Re: Some pix from yesterday... - 8 months ago
DP... I enjoy your photos posted above. Do the birds drop off loose change for the feed? Curious, being a newbie with some simple camera gear, I have a couple of questions: (1) Do you recall the lens and exposure settings for your moon shot? Nice picture. (I was playing around with moon shots late last year. Plan to get out there and try again sometime soon.) (2) Same questionby SKYLANE - Tips and Deals
Re: I finally got rid of that mac that I HATE! - 8 months ago
Quotehal I was one who dived into the Dell Mini craze many years ago. OMG! I was part of that craze too! That was a fun project although I didn’t have that computer very long. A friend of mine got laid off during that time and needed a computer, so I repurposed it back to Windows (his preference OS) and gave it to him so that he could use while job hunting.by SKYLANE - Tips and Deals

Re: The SR-71 Blackbird is still the fastest acknowledged crewed air-breathing jet aircraft - 8 months ago
I love visiting that A-12 aircraft at the California Science Center along with the Space Shuttle Orbiter Endeavour. The SR-71 and Space Shuttle Orbiter were a big part of my life. My dad spent most of his career programming, updating and maintaining software for the Nav System on the SR-71 until it retired. During much of my childhood, I never knew that since he couldn’t talk about it. Mostby SKYLANE - Tips and Deals

I don't venture into the logs at all, have not studied that area to see what information that I can get from them (I need to study and understand that area). So, in trying to answer your question, I am not quite sure what I am looking for or if I am even looking in the correct area. That being said, is the information I am looking for actually in the Diagnostics Report folder? What features inby SKYLANE - Tips and Deals
Re: 2014 Mac mini - TB2 Capabilities? - 9 months ago
Gareth... Thanks for the input on the configuration you had on your 2012 Mini. If I understand the configuration you described correctly, you had two docks daisy chained running off one TB1 port, with one 1440p connected to each? I was also wondering if i could do that with my two OWC hard drive docks (mentioned above), except mine would be running on Thunderbolt 2. I'll have to play arouby SKYLANE - Tips and Deals

Now that I know those details, I can better anticipate what FOVs I will see through the EF-S 24mm f2.8 and the EF 50mm f1.8 prime lenses by looking at similar focal lengths through my ZOOM lenses.
