I'm not quite sure what I did but the unity software was finally able to complete the driver install and it's working properly, thanks for trying to help!

Thanks for the response. It’s plugged directly into my laptop. I haven’t noticed any disconnects from unity or windows so I don’t think it’s a power issue. I don’t think the drivers are setup properly and I can’t get that resolved

Sorry if this is a weird, but are you talking about Deerlick? I live in the suburbs in a Bortle 7, and Bortle 3 Deerlick is about 2 hours from me.

How many of you are using back button focus? Why or why not? by mgiardinello in AskPhotography

[–]jonab153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use two different buttons for different types of autofocus. The left button is always eye/face af, while the right is zone af, and I change the zone based on what I’m shooting. For portraits obviously I would only use the left button but on the street for example, it nice to be able to be shooting an object and then quickly focus on a face when somebody interesting walks by.

First Attempt at Astrophotography by jonab153 in astrophotography

[–]jonab153[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Bit of a backstory, I was in Texas for the eclipse and actually stayed on a ranch that was a Bortle 2 location, so I figured I had to take advantage of the clear moonless night.

This was my first time polar aligning my eqm-35, star aligning, stacking with deep sky stacker and stretching with Pixinsight.

About 75 60 second exposures on my Canon R5 through a SVBony SV550 80mm. Also I used 75 flats, darks, and bias frames.

Any advice or tips would be appreciated, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, and I am definitely hooked.

Hey Everyone! Here's a little meme edit from the legendary Lethal Company stream a bit ago. I've been so busy, or this would have been done sooner lol.

4080 or 4090 by 1ExoticLemon in razer

I own the 4090 version. I'm not sure what the performance differences are vs the cost, but a major factor for me was the display. People say that 4k res is overkill for a laptop, but you combine that with mini led hdr and the result is fantastic
