Yes. I have a 30tb Synology NAS setup at home and I use amazon photos as a backup as you can store unlimited RAW's.

In reality it's much less than that even. If you use a wide lens, you'll notice the stars on the edge start to trail even as low as 10 seconds on a 16mm, whilst the ones in the centre are nice and sharp. Although luckily it's not really much of an issue unless you pixel peep.

Infinity might look good enough when your focusing on a large mountain in the distance, but when you're focusing on stuff light years away that's a single pin prick of light you want it pin sharp. Also Infinity might not actually be bob-on infinity on your actual lens. Not all lens's have...

Have you signed up to the Telegram alerts? They've been coming through without issue. What he should maybe do, is if the server gets swamped like this, as a cost effective way, is stream the stats straight to youtube and let them handle the increase in traffic!.

If anyone here wants to capture or see these in future, bin off the god awful Aurora Watch app, it's next to useless and only shows cumulative activity up to the current point, go check out the Glendale site/app and join an UK Aurora Facebook group for pointers. Keeping an eye on the sun...

that will be because on those models they probably don't have the 120hz mode enabled making it buttery smooth. If you have the power saving mode on it disables it. There's a massive difference between the two modes.

I've bought probably 10 lowepro backpacks over the years, great camera bags, terrible for hiking. Funnily enough I picked up a Stratos 36 a couple of weeks ago as it was on offer in my local Go Outdoors, due to them closing for refurbishment. I've used it once and I have to say it's incredibly...

I ended up having to do it in photoshop manually, I just chucked all the images in as layers and expanded the canvas so it was big enough, lined them up manually and blended them in one by one using a layer mask. Photoshop, Lightroom and even PTGui all refused to automate it.

Well watching it at Stonehenge was a hell of a lot more fun than trying to stitch a panorama of it together, which I'd say is somewhat akin to repeatedly smashing your head against a brick wall! Lightroom, Photoshop and PTgui all point blank refused to output anything resembling a complete...

Low shelves!

What a complete and utter load of tripe. Buying a grey import does not in any shape or form equate to any kind of breaking of any laws. Import tax still applies. Propping up a failing business is none of my concern. My only concern is getting the best price for a bit of equipment that I can...

Always enjoyed their vid's.

Birds on a stick, Dragonfly's, street portraits Old Indian Gentlemen looking sad... that sort of thing yeah?

It varies from club to club. Some are ultra competitive, others much less so. It depends what you want to get out of camera club competitions really. Personally I use them for constructive critique on my images. I've found that since getting an impartial view on my work that they've picked up...

Look up. It's always there. Give your eyes 30 mins to get accustomed to the dark. It looks like a thin cloud. Failing that, just take a high iso 20 second long exposure and you'll see it.
