The time out is a bit of a pain, whether clearing your cache would help, heaven knows I just though about it but haven't tried it myself and since the problem is affecting everyone it seems it's more server side, host/server issues amdin should be able to get answers to on either independent forums with mention of vbulletin and version.


I used to be an admin at a large site some years back with 3,000,000 members world wide but members themselves and the site owner could come up with the issues and fixes. Sometimes it's a version update that can throw bugs out left right and centre. Thankfully I never had to deal with issues like this.
OK, it's an old version of VBulletin, I'll look and see if I can find any answers later and pass the info along. VB3.8.7 released August 2010.


The image is spectacular for the D600 though my dream was always to get the D610 till the 810 came up at a price I couldn't pass up with only 70,000 or thereabouts on shutter count. In near new condition cosmetically, someone who looked after his cameras as well as I look after mine (I still have a near new F601 and F801 here on my shelf).

I'm lucky on a pension to afford any of this stuff, the sky really is the limit I'm soon learning.
I have a 35mm Rokinon, purchased used but I can't achieve infinity focus at F1.4 (no comparison to the Sigma-art I know that). One day I''l find a fix on youtube or some other dumb site and strip the lens down and repair it myself, if I ever find said information. I found it for the 14mm, the 135mm but not the 35mm. Stopping down is always an option but that somewhat defeats the purpose f throwing money at an f1.4 lens for astro use.


Quick question, I recently saw a formula which throws the 500 rule out with the bath water and lists a 14mm maximum exposure time at 16.x seconds, would you happen to know this formula?
I lost the link I found it through.
Thanks!
Still, for an old fella in my 60s with bad eyesight I think my images are good enough to fool those who have no idea what they are looking at, including myself.
I would however love to play with a 35mm lens for the regions of the Milky Way.
