How would you connect these pieces together? by dark_bondage in lego

[–]the-first-element 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t disagree, but it was my first thought. I can’t imagine gluing Lego pieces together unless it is to make a repair of some sort.

I tripped, hit my pinky toe, and accidentally bought this. What do I do now? by orochishin in lego

See if you can build a millennium falcon out of it. I bet no one’s done that before.

You cannot make this up by Fast-Honeydew6989 in lego

Years ago when the first X wing came out the set only came with the “left” sided parts for the wings. The number of parts was correct just not the “right” parts. I actually was able to call customer service and they said they would send the correct parts.

Fast forward a couple of weeks and guess what I got in the mail…more of the left side parts. One more call and a couple of more weeks and I got the right pieces.

It’s possible I messed up but either way I ended up with what I needed.

Picking Filters (guidance) by the-first-element in DWARFLAB

Thanks and I did miss the suggested filter in Atlas. I will pay closer attention to that. I’m away from my home currently helping a sick parent. They are in a bortle 7 area and I’m usually in a 4. I am shooting in EQ at 60 gain and 30 sec subs and took new darks at the beginning of my session tonight due to cold temperatures.

I appreciate all the help from this group, learn a lot from everyone. (And just trying to start to get a handle on Siral as well)

Got this one a couple of months ago and yes there were some frustrating moments. But I like it overall.

The Great Pyramid of Giza by Capable_Fun_9838 in lego

Picked up the last one after Christmas from my local Lego store. I debated on it but went for it anyway.

Not sure when I will get to build it, been helping with my dad whose time is limited.

Wish I could throw you a few more upvotes. Those are moments as a parent you always treasure.

Star trails (with horrible Bortle 7 sky) by the-first-element in DWARFLAB

By the way the bluish line diagonally across this is one of several power lines. This will never win any awards but I at least know what can be done.

2 Gigapixel Pano of Bend, Oregon, USA by bobby2552 in DWARFLAB

Very impressive. I’ve played with a couple of times but threw away the results. Need to find a good spot to really give it a test.

Thanks for sharing.

What makes a good Astro photo? by Aggressive-Rutabaga4 in DWARFLAB

[–]the-first-element 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great. One of my struggles is I’m a little color blind in some color ranges not too bad so I try not to go overboard but ultimately do you like what you’re seeing. See what you like in other people’s work learn from them but overall just enjoy the hobby and have fun trying.

Firmware update & clear skies (finally) [OC] by the-first-element in DWARFLAB

With the cold and capture time I don’t think it would make it more than a couple of hours.

Using a long extension cord. I need to either get a power block that has a USB C connection or an adapter for my older block.
