Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Astro-Photography.... quality of yoyr pictures is:
10% skill 90% how much you spend on equipment.
Yup yup. The cheapest stuff you can find for the hobby will still set you back several hundred dollars, and you'll be doing the equivalent of doodling with crayons. I do not regret buying a Celestron Astromaster 130EQ, but I'm also fully aware of why people call this thing a hobby killer
If you are able to hack some ground satellite dishes, it becomes 99% skill and 1% how much you spend.
$12k for a pier-mounted SB mount? Sure, why not
Leave my recent "$20k and 80 hours of frustration for not getting parts you find out later you'll need" upgrade out of this!
