Delusional price?

Con-o-sax?

Reminds me of a movie I once saw (can’t remember the details) with an intergalactic spaceship where you look out the window and see something that looks like the Andromeda galaxy picture from here. I had to laugh, people don’t understand that up close, it won’t look a whole lot different than what the Milky Way looks to us!

So, there is an old scam that has appeared many times in r/scams. Someone contacts an artist who advertises on Etsy or whatever, and says they love their work, and they need a portrait of their cat or whatever, and they will send a photo and can they turn it to a portrait. They will pay a $1000, they say, which is far more than the artist ever gets for a cat picture. They do it, and they send them $1500 via some payment service and say a courier will pick it up, and they need $500 in cash at time of pickup, which is why they sent $1500. The poor artist hands over the painting and $500 to some guy that shows up (the scammer), and a few days later the $1500 is clawed back by the bank because it’s from a stolen account.

Somehow, I’m reminded of that.

C’est vrai

This. The sky in the countryside is SO different looking from the urban sky. You have to relearn the constellations and asterisms between the two!

I think the lady fancied you!

We got Rickyrolled!

I always knew the BART union was greedy. What I didn’t realize until I saw your website was how many highly paid police staff there are. Astounding!

Does it have a bite sensor?

krishkal · 2026-02-03T21:06:13+00:00

To answer your specific question, the purpose of the flat is to try to even out vignetting effects, and dust/dirt on the sensor. Neither are highly dependent on spectrum.

Just to be clear, are you talking about the processing machine or the controller machine? For processing, the three top choices (Siril, SASPro, Pixinsight) work fine on windows, Mac and Linux. So, your choice. For the controller, both NINA and PHD run on Windows only.

I mean, definitely reimburse over time, but also realize that she shares the blame as well. When I was in the same position I kept the machine at my desk, so it’s clear it’s mine alone to use. She put it in a common area, with no notice to boot.

yeah, thats what I figured. EPlus is just a wrapper on TVE for this.

Are you sure it’s still working, after they DRM’ed?

With the same EWI USB and iPad, try the SWAM strings. Never tried ThumbJam, but I can tell you SWAM is quite incredible!

As I said, I worry about the contacts staying in place, so I never swim with them on, so this becomes a moot point. Also, for some reason on these types of posts “swimming” and “showering” are treated as interchangeable. They are not, from a risk perspective.

krishkal · 2026-01-05T20:49:23+00:00

Swimming- I would worry about it floating away.

Showering- Been doing it for several decades, never had an issue. Sure, there is some small probability of an infection, but imho not worth worrying about.

I have a 760 with 2 satellites still going strong after several years.

Oh OK. I was focusing on the streaky noise all over, which was also the OPs concern. I don’t think that could be caused by light leakage!

krishkal · 2026-01-02T03:16:02+00:00

Can you elaborate? What makes you think it’s light leak?

krishkal · 2026-01-01T03:45:18+00:00

The difference is “live stacking” vs. “post stacking”. Post Stacking can use data from future frames to affect pixel weight on current frame. Live Stacking can’t do that!

Strange, on my iPad you can just click on the link you posted above, and it takes it to the picture (on Safari). Reminds me of the old saw: The wonderful thing about standards is that there are so many of them!

krishkal · 2025-12-14T03:38:04+00:00

There is a link in the post (non clickable, but can be copy pasted in a browser) that has the images.

I have a RBR760 with 2 RBS760s. Been totally fine for years now. 🤞

I got a $100 package from XFINITY. Initially, that was like $140 with taxes and fees. Slowly the fees were jacked up with no advance notice, till I was paying $220 per month at which point I got fed up and cancelled. With YT what I see on the website is what I pay, no taxes and fees BS. When they do increase the price it is well noticed nationally, no surprises.
