How can I share photos with SGL?

[carl20171]

Hello, I am trying to figure out how to share photos with all of you.

1) My fits file can be from 17-  35 meg. Is there somewhere I can upload the file in case someone whats to download it to experiment with to help me evaluate things?

2) It seems there is a small size limit on the actual post. How can I attach a larger file if possible?

Dropbox?

Most people use dropbox for sharing fits files. If you're just wanting to upload an image to look at then PNG is the best format normally.

Google drive is another option for large files.

You can disguise a really big jpg as as pdf, like this one:  Lord-Eyepiece-Evolution-Tree.PDF

Or, I suppose, you can add any file as a zip. Like this: test.zip

It seems to work. Can you download the zip and see the two images in it?

I would use anyone of the various free cloud based storage accounts that you can get these days - Personally  I use dropbox...
