Without checking on Stellariun first, the FOV all looks about right to me. The physical dimensions of the sensor is what factors into the FOV so 2 full-frame sensors with the same lens create the same FOV. But the higher res sensor will have more detail recorded. From practical experience...

I never saw the comet with my eyes on the 17th, but was able to locate it in the camera viewfinder of my Z5. Very light-polluted scene, but the spot was full of other astrophotographers also. We apparently all shared the same idea. First image is an exposure stack with an extra layer of...

I am using the phone to view Clovis, but Venus is lower on the horizon than the comet. The comet is above and left of the sun as it sets. It is moving further from the sun and dimming each day. But looking at stellarium I believe the comet was way out of your frame up and to the right. Edit: I...

If you see the remote light up, the problem is something else. There is no IR receiver on the back of the camera. Just one on the front as the wireless remote was just supposed to be for taking selfies from a tripod. The wired remote releases are far more useful in my experience and cost about...

I think it comes down to megapixels. Most of the other still photography features are not going to be overly different, but the D3100 is only 14MP versus 24MP with the others. You will notice that sort of difference in the detail, if you hold the camera steady enough. When I moved from 10MP D80...

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...
