Wow. I love that evocative look.

I like this for its risk taking. It is a make or break type idea. It has a reasonable chance of gaining traction.

I got the V20 and its DAC is really good. It is why I chose it over the Samsung. As a smartphone it does all that I've needed so far. Like you I always use a real camera for picture taking and the...

I think you are onto something. We know that the government really cares nothing at all about our privacy but everything it does is hidden behind the wall of "national security".

I had a similar experience with the Canon M5 and its 15-45mm lens. I bought several other lenses right after I got the camera kit but after a year or so I tried the 15-45 again and was surprised ...

I wish it had IS even though it's a short focal length lens. That way its price would be more justified.

Have you seen the M5 and M50? They feel very solid to me.

Get the book on Astrophotography by Charles Bracken. It is really good. DSS is a good piece of software for beginners. Do not give up. Keep on studying. Nothing worthwhile is ever easy. Join ...

Me too though so far the camera is doing all that I ask of it. 1080p is good enough for me for the occasional clip. 4K would just eat up more storage space. Only thing on the M50 I admire is the...

I would consider it depending on your needs. I played with the M50 at Best Buy and was duly impressed. I have the M5 and thought the M50 felt a lot like it. I am now waiting for Canon to come out...

Directed Energy. Fires don't melt cars or burn houses to a white ash while trees around are okay.

My guess is ten years. Astro equipment (telescopes, mounts, cameras) and software are really moving along now. It is amazing.

As the tech develops it is becoming easier. The learning curve is steep though.

Astro photo equipment can devour your bank account. I just spent over two thousand USD just to get the basic stuff needed. Main thing is a beefy mount.

You got the spark of inspiration. It's how it all begins. Good journey to you. Goin' home.

Hi Rey, Yep, I think Roger would agree with your take on mono color cameras. I was thinking about using about using my EOS M5 and I still might for a few weeks. But mono is the ultimate way to go ...

Roger, Thanks the informative reply. Now I know what sort of camera I want to get (monochrome). I am reading all I can at present to get a feel for what I will need to do in the future to get those ...

Does each nebula or object (galaxies, comets, etc.) have its own "recipe" of filters to get the authentic (truest) color? Also what is the advantage of using a monochrome camera versus a color ...

It is easy enough to take the OTA and put it on an equatorial mount. Check this out: https://www.cloudynights.com/articles/cat/articles/night-vision-phone-photography-r3149

I'm aware of the limitations of a Dob but was wondering aloud of workaround solutions. But from what I've read it is possible to take a series of shots of brighter objects and the software (or ...
