  2. Hard to stay illusioned with this hobby of late.

    I look at the pictures I took now a minimum of a year in the past, and occasionally glimpse a star past some clouds. I then look at my dusty equipment and wonder if this hobby is even still viable for me. I could swear weather in the GMT+0 months has gotten progressively worse since I took up this hobby in 2014 and paired with work I feel this hobby somewhat unsustainable. I wish things were different.

      yea darn weather eh, and when we get a bit of clear its hard to get a frame without one of elons satilites in shot. these things are there to test us for sure. one things for sure it can only get better i hope.

      nice one mate, there great mounts, i went for one because there lighter than the EQ6 but thay can handle the wieght, mines carryed the 102 and ed 80 + dew heaters cameras and got over 2min frames with no bother the only down is no slowmo controls its all got to be done with handset. ive never used the goto yet im worried its going to crash against the window in my obsyroom 😀. goodluck mate. charl.
