A few days ago, there was an announcement, but no download notice. What's the catch?

This will be a start of my hopefully random daily photo display if luckily I catch good ones somewhere, sometime. Yes, I am just a hobbyist and fun is my pursuit. So here goes!

Recently I have been using z8 to run/experiment AP (Astrophotography). The latest try came out as a fail with Siril's Full image processing (pre-processed with scripts). The process stopped at the star register. After checking out the conversed working files (.fit), I found they all contain two...

This is my first attempt at imaging a Planet—Jupiter. It's not a great shot, but it is at least recognizable with three of its four moons. 300% magnified

I was experimenting with catching the North American Nebula with z8+z105mm (without tracker). I didn't know where the NAN was exactly in the dark sky but saw it from Stellarium was close but higher than Vega in the direction between W and NW. So I just aimed in that direction and saw massive...

Yeah, stuck in Lodi again! This time I present the Lodi Lake (and Pig Lake) with its area residents. It is a city park with a natural reserve setting. Two lakes are connected by a nature trail along the Mokelumne River. For people, wading, swimming, and diving are forbidden at the river. But...

Hi, I had this strange issue on my z6ii when I tried to use some raw images (nightscape) shot in Oct 2022 for an experimental stacking run with Siril. Since I did not shoot darks, biases, and flats in 2022, I must make up before running Siril (by following a tutorial). So I set up my z6ii with...

Hi, I am looking into acquiring a good star tracker for astrophotography. I have Benro Polaris in mind now (it attracts me because of its many uses and automation besides deep space features, but must work with a phone is a killer to me). Still need others' experience using their star trackers...

Has anyone used this PRC (Pre-Release Capture) function (Z cameras) in the field (e.g., wildlife)? What are your settings and how do you implement the function? How do you go back to your original (default) non-PRC shooting mode when you need to? If you use BBAF only, how do you get "PRC"? Hope...
