Interesting message. What kind of device is this displayed on? Coffee mug? Heart monitor? Adult toy? Corn harvester? Perhaps some kind of camera device?

It is hard to say @nikonpup. I am leaning toward clouds, perhaps noctilucent clouds. But it could be Aurora lower to the horizon. On the 10th I saw many other people share photos with red/magenta Aurora up high and green lower to the horizon. It was that way in the Great Lakes region at least...

I think he is referring to fake text posts created by AI. Actually the best camera for photography question you replied in has the classic structure of AI and looked suspicious to me. It can be difficult to spot that being in a different culture.

Stellarium is a Linux project and ported to Windows and Mac. Kind of surprised your version would be crippled. When the sensor specs are entered right for your camera, the telescope selected shows as the box, which is the estimated field of view. It is very close based on past projects. I never...

Q1 answer: That is framed for a telescope/camera mounted on an equitorial mount with no ball-head. This is the framing I require on my setup. But if you are using a star-tracker with a ball-head attached for the camera, then you also have independent adjustment to square to the horizon if you...

Canvas prints lose some detail due to the texture in the media. They also look flatter in color. Just use the largest file you can upload without upscaling. The print service will wind up scaling and cropping to fit.

I will throw in my thoughts, but there is not anything radically different. You have motion blurring going on. For the sports action, it is crucial to take control of shutter speed and not let the camera guess your setting. It is a good time to use the Shutter Priority mode if you are not...

Another thought: you mention only using some other lens and noticing a change switching to a 24-70mm Nikon lens. That often changes colors too. It is part of the "vintage look" people talk about with using old lenses. Pre-digital lenses have different optical coating treatments. I have photos...

I have been trying to understand your question here. It is difficult because you are comparing your color in your photo to some other photos taken by 2 other photographers. Color is not a static thing. It is subjective to the person looking at it. Add to that that about 10% of the male...

10-stop filter is much darker than I have used for anything other than photographing the sun directly. On several waterfall photos, I find 4 seconds will blur the water to a mist. Two seconds is more dynamic. I imagine that slower-motion waves on a beach is going to take longer. This is all a...

I'm likely writing this too late for consideration. But here goes. Refurbished means it was given basic tests following a customer return, repaired if they actually found an issue, and repackaged to sell. Many refurbs go back for sale after passing the quick tests without any repair. My...

For outdoor field sports in general, you will want to get as much telephoto reach as you want to budget for. Consider a 70-300mm zoom lens to be the minimum. There are many out there to choose from. The last one I sold in trade for another lens I think I got a whole $35 in credit for. You should...

First off, the calibration shots are not required in SIRIL. They just potentially filter out sensor noise and establish a better white/black reference. I have not done the calibration shots to date. For the file sizes, what comes to mind is new firmware or possibly using one of the crop modes...

I hate to bring this up, but it could be the OS. Sometime after I updated my PC from Win10 to 11 the built-in SD card reader stopped recognizing any card. I wish I could recall how I finally fixed it, but I had started using a USB plug-in reader. Then that stopped reading cards also. Out of...

Welcome, look forward to seeing your work!

The only thing better than good music or a pun is a good musical pun!

VFW Post 8483 Madison, WI Not certain, but I may try this again more in the 30-40mm focal range so the background will compress more.

Isn't the T-adapter required to mount on a telescope? So you list a combination of things that are going to each introduce motion blurs. I did not even mention possibility of the lenses in the telescope fogging either. I would have a hard time advising past that without observing what you're...

Perhaps reload the firmware on a freshly-charged battery. At least take that point away from Nikon customer support as it usually is an early thing any manufacturer will try to use as an excuse.
