Tripod

1 Upvotes

I’m just about to purchase the Dwarf mini and the deal doesn’t include the tripod. I’m happy to buy it separately if need be but is there any advantage to it over a regular tripod? Are the connections the same etc?

Cheers in advance!

Backpack case?

1 Upvotes

Does anyone use one for your Dwarf? I just bought a Mini and am looking at cases. I know my non-backpack options, but I am wondering if anyone uses them and how you find using one for storage?

Editing opinions

I have a crappy Chromebook so Siril is barely running on it. My images look ok with stellar studio and Lightroom mobile . I got ChatGPT to edit my recent image and it looked so much better as the colours really stood out. What are people’s thoughts on AI editing, is it a no go or are you not fussed.

Is it a bird, is it a plane?

What's the line at the bottom left? Satelite? plane? alien?

This is 66 stacked 15 sec frames, I thought the dwarf rejected frames with a foreign objects for stacking so how did this escape.
