OT building an astro tracker

Something to keep me busy:

It has GoTo and tracking. Current stepping motors are very cheap models. If
it all works I plan to mount real steppers and the DA300 which should
produce razor sharp starfields.

Perhaps the surplus of cows in our country is being offered a new career

There are plenty of great light reflections in this gallery.

I wonder what its pronouns are. Sheep, ewe, herd?

Re: January PUG comments

2024-02-10 Thread John Sessoms

Thank you.

Two of the images in last month’s PUG are burned into my mind - I can’t stop 
seeing them!

John’s Eclipse was just a masterwork in minimalism. All other things equal, I 
think I prefer eclipse images where the sun is just emerging out of the shadow, 
but still John’s image is just about as good as you can get IMNSHO. No 
distracting elements, nicely framed, just the sun and moon.

And then there is Paul Sorenson’s Fiesta!! I like the colors, the overall 
composition, the placement of the objects within… Nicely conceived and nicely 
done.

The PUG is always a treat. Thanks again Brian.

The fruit stand is not obviously fishy.

Rick, you got a nicely cleaned fisheye.
I'm surprised that I would not have recognized some pics as taken with a 
fisheye, in particular of the playground and the fruit market.

For me that is the way this lens should be used to not looking overdone.

PESO Leci n'est pas une Magritte

2024-02-10 Thread Larry Colen
Sometimes my sense of humor amuses me
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/53521668513/in/album-72177720314703860/

For folks that like to poke around in the whole album,  I rode my bike up Mt 
Rubideaux today, basically looking for a decent hill to ride.  It does provide 
a good view of the area so I took a bunch of photos just for reference as I 
learn the local area.   Some of those didn't totally suck, so I threw them into 
the album from both camera and phone.  I found it interesting to compare the 
phone JPEGs with the phone DNGs, processed in Lightroom.

After last week's storms, there's a fair bit of snow on nearby mountains making 
them rather picturesque.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/53521740123/in/album-72177720314703860/

This place must have been quite pretty 60 years ago before it got all built up. 
 And a lot of fun 40 years ago when it still had a racetrack.
