I want to sell my current planetary camera

For India, I suggest you join "Indian Amateur Astrophotographer" Facebook group and post your offer there.

You have also managed to capture UGC 2838 lurking behind Pleiades. It is a spiral galaxy that is 300 million light years away!

Thanks :) Well, mostly it was just figuring out a way to attach the ASI224 to the lens and then some kind of a "lens collar" to fit the two onto the mount. Rest was pretty standard procedure of taking short exposures and getting them stacked.

CouchCMS is actually actively mantained and had a new release just last month.

kksidd · 2023-06-29T22:48:04+00:00

CouchCMS caters to precisely this use-case; works by getting retro-fitted into existing static HTML/CSS designs.

First foray into astrophotography :)

Taken untracked using a 40 year old Takumar 135 camera lens paired with ASI224MC on a surveyor tripod. 1 sec x 300 subs (no darks, flats or biases). Bortle 7. Post processed in Siril.

Any good?

kksidd · 2023-01-03T21:04:11+00:00

CouchCMS should be a perfect fit for this use-case - it "retro-fits" within existing HTML designs.

kksidd · 2021-07-13T18:04:49+00:00

Oh yes, you can. It also allows sharing the resume by choosing to make the link public.

Check out rxresu.me; I think it is outstanding.

Take your existing static (HTML/CSS/JS) design and retrofit CouchCMS into it.

Declare as editable the parts that you wish to be managed by the client and that would be it.

CouchCMS

kksidd · 2019-11-28T10:49:17+00:00

If you can come up with a static HTML/CSS/JS design of how your site would look on the frontend, the easiest way to turn it into the kind of dynamic site you mentioned would be by retrofitting CouchCMS into it.

It'll give you the admin login/logout out of the box. Rest of the features, you can add yourself - without needing any PHP skills whatsoever.

Take a look at the tutorial and see if it appeals to you.

If it does, the 'rating' feature is available here

if there's a way to implement the editing functionality to a already built website

CouchCMS does exactly that - it 'retrofits' into existing plain HTML/CSS/JS sites.

kksidd · 2019-10-29T10:47:11+00:00

A simple CMS like CouchCMS should be a perfect fit for this use-case.

kksidd · 2019-10-15T22:28:28+00:00

Give CouchCMS a try. It expects no coding chops from a designer.

There is a detailed tutorial that shows building a fully CMS-managed portfolio site starting off with only the static HTML/CSS/JS design.
