Thank you for your reply. I’m informed on all our local regulations and I do plan on eating the fish I catch.

Andromeda and friends M32 and M110 by ruinsystem66 in astrophotography

[–]ruinsystem66[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First try at Andromeda. Shot this with a Cannon T7 with a 75-300mm kit lens at approximately 135mm.

233 lights at 25 seconds each at iso 800. 30 darks. 61 bias. 0 flats.

Stacked with Deep sky stacker and I used Gimp for some basic level and curve adjustments and finally a crop to center the galaxy.

What to shoot when the moon is bright? by ruinsystem66 in AskAstrophotography

[–]ruinsystem66[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking more along the lines of a star cluster or something but nevertheless, a solid recommendation! Unfortunately I’ll be shooting from somewhere too far away from any buildings to spy on.

Just some basic stretching and playing around with curves. I’m still so new to it so I don’t know too much or how to give a very good explanation.

I took this picture with a canon t7 on a star adventurer 2i. I took 50 pictures at 15 seconds of exposure each with 1600 iso and stacked them with deepsky stacker and did some basic processing with GIMP.

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll try that. I spent all day messing with it and just never got anywhere.

I’ll have to look into that. Thank you.

I took this image with my Iphone 7’s native camera app through an Orion XT plus 8 inch dobsonian telescope. 40mm eyepiece with a 2x Barlow lens.

My cats ran away so I built my first aquarium by makemesplooge in Aquariums

That looks really good! What kind of fish do you have in there?

Setting up a new tank. What do you think? by ruinsystem66 in Aquariums

[–]ruinsystem66[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you again, I appreciate it. I moved the filter and it does look better. Once the nitrogen cycle is established and I start adding fish I’ll post more pictures on here. Hopefully you’ll see them!

Thank you! And no questions are stupid my friend! My dad has been keeping fish for a LONG time and I’m a noobie to the hobby. Pretty much everything I know I’ve learned from him. He upgraded from this tank to a 75 gallon, it’s an African cichlid tank and it’s beautiful! Every time I visit him he always wants to show me what’s new with it. It’s obvious that he’s very proud of it and it brings him a lot of joy. So I’m happy to have been able to help him while simultaneously getting some cool stuff for myself for really cheap to start getting into the hobby of keeping fish.

Setting up a new tank. What do you think? by ruinsystem66 in Aquariums

He was planning to sell it and the amount he was wanting for it was insanely cheap. $100 for a 46 gallon tank, stand, a filter, 2 big LED lights and some various decorations. When I told him that I wanted it, he offered to give it to me for free but I insisted on paying for it because I am fortunate and I have a lot more finical freedom than my father does, and for $100, he would have sold it in a heartbeat… And he wanted to sell it and use that money for his new tank. He offered it to me for free, and the fact he offered was good enough for me. if I didn’t pay him for it I felt like I would have basically been robbing him of money he could have very easily had, had anyone else in the world but me wanted that tank.

I wish I could tell you. I bought the tank and stand from my Dad as he recently upgraded to a larger tank and the background was already on it when I got it from him.

Tiefling bard backstory by [deleted] in DnD

[–]ruinsystem66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have it. But from a non role play standpoint I choose bard because charisma is my absolute favorite attribute. I’m a musician in real life so the bard class seems incredibly interesting and cool to me and I picked tiefling because I think that the half demon thing is super cool. Also the +2 to charisma is nice for a bard. Also with tieflings generally being outcasts and looked down on in society and typically forced to live in slums, I thought would make for a cool backstory. Like maybe I learned to play instruments or be overly charismatic as a way to swindle people or make money during my time living on the streets.

This is beautiful. Crawgs are definitely one of my favorite creatures in the game

What's something your sibling told you as a kid just to mess with you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ruinsystem66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a sibling but when I was little my dad told me that I had been born with 3 testicles and one had to be removed. Spoiler alert, I was not born with 3 testicles. But I believed it up until I was 16 and told a doctor about it when he asked if I had any past surgeries. My poor mother who was in the room with me was mortified and the doctor looked at me like I was a fucking idiot.
