It's for sale so a lot has probably been removed, but I know what you mean, such as every room being cream

looks better imo. the hangings were hideous before. It's much brighter and more welcoming now.

I would prefer to see 3D printed biological limbs (and organs) though. No batteries, more seamless, sense of touch.

Cargo helicopter is basically the same idea, just a helicopter, and minus a specialized container, I guess. Nothing stopping it from using an actual truck container, though.

I got a couple of neat pictures using my phone through my telescope this evening, Also saw the ISS zip across the sky earlier in the day. Makes you feel a bit small.

Jupiter and 3 of its moons, assuming they are Callisto, Europa and Io. Had to edit the brightness and contrast to hell and back to get them to be a bit clearer though, so sorry for the noise.

Just felt incredible to see something more than 700 million kilometers away, gives a sense of the scale of the solar system.

They came out surprisingly well, I hope you don't stop doing this.

You can stabilize it in after-effects and remove the blurred frames.
Thought about it, but the blurred frames are like 45% of the animation

What kind of telescope have you got?
[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;46797106]What kind of telescope have you got?[/QUOTE]
A 4 inch Newtonian Reflector, has a focal length of 1000m. It was a cheaper one for around £80 hence why there is a bit of distortion (the mirror isn't the best). But it does the best, would love to get an 8 inch with a Dobsonian Motorized mount so I can track objects. Better for taking pictures with!

Except ur mum
Are we posting personal astrophotography stuff?
I have an 80mm refractor telescope with a constant motor drive that is basically controlled by a knob. I got a DSLR and did some prime focus photography. Basically I had to manually get my telescope perfectly polar aligned via the star drift method because my telescope doesnt have an RA axis sight either. Basically it was me outside on a towel for 2 hours getting this thing properly aligned and then an hour of getting exposures.

This was making the rounds in the loadmaster circles a bit back. One guy pointed out the main issue being the boxes themselves. You'd probably have to make several for every plane in the fleet, and good luck keeping them airworthy. You should see the beating your average pallet takes.

Apparently what causes this is that the fog contains super-cooled water, that freezes instantly whenever it touches anything. So even as it blows by, it can freeze on contact and in motion, which makes the wispy bits.[/QUOTE]
