Not sure why she persists, as the youngsters are well developed and more than capable of getting their own tucker!

K-3 Mark III, DFA 150-450 handheld. See exif for shot detail.

Cheers,
Terry

Nice shot Terry

No different than having 18 year olds still living at home

Well almost. it was 8h 45m 20s (1576 shots each of which was 20s in length). That actually isn't an unreasonable amount of shots as I have seen some images with about 700 hours worth of shots that people have taken of different things. Granted they are using an equatorial with an autoguider so instead of individual shots being 20s like mine are theirs are in the 300s range each but one makes do with what they have.

Gee Craig, are you trying to make the rest of us feel inadequate?

Chickadees. Decided to cancel my DA560 order from a few weeks ago and went for the K-3 Mark III instead. So far pretty happy.
