Thanks Paco! I've been doing quite a lot of research into the topic and i think i'm going to get a Williams Optics RedCat 51 or equivalent telescope and probably just snag a Canon T3i and take out the filter on my own. The only thing i don't really know how to do is stack the images (i know theres a program that does it automatically for you) but the color correction in Photoshop etc are probably going to be the hardest part in my opinion. By the way considering what you had to work with at the time that's a really great photo of Saturn! I tried taking some of Jupiter a long time ago and totally failed since it was much too bright for my cell camera lol.

Yeah i knew all of this already been studying up on everything that i can before i try and dive right in. I already have some good ideas for Bortle 4 skies which is about as good as it gets in Charleston. And yeah i actually purchased the premium Stellarium phone app.

Those aren't mine you dumb fuck "Here's an example of some wonderful Astrophotography done by AstroBackyard on Youtube after it's been stacked and processed:" And if i started it wouldn't be a job or anything. It would be all hobby level stuff until i get a degree for physics/astronomy.

Yeah it can be, probably going to get a Canon Rebel t3i and a nice Refractor telescope and just get some really nice landscape lenses.

*EDIT* There has been some confusion as to which photos are mine and which are not so to help curb that confusion for those of you who don't read lmao. RED post = These images are not taken by me and are either provided as an example for what is possible with the gear i'm buying or an object i have photographed and wanted to show what a higher quality image looks like. They will also be in Spoilers just to make sure people understand anything in red and in a spoiler IS NOT MY WORK IT IS SOMEONE ELSES!!!! GREEN post = An image taken, edited, and posted by myself. I am not here to take credit for anyone else's images. I really just want to share the love of Astronomy with you all. Looking to get in to Astrophotography in the near future and was wondering if i should take the time to post any really good pictures here on the forums or not? I personally don't like posting things that are super off-topic too often but maybe i can make a thread for myself and others to share. Also this wouldn't start like tomorrow or anything it would take some time for me to learn the camera and image stacking/post-processing to bring out the light since usually it's much too faint to see normally unless you have an amazingly clear night and perfect exposure times.

Gz to @Nick and @Sky funny how i said it would be cool if the two of you got it. Even if one of you is a wanna be ghandi

The 50 cal penetrates like a mad man yeah i know it takes some thinking from the rebels to realize why it's so overpowered.

Yeah because SGTs and below can shoot 1km + with the weapons they are provided on a target that can move the second you even start getting close.

I mean to be honest the 50 cal is a fucking 1km+ fully automatic sniper rifle. Of course people are going to complain when you have the ability to hover an Orca 1km out with a 50 cal shitting on everyone and everything that moves.

Downing rounds as they're* (Fuck you @Jake) called not "Knockdown rounds" do the same amount of damage as normal rounds they just have a thresh hold i "think" it's like 5hp or something where they will instead of killing you heal you and down you. So literally it's like a 5hp advantage and you can get back up and shoot more cops if they don't restrain you/lethal you in time. They are literally absolute cancer 90% of the time when fighting a group of rebels because no matter what you do unless you down a majority of the enemy all you're doing is eliminating a shooter for a minute and they are right back up shooting. Also i don't know what you're expecting from Asylum but it's not some crazy RP GTA server or anything. It's literally "Hey i want to kill you" the other person either saying "Please don't" or "Ok you can try" you fight and whoever wins goes and find someone else to kill. There is no "Valuing your life" or anything here unless you are a cop you aren't supposed to commit suicide basically and that's about it.

Reposted due to @Jake and his admin abuse No.

And i thought mine was a great snipe... you fucked that thing from like 200 meters... fuuuucking hell shit was funny

I won't forget when I was a SGT Hunters were slow pieces of shit and were either used on patrol for the memes or to push/disable rebel vehicles/positions. Idk what you're complaining about all you have to do is get on the highway and drive faster than 100km/hr and the Hunter would quickly be lost. Back to the post, honestly the cop slot is stupid imo. Yes you may have 18 cops online but first off the rebels make the decision 90% of the time to take a fight to the cops so the whole "Wahhh 4 rebels to 18 cops at a bank" shit is stupid you decided to take that fight. Most of the time, before I un-installed the game, I wanted to play cop i'd load up the game look and see if there was a cop slot for like 5 minutes get bored because they were all full and just close the game not to mention there are people who HAVE to play to keep their rank... it's just stupid.

Watch in a the next year or so @HomeTrlx is going to set Mitch's house on fire and mysteriously become the new owner. The past always repeats lmao jk jk grats HomeTrix you german fuck.

Unfortunately thats just experience like you said. I know of places so stupid that you'd never expect to be shot from etc so yeah it will just take time.

Myself, DarkKnight, Volunteer281, Coltonb204, Dick Romney, Akeelagi, Yu Sheng, Nino Brown, Nick, Brendon Smith, Quattro, Vanilla, Wade Wilson, Lacie?, Green Demon, etc. Basically all the ex p3-p4 higher ups play. Pretty sure some of the old Bratva guys play/used to play as well haven't really talked to any of them in a loooong time tho. If you're looking to learn the game DeadlySlob and Pestily's vids are going to be a massive help. Wish they made vids on how to play back when i first started... took me around a whole wipe and a half to really start to get every little thing down.

Oof shoulda waited til the end of the month to post this some LT looking for activities is gonna looooove this.

