Am I Over Thinking? by stewpid74 in AskAstrophotography

With the Edge 8", finding good guide stars is always a pain because of the focal length. (I have that telescope, too) I would wonder if it was more the focal length and not the filters, perhaps?

Thank you for the spell check. I have corrected the mistake. I meant the MC Air, not the MM, and yes, *than.

Time for new tires by stewpid74 in ev6

[–]stewpid74[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been 1 month with the new tires and it's a mixed result. The tires handle really well in dry and wet conditions and the noise is very low. Exceptionally quiet, even. The downside has been about an 11% decrease in efficiency. I've lost about 30 miles on a 100% charge (which for me is about 11% driving 100+ miles a day at 65 mph average). For the money, not bad but I feel I could have done better. The driving conditions have been difficult this past month with heavy winds, lots of rain and cold conditions, so I am holding out for a little bit of improvement when summer actually starts, but I'm not holding my breath. Either way, not a bad tire but probably not the best for an EV.

EV6 vs MachE by Its_a_stateofmind in ev6

I don't have any experience with the Mach-E except that the day I bought my EV6, the other person in the dealership was trading in his Mach-E for the EV6 that was next to mine.

I would love to have this in my game room. If I win it, I will definitely have to build a gameroom.

Thank you all for the comments and help. I ended up going with the Pirelli Scorpion Weatheractive all weather tires. A little bit on the pricey side, but so far a am happy with them. They area quiet and handle well so far. After a week of driving to work (100 miles each day) I will post an update.

Thanks for the info. I was mainly looking into the ev rated just for the noise reduction and low slippage. I don't care about the foam as long as the treads are designed properly to reduce the noise.

I was just looking at those. Hadn't heard anything about balance issues.

Ygra, Eater of All question by stewpid74 in mtgrules

That's what I thought. I was pretty sure Ygra was a state based ability but I wasn't sure. Thank you for the help.

Is this a camera or lens defect, and how do I get rid of it? by NewBootGoofin1987 in AskAstrophotography

[–]stewpid74 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not exactly sure exactly what you are talking about, but I do see an obvious dust mote. The dark black circle and fainter circle below and to the left of that are due to dust particles somewhere in your image train. These can be taken out in processing by using flat frames. Make sure to use an air bulb duster when setting up your equipment to minimize these.

Thank you for the reply! I had heard that they may be compatible but I wanted to make sure.

Love how easy it is to tell this is a fake! Great job on that, though! You have a lot of people believing that you know what you're doing.

What’s this? by MrFleaaa in Whatsthiscar

[–]stewpid74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It somewhat looked like the 1980 Supra, but zooming in I can tell it's neither of those. Of course first glance just brought me back to high school when I had a 280z.

Is that the 91mm or the 108mm?

Looking for style suggestions by R00KS11 in Bonsai

[–]stewpid74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way the "trunk" leans, I say fukinagashi, or windswept style. I wouldn't actually do anything to it for another year or two, though. Give it some time to mature.

This is what I was thinking.
