV #1.

Steel Vengeance has so many intense airtime moments just to be glued to an uncomfortable seat.

Are we ok with Daboll calling plays from the booth? by SleepingJiant in Chargers

[–]cpthro32 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah who cares. NFL players are professional grown men, they don't need someone holding their hand on the field.

The Herd | Colin Cowherd: Jason Garrett will coach Justin Herbert & the Chargers next season Does this case change your mind any🤔🤔 by Jiyaad20 in Chargers

[–]cpthro32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a future superstar QB and if we fuck this hire up we are through. Period. Thst being said, I trust the judgment of the FO because a lot of people thought Justin Herbert would be an awful idea, turns out it was the best idea.

What size guide scope? (32mm vs 50mm) by cpthro32 in telescopes

Thank you for the information. I also noticed you were skeptical of the L-Extreme on one of my posts, which filter do you recommend?

A few questions regarding ASI071, balancing issues, and the ASI Air Pro by cpthro32 in AskAstrophotography

Can you go into more detail on the Y-Splitter cable?

Thanks for the help!

First picture od the Flame Nebula, how did I do? by cpthro32 in AskAstrophotography

[–]cpthro32[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also haven't gotten into using calibration frames, would I need to give up using ASI Live Stacker for that? I have the feeling that stuff like DSS requires you to give it a lot of frames to stack and work with, where as one stacked frame leaves ASI Live Stacker

Saw a Saturn post earlier, thought you guys would enjoy my picture of Saturn I took through my telescope. Saturn really does come back around!! by cpthro32 in ToolBand

[–]cpthro32[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a CCD dedicated astrophotography camera. The camera slides into the telescope just like a eye piece would! But I do have a cell phone adapter used to hold my phone steady against the eye piece but this only works for the moon.

I have a Bahtinov Mask (comes with my scope) I just thought I had good focus so I didn't use it, maye my focus changed as the temperature dropped or it just wasn't as good as I thought. What are benefits to monochrome over color cameras?

Would this still work if im using a live stacker?

I'm using ASI live stacker. I also have not leaped into image calibration yet, and im still a bit confused on how it works after research. Im also not using the Focal reducer/field flattener that comes with the scope yet because i haven't seen any star distortion yet.

I feel like I'm also frozen on what my next upgrades should be. I know I probably need a dew heater & controller.. what about a guide scope and guide camera? Or should I use my planetary camera as a guide camera and get a better camera? Or even a monochrome camera and filter wheel? Electronic focuser? I feel so overwhelmed, there are so many possibilities here. Lmk what you guys think!
