The Admiral

Thanks for the heads-up on Crossover. I may investigate that further. Ian

I run Astro Pixel Processor and Siril on a Mac-mini M1. Both are multi-platform. GIMP photo editor is also multi-platform, and so too is Affinity Photo, though I don't use that. APP can be purchased outright or by paying an annual sub, and this allows all the updates during that year. Siril and GIMP are free. Ian

It is sad, but here's a guy of 90 still piloting a plane! A fulfilling life right to the end. R.I.P. You couldn't wish for better. And, of course, there's the legacy of the Moonrise image. Ian

As a matter of interest what version of the ASIAir did you update? Is it the ARM powered version, post RPi? Ian

Fantabulous! Glorious colours and structures. Ian

Aurora photography at its best. Brilliant, as usual Paul! And what a backdrop. I presume flying a drone around the dishes doesn't cause any interference or other issues? Ian

I thought it was very good, the panel members were very easy to listen to. Ian

Superb! Ian

I particularly like the pictures with the foreground stones, they add interest and counterpoint to the heavens. Ian

Promising development Paul, even if it is a bit nail biting! I'm sure you will buff it into shape, but I guess as always you need plentiful opportunities to hone the skills. Hope we get them. Ian

I was out looking for Comet Pons-Brooks last night. Couldn't see it at all, just the very early Moon. I snapped it just before it went below the roofline. Taken with Lumix G80 and Panny-Leica 200mm f/2.8. Ian

I'm beginning to suspect that you've found a way to collect all ours as well. 😉 Ian

You never cease to amaze Goran 👏. Where would you be without those lovely dark skies to keep you, and us, amused? Ian

When I tried cleaning my conventional camera sensor I used up a lot of the cleaning sticks, but there's still a mote left behind! Turned into an expensive exercise. Have fun 😊. Ian

I am on Android, and having rolled back the software to the last properly working version I have turned off auto-updating. I did this by opening Play Store, searching for the App (ASIAir), clicking on the 3 dots at the top right of the page, and unchecking auto-updating. It does seem that since v1.9, all versions have 'issues'. Apple products may work differently of course. Ian
