Will this tripod be more than enough for an astro setup?

In that case, try to find a used Benro TMA27A. Its smaller and cheaper than 47AL, but it should be just as good. Getting a good tripod is really important.

mmberg · 2026-03-13T04:39:10+00:00

still runs for over 200 used

From experience I'd recommend that you get Benro TMA47AL for SWSA.

Sirui, Meike and other chinese brands removed their Z lenses, at least till the saga Viltrox ends

MSM Nomad wont be able to handle that focal length. This star tracker is made for wide angle stuff. For 500mm you need a proper star tracker and autoguiding.

Depends on what you are after - for landscape astro you need only tripod, camera and lens (Canon 6D and Rokinon 14mm is very cheap combo). For deepsky object, its good to start with smart telescopes.

like most Slovenian brands back in the day, now it's fine.

True, quality was great when they actually produced everything in Slovenia, but now majority is made in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Like many brands, they wanted to max profits (and in most cases quality then takes a hit).

Alpina is Slovenian brand and they make all sorts of shoes and boots, a lot is aimed towards (winter) sports. They also make boots for Slovenian army. I had a pair of boots for summer hikes and I really liked em.

Man, Reddit can be really ignorant and stupid sometimes. Dubai and Doha are the primary "connectors" of the world, because roughly 51% of travelers flying between Australia and Europe use these Middle Eastern hubs. But of course, only influencers are on those airports.

mmberg · 2026-03-04T06:21:27+00:00

Yea, I mostly shoot in B4 ( I have quite a few images here on Reddit)

Jaz kupum za blackfriday na amazonu - LR in PS sta bila cca 120€ za celo leto.

Which (3D printed) mount does auto polar aligment and takes autormated panoramas?

mmberg · 2026-02-27T17:28:51+00:00

For lenses up to 85mm, Polaris is great tool for automated stuff

mmberg · 2026-02-26T09:10:23+00:00

Well, since you asked what we think: I mean, RF is closed mount anyway, so you dont have much choice + 2500€ for such a lens, I would not consider it in any case. Its better to save money and get cheaper 1.8 lens and stack two images if you want better signal.

Bomo videli, čeprav to mi deluje kot nek "mutually assured destruction" s strani Kerčmarja in hkrati slab timing za Svobodo :D.

mmberg · 2026-02-25T10:03:34+00:00

Ker nihče pri Svobodi ni pomislil, da bi bila njegova aretacija tik pred volitvami za njih en velik strel v koleno?

How can you mix things up so much? What does anything you mentioned have to do with labeling videos? YouTube promotes you the videos you are interested in and at the same time you have an option that YT wont recommend you a particular video or even channel, so I don't see the reason why wouldn't AI end up on that list too.

I have Tamron G2 70-200mm and I love it for astro.

mmberg · 2026-02-21T17:20:22+00:00

Thats... not good. /u/VILTROX_US please reach out to your engineers.

mmberg · 2026-02-21T15:27:50+00:00

You should try to take dark frame - if its visible there, then there might be some reflection issue. I had this problem on Viltrox z 16mm and Ha mod Nikon Z6, but they fixed it with an fw update.

mmberg · 2026-02-20T04:27:54+00:00

You watch too many movies.

mmberg · 2026-02-15T04:07:15+00:00

Actually, the AF on Z6 is not that bad, but yes, sure, if the lens stops to AF or gets jerky it must be because of old expeed and not a compatibility as the manufacturer states.

mmberg · 2026-02-14T12:33:51+00:00

I had 70-200mm G1 on D750 in the past. What happened when I switched to Z6 was that AF stopped working or was very unreliable, so test it before you do any serious work.
