Pentax spotted in another star system!

**PJ1** · 04-04-2017, 04:12 AM

Watching "Stargazing Live" on ABC (Australia) tonight. There was a humorous piece on what life might be like on the newly discovered planet orbiting Proxima B. It was mostly sun (very red), sand and sea. But someone had a Pentax around their neck. No, not just a Pentax - it looked like a K1000 but the K.... was on the wrong side !! (It flashed by a bit too quickly.) I think it was young lady but I was too busy looking at the Pentax. Could this be the most distant Pentax that has ever been spotted?

Do they have a store that stocks Pentax on the shelves? Might be worth the trip. :P

I guess it wasn't possible until the observing camera was feature with astrotracer?

You need a new hobby if you focused on the camera and not the young lady!

1000K. Meh.

A 300K = 34C.

Perhaps I do but you must give me credit for a "young lady" ID on very limited clues. But I retrieved the show this morning. The K1000 is on the right side (yes, I would be a reliable eye witness). Pics now provided (taken with the Q and 01 - we are light years ahead of the primitives on Proxima B!).
