To be fair I pretend to be my own secretary when answering cold callers.. I urge others to do the same. You can get them running round in loops..

Bitwarden for me too. Small price to pay. Signal is another and tend to chuck a few euros to lots of small freeware developers if I use their software often.

Lost - seriously fuck that show Prison Break Heroes The Walking Dead Dexter

Are the first to spring to mind…

Around Black Friday time they have had sales and you get both for a year for around 20€ so the lifetime subscription doesn’t look so much of an attractive deal.

Cheers!

Seriously though not sure why all images are in this orientation. From where I am (South Germany) it’s actually upside down. Was told to rotate it 180 degrees as that the way it’s normally depicted..

Pisser isn’t it.. ;-)

Used a sky adventurer 2i. (Brilliant piece of kit)

Many thanks.

16:9 crop if it’s of use to anyone for a desktop wallpaper.

Thank you. I think it’s small in the sky and quite difficult to see. I used a star finder app on the phone; starting at 200mm until I found it then zoomed in and took some test shots at 600mm until it was in the frame. It’s still kind of a fuzzy blur in the frame. Then set it to take the images and it’s only once you stack the images and then stretch that the details really come out. It’s really great fun from start to finish. (My first edits were dreadful; learnt a lot through a discord forum on how to do the processing)

Yes, I had dabbled a bit with astro photography with wide angle lenses and thought the zoom might be too heavy for the mount. Used a Sky Adventurer 2 tracker and had to use an additional weight to balance the lens.

Really happy with the way it turned out.
