I love catching ISS transits with my Sony and 600mm lens. Bit it still requires a good bit of cropping and a loss of quality.

I‘d like to get a basic telescope to get the whole moon in frame but just a little tighter. I may also get into solar photography as well later on. I don’t plan on doing much else with a telescope.

My Sony cameras works great for what I need it for but I don’t know much about telescopes. I looked into a 127mm scope on Amazon but I have no clue how tight that field of view would be and what else it may need. Any help would be appreciated.

I have been having discomfort with my testicles and general genital area after riding an Ebike pretty hard the first week I got it. I think I damaged the nerve a little. But then I found a lump on my left testicle. I got so scared I didn't touch it anymore than the first touch.

I went to the VA clinic and saw a doctor. After his exam he immediately sent me to get an ultrasound. I asked if it was a cyst but he said it was extremely concerning. I could tell he was very worried. He said the lump was large and tough. So I just accepted my fate then and there. I told the tech that I was not doing good knowing I probably had some bad new for my father on father's day. She calmed me down and within a few moments said she didn't think I was going to have a bad day afterall. She did a very thorough scan. And even showed me what she saw. A rather large cyst next to a very healthy testicle. The doc then talked to me and said I basically have 3 testicles. The cyst is about 75 percent the size of my testicles. I have to see my PC later. I want to get it removed because it isn't comfortable.

But the relief I felt from accepting I had a very serious problem to being able to make a joke about it, man it was crazy.

I hope the best for my brothers on here. Stay strong.

So about 3 weeks ago I got an E bike, rode it pretty far the first week. Then I go on a road trip, driving around the country. But was already having discomfort with my testes pulling up tight, and basically "just got out of the pool" syndrome. I had discomfort from sitting for too long in the seat of my pants. The first week of the trip was uncomfortable but the second week it started getting better, sack was loosening up. But I just didn't feel like it was back to normal. Everything is working. I can pee and it does the other stuff too.

But tonight I was adjust my sack to get comfortable and felt a lump on top of my left testicle. I instantly got scared. I felt again to confirm something is there. It doesn't hurt. It's about a pea size. I can't bring myself to touch again. I have health anxiety, it can be pretty strong if you don't know what that's like. I have no other symptoms except my sack isn't always relaxing. No pain really. I have VA healthcare. I have to try tomorrow to get it checked. I have no idea how to do that besides calling. I wish I could have it done tomorrow. Anything just to know for sure. I have feared getting cancer for a long time. I don't have a wife or kids but I am an uncle and want to be around for a bit longer.

Edit: I am wondering if it may be a spermatocele. I have never heard of these until tonight.

I just got this bike. It's been sitting for a minute I can tell. The rear brakes are strong but the front brake are useless. I'm used to old cheap mountain bikes so I don't know how to adjust these to make them work better.
