Fuckin beautiful

How did you get started?

ludw OP ,

Thanks!

I had a camera, a telephoto lens and a tripod, got some initial results and started looking into improvements :)

The astrophotography reddit was a great place to learn as well. Not sure if there’s still any life there or if it’s gone the way of most of Reddit…

apigban ,

It seems to be an expensive hobby based on my initial searches in amazon. high barrier to entry but I think I can make it work in 2 years.

I do self hosting/de-googling/homelab but my daughter is too young to be involved in it, I think astrophotography would be a good thing for us.

I fell in love with the thought of seeing things beyond, my daughter loves learning about satellites and space trash (I’m not sure why exactly).

Thank you!

ludw OP ,

Yeah, it can be pretty expensive. Some tips:

  • figure out if you want a photography kit you can also use for astrophotography or something more dedicated to astrophotography like a telescope you can put a camera in.
  • camera equipment is a lot cheaper used.
  • A lot of deep space objects are most visible in infrared, a camera without IR filter can capture this but wont be much use for anything else.
  • the old astrophotography reddit is a great place to learn about equipment tradeoffs as all photos are posted with equipment details. Makes it easier to learn what you can realistically capture and what requires 10x your budget.

MoonlitKnight , to mildlyinfuriating in No Google, that is not how you convert meters into feet.

It seems to be interpreting the m to indicate million and in to be inches

It seems the unit was changed, look below the numbers

But it wasn't. I get the same result for this exact query. It seems to be like explained in another answer: Google interprets the "m" as million and the "in" as inch, so it gives you just some conversion for 17 million inches. It's a bit random here how Google interprets things. "17.21 m in" (that one really could mean 17 million inches) is correctly taken as a meter-inch conversion, while "17.21m in" does a conversion from 17.21 meters to kilometers (where are they coming from?).

Oooh a ragdoll? Very beautiful!

Viking_Hippie ,

I wonder if it’s true what Steven Tyler says about this one living in a movie. Definitely so fine.

rr7 OP ,

Is is indeed a ragdoll :)

devil_d0c ,

My MIL has one of those, biggest cat I ever saw. A pretty boy, but a big boy for sure!

cam_i_am ,

Yah they get big. I have 2 ragdoll boys, they’re both about 5kg, which I think is pretty average.
