  • I would try going for it again with a bit less zoom in perhaps, about 500 frames for stacking and I’d keep the ISO at or below 3200 for an older camera, but 6400 is fine.

    Make sure to save in RAW and lock the white balance.

    As for better focusing, I found a 3D printing service near me and had them print me a Bahtinov mask for a couple of bucks, there’s a website that designs one for you and gives you a 3D printable file. You can also order one from Amazon for about 10 USD, generally pretty cheap.

    Good luck!












  • Yes, the Swedish diesel electric subs are really quiet and hard to detect in a war game scenario, but that is done with many artificial constraints to the defending CSG, which is tightly packed in a relatively small patch of ocean that the Swedish sub knew and could plan for.

    In reality those subs are stealthy only while traveling at 6 knots and the CSG can travel at 30 over vast expanses of water, with an effective strike range of 2000 miles.

    Also, in war they’re allowed to use high energy sonars that they can’t use in a war game because it kills marine animals, which will detect a turd floating 500 miles away (exaggerating here but you get the idea).
