I mostly chose Atik because their cameras are the smallest diameter compared to cameras with the same chip. Notably from QHY and StarlightXpress (I think those are the only 3 companies that make a small form factor icx814 camera). This is because I use Hyperstar on a C8, where the camera is in front of the corrector plate. It was also why I got an icx814 camera, to get the highest pixel density to match the aperture.
It looks odd, but works great. Even at my dark site I usually don't do longer than 5 minute exposures because Hyperstar will blow out the image with too much light.
The EdgeHD 8 has mirror locks, and they really don't help much. Tightening the locks can knock it out of focus, and they only help when the scope is slewing. I usually do only one target a night, so when the temperature changes, the locks do not help with shifting focus.
Atik 490ex mono, which is very similar to the QHY in size. You will love shooting mono, I just did my first narrowband last month and it was fantastic. I still need to figure out how to get the focus perfect, though. With so little light coming through on the narrowband filters, it is a bit harder to get the focus exact. One of these days I will get an autofocus motor.
I don't image at -20C in the summer though, its too damn warm out here and the cooler cant get it that low without killing the battery. But even at 0C I have never had a stuck pixel.
I have seen a lot of talk and images about the Soyuz the moved to a different docking port. They say it was to make room for this new craft. But that doesn't make sense to me. Couldn't the newly arriving Soyuz just park wherever the last one moved to? I believe there are 4 ports that can accept a Soyuz (there is a Progress cargo ship currently occupying a port as well).
No, because most of economics was not scientific. Economists would get a "feeling" of how it should be, then fudge the numbers to prove their theories.
Well, if by terrorist group she means keeping people constantly afraid that some immigrant is going to rape and kill them, and that we have to ship them all away...
Watch fox news for about 10 minutes, and there will be some fear-mongerer there.

We all have rfid implants, and set up scanners everywhere? Because how would you know the visitors from the residents unless you track everyone?
Even if this wasn't a giant affront to rights, how would he even expect to technically implement this?
Do republicans really go apeshit for this kind of complete fantasy bullshit? So much for "freedom 'murcia." (oh right, freedom only applies to people born here that are christians)
I have a high-end Sony astronomy cooled CCD camera with the icx814 sensor. The thing is unbelievable. 3.69m pixels, 10 minute dark exposures (that is, exposures with the lens cap on for calibration purposes), and not a single pixel gets illuminated. I have never seen another camera perform this well.
Even a lot of Nikon designed sensors are manufactured by Sony. They are just that good at it.
I think I will wait for the a7sII to come out then pick up a used/refurbished a7s. I would rather have a D800s, but it is too damn expensive.
That being said, I think the Nexus 5 really was the best looking phone on the market when I bought one. Mostly because it did not have that goofy curved back that some Samsung phones have, nor that absurdly large bezel that Motorola has. I hope the Nexus 5mkII looks the same.
I just looked at the page, and yes, I was wrong, it was April 2013.
Not sure where you get August 22nd at, but I am looking at the updates tab of the kickstarter. And that was talking about stuff from the cancelled FPS mode. The entire last page of comments was from people asking if this is a scam.
Its pretty easy to have a fake badge that looks real enough to a passing car. Now, once you are stopped if the guy does the old "flash it for just a second" when you ask to see the badge, and refuses to hold it for inspection. Whelp, time to GTFO, and call the real police.
But in that case it is the operator not the auto-drive car that is making the decision.
Don't worry, a wave of people that desperately want Star Citizen to be a success are going to come in and downvote you to hell and make a bunch of anonymous posts shit-talking you.
I would be happy if it succeeds, and would probably buy it if it does; but I did not put any money into the kickstarter as I suspect it will at best woefully under-deliver.
My guess is that it will be the 38 Studios of 2016. It could have been good, but was consumed by it's own funding success.

It costs pretty much the same amount to launch the thing with one person as three, so might as well give people from other countries a ride.

I thought your title was "B5". I was thinking, "Yeah, but the crew of Babylon 5 could take their com badges off if they did not want to be tracked."

I find hate speech on facebook useful. It shows me who is no longer my friend and can be unfollowed.
Nobody is forcing anyone to follow racists and bigots on facebook, You can simply block them and go on with your life.
I have never had problems with it on the N5. As Steve Jobs would say... maybe you are holding the phone wrong. :)
There is a new version of the Nexus 5 coming out this fall. I plan on getting one.
You can also get a brand new Nexus 5 on ebay for about 200 bucks. The new version will probably be 350 or so.

Many DSLRs use Sony CMOS sensors. They are also the king of low-noise CCD sensors.
I can see you do not own an iPhone either.

Yeah, you might want to think about how you word that.

USS Enterprise sized? Now that is impressive!
Comments with shorter subjects get more replies.
Damnit!
Exactly. Or there is an emergency or disruption that requires manual control of traffic.

I suppose it doesn't need to. The car would stop if any person was just standing in the road. No need for gestures.
Just looked... no updates since April? Ok, make that the 38 Studios of 2015, my guess is they have already ran away with the money.

No chemicals(?), "natural hydrogen peroxide"(?), an app... for laundry(?), some kind of arduino shit?
Hell, I think this one managed to hit every single automatic kickstarter success item on the list.
Also, I am pretty sure it does nothing at all.
