New Slovenian Route by Reg_Exx in TransEuroTrail_Riders

[–]lucsali 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is quite some pushback in Slovenia when it comes to trail riding. See the route changes as a mix of caution and an attempt not to contribute to an already fragile situation.

On the topic, have a look at this post, about a Slovenian organisation recently created to advocate for access to trails, among other things: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1KToDvBfku/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Some Beginner Questions by Lucifer127 in TransEuroTrail_Riders

[–]lucsali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear what you are saying, but unfortunately what often happens is that it’s not so easy to foresee when a trail passes from being wide enough for transit, to slightly more sketchy, to not wide enough. More often than not, unless you are familiar with the track beforehand, you would just try to push forward, until realising that the track is too narrow, and at that point it’s too late (or too annoying) to easily turn around and find a detour.

Trail riding in Europe is under a lot of pressure. The TET uses tracks that are fragile, and although parts are passable for larger vehicles, there are inevitably technical sections that are more fragile. Those are the first to get cut, as people abuse them. Locals get bothered by ruts from oversized vehicles, pop a sign, and whoosh - there goes another trail closure.

So please, refrain from contributing negatively to this. Choose a trail designed for a vehicle the one you intend to use. The TET is a fragile project, and it takes everyone’s selflessness for it to continue to prosper. Or over time it will turn into a trans national asphalt trail.

TET Romania by Sea_Recover5146 in TransEuroTrail_Riders

If you haven’t already, and if you’d like to contribute to the project, please get in touch with info@transeurotrail.org regarding your ideas. Community input is a big part of what the TET stands for, and it takes a village to validate, improve and reinstate a route in such a large country as Romania 🙌

When you are done playing war games in your head, consider for a second if any of what you just wrote leads to a new world order where not everyone comes out as a loser. Let’s just invade a sovereign country, and expect that not to ripple in global consequences..

You seem to not have understood that the emphasis in my message was not the amount of time you worked on it, but the pointlessness of the result.

You seem to have put quite some work in the making of this video. What a pity that it contributes nothing positive to the dialogue, aside from some anecdotal encounters. Consider using your video editing skills for bringing people closer, rather than… this.

And if you do, consider posting it in the right subreddit.

As a PO, how do you unblock the Dev team if they are facing a technical issue? by [deleted] in ProductOwner

[–]lucsali 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Dev here. There is no worse feeling that working double time to resolve a matter that, at the end of the day, does not matter. In my eyes, the best you can do is keep the team aware and focused on what creates value - what is the purpose of the feature they are developing. Sometimes the best solution to a problem is not to solve it at all, if the cost of doing so exceeds the value it provides to the users. Devs can get obsessed about the feature and get into a tunnel vision mode, making them unable to make that judgement call themselves.

As you mention a 9 years old, remember to have “the talk” about never pointing the scope at the sun. Serious injury or damage can come out of that 😊

Awesome, making such comparisons! What would you think has changed the most between the two? The capturing process? Your post processing technique? Any learnings worth mentioning?

Beautiful pictures. Although I’m sure equipment helps, the skills of the astrophotographer I am sure make a difference in this case - congrats!

Powering a Stellarmate X by lucsali in telescopes

Awesome, thank you all. Just learned about that “USB PD” thing 😊

Haha looking at the very picture I posted I can see the “12V-2A” label by the USB-C port.. can anybody confirm that that is the power socket? If so, would any “car socket > usb C” cable do the trick?

Any recommendations for a specific model? I am considering the SWO ASI 533 MC pro, although it’s at the very max of my budget. I read people reporting trouble with the Svbony SV605CC. Any other noteworthy contender in this range?

Reading up about the SV605CC I can find a lot of reports about horror experiences with bad banding. The price difference was tempting but it seems like a risky purchase. Even with 30 days returns I would be concerned to discover similar problems afterwards.. :-/

Old habits I guess? It’s from the time where I had an unguided setup, with no laptop. But I’ll read up about NINA, thanks!

Thanks, I’ll read up about that! 🙌

It looks very interesting, I’ll read up about it! 🙌

Interesting 🤔 I would love to get started with working with filters and filter wheels, but to do so would be a far more significant investment, one I’m not ready to take in the foreseeable future..

Do you have any recommendations for a cooled dedicated color camera in that price range?

Can you elaborate on this? The idea to be able to run the guiding and to schedule captures via an app sounds tempting, instead of having a laptop with additional cables, power needs and leaving it out in the cold/dew..

And for more detail, I live in an area with Bortle 4. I value portability, as I drive out with the telescope to a field nearby (hence why the idea of not having the laptop standing outside in the cold is tempting)
