I've seen a few reviews talking up this budget brand and praising how capable it is. For all I know they could have been paid to promote them.

It seems too good to be true that a $500 mount could perform similar to mounts that cost 3-4x as much.

Obviously buying from AliExpress is a risk in itself, but does anyone have any experience with these mounts? The portability and price are my two biggest selling points, something like the Star Adventurer GTI looks quite bulky, while something like the ZWO AM3 costs nearly $1000 more. Is it worth paying so much?

For info I'll probably be using my Samyang 135mm and a Sony a7iii for a while before I decide to invest more for a dedicated astro camera.

Thanks for any recommendations

Hi, unfortunately I've been diagnosed with cancer and now have chemotherapy on the day. I'm living in Switzerland so it will be impossible to make it which I'm bummed about but C'est la Vie.

I've put my ticket up for resale on Ticketmaster, I'm sure it won't last long so I hope whoever is lucky enough to go enjoys it and please have a beer or ten for me. Cheers 🍻

Ahoj, I'm looking for anyone or anywhere in Switzerland that makes a Czech pastry 'Větrník'. It's my wife's favourite food from home and I'd like to get her one for her birthday. I've usually attempted to make them for her the last few years to varying success but unfortunately this year I'm unable to due to a kitchen renovation. I know it's a longshot finding one in Switzerland but does anyone know of a Czech bakery that might be able to make it? I'm located in the Lucerne area but willing to travel anywhere (in Switzerland). Thankyou 🙏
