Aaah - just bought DSLR - is the wife now leaving me?

The wife would only kill you if she uses Nikon.... cant have a 2 system household

Such a good point. If she uses the same lens system then you can buy her presents in the knowledge that you'll get to use them too

Lol - got a simple lens for 40£ for now:

Canon EF-S 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 Autofocus Zoom Lens

[Russe]

that makes now 200£ for camera and lens and 45£ for T-ring and adapter...

[Russe]

And 18£ for a 32gb SD card...

[Russe]

And 11.25£ for APT.

What's next?

[malc-c]

£200 to have the camera modified to remove the internal ir filters

Then she'll surely leave... Lol

Do you guys save the files directly to the comp or onto the SD card?

I save 'em direct to the laptop. not sure there's any real advantage as I now have to copy files to stick then stick to pc where as if i used the memory card i could plug that straight into the pc. (i only use the laptop for capture, no processing)

You should make a local network Connection Between both computers.

Same here - the data is captured via APT direct to a hard drive on the observatory PC which is networked. In the past the observatory PC wasn't quite up to the processing of the images, so I used to copy the subs and darks from the observatory PC to my main PC over the local network as my main PC is a lot more powerful. I've since upgraded the observatory PC so I can do all the processing in the comfort of my warm room with out interruptions from the wife and kids - having an observatory does have its advantages

Lol! My wife would leave me!

Oh, we had that already?!

Rofl!!

Would love an obsy!!

If you could build a house the way you want to, would you put an obsy on the upper floor?
