Stopping down doesn't always give you sharper images. You may run into diffraction softening.

Focusing and then stopping down may shift your focal plane. Try to focus at your chosen aperture.

Try to use the electronic shutter function for astro photography. Even the shutter moving across the sensor can cause vibrations.

The 500 rule is useful for astro, but with modern higher resolution sensors, the NPF rule is better suited.

Not getting amazing astro shots? You may need to modify or buy a camera that is sensitive to Hα (Hydrogen-alpha) removing the infrared/IR filter off your camera will allow you to shoot full spectrum. Although you will need something to only allow 450 to 520nm and from 640 to 690nm into your sensor.

Sensors will always have dead or stuck pixels. You can take 10-20 black frames to try to help your image processor find and erase them.

Optical vignetting is common when you shoot wide open. Stop down 2-3 stops from your max aperture to try and remove the effect.

Shooting expired film is fine, just make sure you over expose 1 stop per decade it's expired. So a 20 year old film, shoot 2 stops over exposed.

Deutsch Bahn would like a word.

I often take my car because it's so damn unreliable.

Not once, not twice, but three times I've sat on a train for 2+ hours without moving within the past 2 years.

I would say it's about 6-10% slower than the 5800X3D. Everything else is identical except the clock speeds

Is the 5700X3D not an opinion for you?

we will never fully trust the Americans again

I grew up thinking that the US would be feverishly proving that they have the best Intel, best weapons, best military... All for it to crash down in what 2 months or even less?

Wild how things can change so much in a blink of an eye.

I just wish pebble was still a thing. I miss my pebble time 2.
