Wow such great photos Andrew! I especially like that first one. What camera/lens/settings was that if you remember? I just saw the ISS for the first time when I was watching those Aurora, I had no idea what it was at first because it was so much brighter than any other satellite!

Thanks Adam and Andrew! No worries Andrew, I'm quite jealous of Australia's night skies during the winter months, I'd love to see the Magellanic Clouds and the core of the Milky Way directly overhead! We should trade sometime :D I'd also want to visit wayy up north around where you are Adam...

Thanks Adam! Speaking of Aurora, we just had a great show last week that thankfully I was out taking pictures and video of.

Thanks so much every one of you! I just was taking with a 'professional Milky Way photographer' one might say, over the predicament I am in with my northern latitude. I'm far enough north so that the Milky Way barely pokes above the horizon even during the summer months where it makes its best...

Thanks so much! Same here rep-wise :D And crazier to think of how small of a part of the universe this snapshot is, when there are to our best guesses roughly 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars in the observable universe, and probably many times more planets.... just incomprehensible!

Hey guys, been reluctant to upload the photos I've taken recently because there's lots and it's tedious uploading them, but I really wanted to share this one because I'm super super proud and stunned. This is my first true attempt at photographing the Milky Way core, less than a year ago I knew...

Keep your stick on the ice Brendan ;) Enjoy your stay here, I hope you learn lots and have fun doing so. Always nice to see people joining the hobby and the forums :)

Yep I follow that too, any place in the Americas would be 'down there' if it's south of me, and 'up there' if it's north. Here in Edmonton especially, its popular to refer to someone as 'going up north' when they leave to make some big $$$ at Fort Macmurray, working in the oil industry. For...

This has been an especially cloudy spring so far up here (or down here for diachi :D) It's been overcast for almost three weeks straight now, we've had about 10cm of snow on two separate occasions, and that's after a previous week of 10-20°C weather about a month ago! In the meantime I've made...

Thanks Paul and Encap! Just confirming, the laser has shipped so the sale is officially closed.

Well that was quick! I've taken an offer, so as of now the sale is closed. Thanks everyone!

Thanks Sean! I meant to attach an image but I submitted it without doing so, and I had to wait until the thread was approved to access it. Darn! The thing is I've actually wanted to put it up for sale for way longer than that, but I just never got around to it! Goes to show why sloth is one of...

CLOSED Hi browsers of Buy Sell Trade! I've decided I'll sell my 100mW rated 473nm Pl-E Pro from Jetlasers. Nothing wrong with it, I just believe it could use a new home where it could get more use and appreciation. No point in me hogging this beautiful laser when someone else could want it...

I think that's how they make jet engines

Welcome to the forum, I hope you learn lots and have fun!

Great pics Blarg, they look even better at full res. I really liked photo #16ish in the imgur gallery, with the ice on the tree branches. Love when that happens, you captured it well.

Thankfully, so long as you can get some longer exposures, stars will be surprisingly visible even in pretty light polluted areas! On a light pollution map, I live in the worst ranking of light pollution, the area of my city is almost entirely white. On a clear night though, stars are pretty...

I love when those light pillars happen! Thanks for sharing Diachi, I would rep if I could, but I guess I need to nestle back in the community again ;)

Real beginner to soldering here too... All I have is a wood burning iron, no temp control or anything. Ain't pretty, but the job gets done. Sometimes I have problems with the solder's surface tension, too low and it makes spikes when I pull the iron away, or it will stay as a bead on the side of...

Lol, sometimes I forget it's the opposite season in the southern hemisphere. That's roasting! Just finally getting some snow and cold here, it's about -22°C today. We didn't have a white Christmas, it was a clear day, however Christmas Eve had the most perfect snowfall, and everything was a...
