Sorry - still both quite poorly, so no new videos.
But it appears there are a whole load of rumours appearing appearing about new 180 MP medium format [33x44] sensors , so perhaps a Fuji GFX180 some time in a couple of years - and an X3D and Sony 100MP full frame
Seem I 'predicted' this a year ago when Sony bought out a 247MP industrial sensor

Don't expect anything for a couple of years at least...

Sorry nothing much happening on the channel - been rather more ill than I'd expected from my 'cold'... Will return when my voice does...
Meanwhile, two views of the North Sea... [Northumberland]

Some night time - [hand held] examples of shots with the TTArtisan 17mm F4 on the medium format GFX100S. Mostly shot at 3200 ISO and ~f/6.7

Epson ET-8550 firmware update info

Found out a bit more about this update. Nothing huge and no reason not to install it

Mostly minor fixes to correct general reliability and even things like a spelling mistake in a display.

Good to see that even after 5 years such things are still being addressed. Remember that there is a limit to what can be 'fixed' in firmware.

Detail from last post showing M31 [r] and the faint smudge of M33 [l[
Very much a 'does this work' test. I'll be in Northumberland next week, so darker skies...
Edited after I mixed up M31 and 32 ;-)

I'm testing a new manual focus 12mm f/2.8 lens on my Canon R5 [initial review for its launch in a few days] but here is a shot of last night's sky from our new back garden. It's been 50+ years [chilled film days...] since I tried any astrophotography.

M31 is clearly visible and even M33 is visible in the full size image

16x 4 second exposures [f/2.8 1600 ISO] Stacked with SLS, sharpened with Nik Sharpener to bring out structure.
Not bad for 1.5miles from the centre of Leicester
