So, I decided to buy a SeeStar S30 digital APO camera/ telescope to get some deep space astrophotography.. wow! Even out of the box with no adjustment to any settings, the Andromeda galaxy blew me away!!

So it’s been a while since my last post…not sure if it’s procrastination, laziness or a combination of both. Things have changed, there’s a danger over there in the USA, which has been exacerbated by the company He keeps.
The world is changing, for the worse I fear!

Why is it that whenever the 1st December rocks up, it seems that a mathematical ratio kicks in of amount of cash spent to amount of stress experienced, on a proportional rising trend the nearer it gets to the 25 ?

Today’s choice of fountain pen, the Muji fine nib, black kaweco ink. Love the simplicity of this pen plus its precision engineering.

Almost a week on the new platform and to be honest, I’m very pleasantly surprised! Usually by now the internet trolls and spite monkeys have found a way in to spoil the party but it looks not to have been the case so far!
I’m preferring the eclectic approach I’ve started here, so what to post next?

Is anyone using one of these for their vinyl? Are they any good for a low budget purchase? #vinylsky #vinyl

#vinyl #community 1 by one turntables…looking at a replacement turntable that’s decent for the price. Are they worth it?
November 19, 2024 at 5:18 PM
Well, this is new! Looks a lot nicer than that other unmentionable “ social feed “… read: toxic environment!

#vinyl #community so after getting back into vinyl after a hiatus, bought an inexpensive JAM turntable only to find that the majority of new vinyl slips/jumps! No time arm adjustment nor cartridge choice available.., time got a better turntable? Old vinyl plays ok…
