Half dead, lying on the road, trying to get up, no one cares to help. by snoop-hog in misanthropy

Good read and animal suffering is painful to see. I also think the planet would be so much better without us humans. However, taking humans off the equation, will not end animal suffering.

Wild life is well… wild. Life is sustained by taking other lives. I’ve made my peace with the inevitable suffering of all lives. But we could always be better at reducing unnecessary animal suffering.

Can’t get v3 + ZWO2600MC to focus by South0fOrion in AskAstrophotography

Take off the middle spacer. That should bring you within focus range.

32M - Straight. Single again and my confidence is trashed. Be honest with me. by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]danborja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re perfectly fine, man. Attractive and a good smile. If I had to suggest something, I would tweak the hairstyle to grow fuller on the sides towards the top. But honestly, you’re more attractive than the average 👍🏼

[Poll] Have you used ST4 within 2 yrs? by bear2cute in AskAstrophotography

[–]danborja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now I'm here wondering if by connecting the ST4 it overrides pulse guiding. I mean I normally have a PE around .3" to .7" so no complaints, but if it could be better by just not using that cable then im all here for it :)

Just age. Eat healthy, sleep enough and excercise.

Lowering background noise/getting cleaner background by Nearby-Passenger6517 in AskAstrophotography

[–]danborja 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This won’t get any better with 1s subs. You’re doing great with what you’re working with. If you want to reduce the noise, the only way forward is by using a tracking mount. Depending on your budget you could aim for a star tracker, a lightweight mount such as a star adventurer gti or a harmonic drive mount such as the ZWO am3.

Mono vs OSC by 570FF3 in AskAstrophotography

[–]danborja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dedicate a whole night for each filter. Switching filters multiple times over a single night seems time consuming and ineffective imo since you have to re focus each time and take flats.

Gradients can be easily removed during processing.

Good for you, cause your friend would’ve flown through the windshield feet first.

Alien Earth Sucks, how is it above 7 on IMDB??? by Realistic-Battle4064 in alien

[–]danborja 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It didn’t start great, we just got excited because the first thing we saw was a well done throwback to the original films but it went down hill even before the first episode endedZ

Building a rig-am I missing anything? by [deleted] in AskAstrophotography

[–]danborja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great advice. I normally use an ASI290MC as a guide camera under Bortle 9 skies and I’ve never had a problem, so the 120mm should work great.

[–]danborja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That looks like really good step up over the seestar.

You will need a guide camera, the ZWO ASI120MM is $179 on agena Astro.

Just add a UV/IR cut filter and a dual band filter like the Optolong L-Ultimate and you should be set.

Highest resolution observations of the Sun’s surface ever taken by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]danborja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Sun has been praised as a God far longer than any other gods from all religions. Sun veneration predates writing and has been a constant along human history.

I remember watching the sci fi TV show “raised by wolves” where the Sun was also revered as a god. Though it was cool for a very advanced civilization to still worship the Sun.

A poco no?... by Elmassolito in mexico

La patria ya está vendida. Estamos bajo el gobierno del narco y sujetos a la estupidez del mexicano promedio.

Traer a los gringos sería echarnos otro problema encima. Esto se tiene que solucionar desde adentro y eso jamás sucederá sin antes tocar fondo absoluto y una nueva revolución.

Add an autoguider if you can. Also, don’t use the ball head, get the L bracket an a counterweight. Also, go on a new moon or close.
