anyone from here get your pics shown tonight?

There used to be a fairly big pic of the week or month section encompassing all the various imaging sections but this was stopped. It was really good but I gather it was a bit of a faff to organise.

I think the other thing is it can create a competition type thing and really some people are more sensitive than others, nobody should be afraid to post a pic because they don't think it is up to standard. All imagers are welcome here and I like that.

yeah a pic of the week or month would be good, i can see it being a bit of a competition too, but that is a good thing sometimes, and your right all pics are welcome here

I guess Orthodox will disagree...the 6th of Jan is the date :D

Gaudete!

i think as long as i get BF4 ill be happy, there my fave games, had all the previous battle fields, its horrible not having it right now lol :(

Naemeth add me on xbox, my gamer tag is SLEEPIN SNYPER

Well, I don't have an Xbox.. should've probably mentioned that :). I missed the last generation ;) (I have a Wii and PS2, or at least did have a PS2, I think it broke some time ago :()

I don't have any games consoles,im 36 years old ;)

:)

It'll be useful to keep the frost off too?

good idea! :D for those frosty night when im out doing timelapse or star trail shots :D

Id agree, now is a busy time for my dew controller with the damp autumn days and cold nights. I only get about 30mins without dew at the momemt unless I have my secondary heater on. And I agree witht the frost issue, 2 weeks ago at kielder my gloves were sticking to the frost on my scope but I managed all night wih a clear secondary.

cheers

yeah but im thinking of making them and selling them for say £20 a pop, no way on hell i could afford the astro track for ages, im sure a lot of people are in the same boat as me, sure a £20 barn door will not be no where near as accurate as the astro track but no where near the high price either/....

just a thought tho really....

It would be a great way for people to try AP without breaking the bank. I started out using a barn door tracker. Got me hooked!

Good stuff

yes, way tooo long without a pc

nah jake i was at fishers pond, were u out last night? it was amazing wasnt it!!!

no i didnt go out martin, i went out 3 times last week so theres been 3 very late nights recently, the group did go out to TH and i think there was close to 20 people there

wow 20 people!! i have to go there some time, but i must admit i do like getting away from everyone not a person in sight and just chill lol, i saw too many shooters to count and got some cracking images, cant work on them or the timelapses till i get my pc tho :( dying to show off my images lol

It's rainy as well, if that makes you feel better ;)

loool no saturn for me this morning :(

That makes more sense.

thanks for that jake! lol some people say different stuff about flats which just confuses me lol looking at your pics tho jake ill do it your way haha and change the exposure of the flats from the lights, and put the dslr in AV mode...( quite surprised it does not mention this in making every photon count? unless i missed some reading :D (more then likely)

btw jake how do u normally take your flats? i was thinking just using my laptop screen (on a white screen)
