I just ordered a 28mm after reading up on it. Next lens will be an 85mm. I’m spending so much money on stuff and have absolutely no clue what I’m doing lol.

lol it gets addicting, I used to have so many lenses but now just have 4. The great thing as well is that lenses hold their value. I bought my ef 35mm f2 used for 400 and sold it earlier this year for 380. Paid 800 for my 24-105mm back in 2017 and sold it this year for 550. Even my old 6d bought it for 1000 in like 2015 and sold it this year for 400

I mentioned this earlier this year, went to an Astro Imaging Conference, ordered a Seestar S50 mini smart telescope, finally came in. Really nice shockproof case, carbon tripod, and solar filter. It has a fixed 250mm lens on it, everything is controlled via the app, has its own wifi network, BT, 6hr battery life, voice feedback for operation, and portable. Fully automatic setup, rotates on the tripod, and pivots up and down. Cold as hell right now at 29 degrees, otherwise I'd be outside with it. Gotta find a location without all the city and business lights to get some night sky star shots.

That's the flash I use. I'm biased but it's the goat to me I'll only use v1 or a round head flash from now on

I'm more into visual astronomy, but if I every wanted to get into astrophotography, I'd absolutely this over spending thousands to adapt my current scope. Please post photos.I mentioned this earlier this year, went to an Astro Imaging Conference, ordered a Seestar S50 mini smart telescope, finally came in.

I'm just getting into this, seen some serious setups at the conference, didn't wanna spend 5 figures. I definitely will post some photos, gonna try some star gazing this weekend.

I just hope they eventually add an Equatorial mount setting. Any tripod with a Tilt lever can be used as a wedge to polar align the Seestar. This allows for longer exposure shots with little cost to the user. The Dwarf II has this feature.
From what I seen and heard ZWO plans on adding quite a few update to the Seestar. I'm using the tripod that came with it for now, I want to use my camera tripod cause it bigger, I had to order a 3/8" Arca swiss plate as all my camera plate have the 1/4 threaded screw. I took it out tonight and got some moon shots but there was too much cloud cover for them to be clear. Check the link below, I posted some shots further down the page from the conference back in April, nice hardware there:

Hoping i can get back on my grind this year and do a little more TFP. I took it easy last year and lowkey i got tired of dealing with potential clients and models.
