I’m on Cloudy Nights as W5JCK. I haven’t posted much there as I tend to mostly hang out here. I’ll sign up as W5JCK on Stargazers Lounge soon.

I’m going to miss this forum. Some good friends here. Hopefully I’ll see them on the other forums. I want to thank all those who helped me get started in astrophotography and night sky photography 15+ years ago. I really appreciate all the help.

I currently do little more than meteor photography now since age and health prevent me from traveling to darker skies. I recently bought a Sony ZV-E10 and will be attempting to get into night sky videography, especially of meteors. Hopefully I will be able to acquire a Sony a7S ii (or higher) someday, but the ZV-E10 will serve as a video training platform until then. Darn good camera for $699!

Leo (@1DSmII) old buddy and mentor, and the rest of you meteor photographers and videographers, I hope to see y’all (yep I'm a Texan) on Cloudy Nights and/or Stargazers Lounge. You can also reach me at jack@w5jck.com. Thanks everyone for helping us all get better at capturing meteors!

Jack,

I'll be sorry to see DPR go. Fond memories and I have enjoyed the conversations we have had over the years.

It'll be strange not being able to log in here any more, but hopefully we can all stay in touch via the other forums. I think I prefer SGL as it's a little less formal, but we'll see where the chips fall after the dust has settled. I registered at both a few months back!

By the way, regarding the video side of things: Great timing (not!), but another low-light video astrophotographer just came out of the woodwork, and we have been comparing amp-glow/talking about related aspects here - there's also a parallel thread over on cloudy nights.

But getting back to the topic at hand, I'd like to echo Jack in saying thank you to all who have contributed on this forum!