The new anticheat has been in-game for a while now. I have only seen a couple of cheaters since then. It used to be almost 1/10 raids on shoreline you'd find a cheater and like 1/3 in labs it was ridiculous. But now i think i've done probably 50-60 shoreline runs since and no cheaters and maybe like 1 factory run that was super sketch and a couple interchange but hard to tell since you can get shot from literally anywhere on interchange. And i CANT WAIT for the new Unity engine.

For all of you who play Tarkov and haven't seen the new patch trailer yet

I mean to be honest why are you trashing on someone for trying to share their music? If you don't like it then good for you. I'm sure Eazy isn't expecting a major record label to see his songs posted on a Arma 3 forum but who cares if he wants to share his music then let him share. There are plenty of other musicians in the community that may appreciate the time and effort it takes to make music. Shit i myself have only recreated other peoples songs and shits is hard as fuck and super time consuming and I've played my fair share of instruments and taken my fair share of music/band classes through the years so what Eazy, Roice, and DarkKnight do with music is not an easy thing to pull off.

You should read the previous comments i explained a little bit of a possibility. Guns find their ways into hands who want/need them regardless of laws if people are willing to supply them. Also China has only gone through like 42 (exaggerated) dynasties through the hundreds of years just because Mao claimed and established power is the same as the Qing, Song, Zhou, etc dynasties just because the communists hold power now doesn't make China forever a communist nation.

I never said the aftermath was a success. Were there nations that benefited greatly from US involvement? Of course there were... were there countries where we implemented a US supported government and it was either later abolished or just didn't work out? Of course look at Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran. It's not so much that a "majority" of Chinese people are living good lives. It's that a minority are and then through censorship and limited information make the majority think if they keep working and support the Chinese government unequivocally that they will eventually be able to live a wealthy and fulfilling life too. +1 on the brainwashing though i 100% agree... after decades and decades of Chinese officials exclaiming that Tibet, HK, and Taiwan are "rogue nations" that are stealing from the Chinese population of course people will believe it ESPECIALLY when your source of information is also your source of money, food, and water. Yes I understand that the USA normally only intervenes when it is either useful or provides a political advantage, when you think though China and Russia are the two largest competitors to the USA right now. If we were able to kick China out of the running with a coup you don't think the US govt wouldn't support it? The Chinese people ARE more nationalist than anyone except maybe the Japanese, but it's not like China hasn't booted their government before. Shit China has performed more civil wars and revolutions than any one else in the world. The Chinese people are being exploited and subjugated by the hands of their government who are the only ones to profit. China as a country is doing great economically and militarily. Unfortunately for the Chinese people their country rakes in a 12 trillion GDP but their GDP per capita is around $8,900 while the American GDP per capita is $59,500. Trust me capitalism is alive and well and doing much better than China our citizens on average produce 6x more GDP per year than the Chinese who have around 4x the population of the USA meaning they should have around a 48 trillion a year GDP if they were performing the same as the USA per capita.

If 1% of those people banded together and asked for help from the USA, India, UK, France, Canada, Australia, Germany, Italy, etc we could provide the means. They have to really WANT it though. We have funded so many coups and uprisings in the past and given Chinas history of war crimes and violations of human rights we could justify the supply of arms to India for rebels to take across the border. Pertinent to the list below obviously overthrowing a large Government like the Communists in China would be extremely difficult but it has been done before. The Chinese people are some of the bravest, intelligent, vicious, and frankly insane group of people basically ever to walk the earth. The Chinese people have kicked ass for over a thousand years i doubt a few decades of poverty and oppression changed much in that department. a list of coups and rebellions we have supplied/funded/assisted in the past: An * means it was successful. China 1949 to early 1960s Albania 1949-53 East Germany 1950s Iran 1953 * Guatemala 1954 * Costa Rica mid-1950s Syria 1956-7 Egypt 1957 Indonesia 1957-8 British Guiana 1953-64 * Iraq 1963 * North Vietnam 1945-73 Cambodia 1955-70 * Laos 1958 *, 1959 *, 1960 * Ecuador 1960-63 * Congo 1960 * France 1965 Brazil 1962-64 * Dominican Republic 1963 * Cuba 1959 to present Bolivia 1964 * Indonesia 1965 * Ghana 1966 * Chile 1964-73 * Greece 1967 * Costa Rica 1970-71 Bolivia 1971 * Australia 1973-75 * Angola 1975, 1980s Zaire 1975 Portugal 1974-76 * Jamaica 1976-80 * Seychelles 1979-81 Chad 1981-82 * Grenada 1983 * South Yemen 1982-84 Suriname 1982-84 Fiji 1987 * Libya 1980s Nicaragua 1981-90 * Panama 1989 * Bulgaria 1990 * Albania 1991 * Iraq 1991 Afghanistan 1980s * Somalia 1993 Yugoslavia 1999-2000 * Ecuador 2000 * Afghanistan 2001 * Venezuela 2002 * Iraq 2003 * Haiti 2004 * Somalia 2007 to present Honduras 2009 * Libya 2011 * Syria 2012 Ukraine 2014 *

Funny a 1.35 billion civilian population and a military of around 3 million but they are still all being oppressed by a Communist regime. Doesn't sound like many Chinese citizens are really trying to be free.
