I stacked 5 further videos of Saturn making 10 x 120s in all. Same details: #CFF160 🔭, #TeleVue 2.5x Powermate, #ZWO 585MC camera. By using masks, I was able to boost the brightness of the 5 visible moons without blowing out the planet. #astrophotography

Saturn showing rings and 5 moons (Titan, Tethys, Rhea, Enceladus, Dione)

Win-11 26H2 installed on three PCs here. Only issue so far was on a PC with an extra graphics card - the update didn't see it, so I just rebooted after a few minutes and the winver said 26H2. Hope it's OK! #windows #26H2

And finished! This is a really great book that explains the physics so well — easy to understand for all levels. An interesting and fun read. (I lol’ed when the programming chapter started with CH saying she wasn’t old enough to have ever used computer cards … but I am and did 👵 😆)

Working well, many thanks! Is there a link from Grid page to the Forecast which I haven’t yet spotted?

I think it unlikely but I don’t have the sonic option.

Oh what’s this seismic event? Magnitude 3.4 but very shallow. Is it something other than an earthquake? Lots of infrastructure off the Lincolnshire coast.

Looks really well matched with the portable operations you do, so I appreciate your opinion. Doubtless something more expensive will be better in some areas, but it’s a value judgement if the extra features justify the extra cost.

And is that radio any good? ATU required?

Sounds about what you would expect - “airport prices”. Ryans of Edinburgh: Full breakfast £14/£16 (and that is the works!), Tea £4. Located in the heart of Edinburgh.

On my 128 GB Android phone, Android 17 uses 11 GB, but ”Temporary system files“ takes 18 GB. But I don’t download films or TV programmes on the phone, that’s for my 256 GB iPad.

David Taylor @gm8arv.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I don’t know how it compares to previous releases. Perhaps, like a major upgrade on other OSes there’s a copy of the previous version to allow a roll-back in case of problems?

David Taylor @gm8arv.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Mine reports 21 GB iPadOS and 21 GB of system data. Slide to Closedown works, haven’t seen a keyboard problem yet, but most of my use is with a physical keyboard.
