Yes, astrophotography. This is a bigger telescope than I had before. 203mm aperture, 2032mm focal length, f/10 native.
I finally got a chance to test it out for about an hour last night on Jupiter mostly visually. I looked at it at about 6100mm focal length @ f/30. It looked so awesome. I've never seen it that big and clear in person. I hooked the camera up for a bit but didn't go well due to the balcony being so shaky and Jupiter started going behind a tree by that time.
I'm hoping to get some more clear nights soon so I can give it a real go. Clear nights are truly a rarity these days here.

So that, it's crazy. It's also amazing how much such a tiny quake impacts NYC. We get those weekly and no one notices.

I wish... their guest wifi is pretty weak. But all servers have arrived safely at their new home, snuggled in an inch thick blanket of pallet wrap.

That can be a challenge. If they are close enough in details it could come down to the expected environment, and future challenges.
Best of luck.

Thanks. I'm waiting on final details for a couple, but don't expect one back till next week.
Glad I'm not worrying about finding work this time around!

Getting ready to go see one of the most amazing psychedelic rock bands of our time... EARTHLESS. They are playing a little dive bar in East Atlanta, and our whole band will be in attendance. If you have never heard of them, here's a clip from a Mojave desert concert during covid:
I wish the actual live footage of the band was on this, it's incredible.
