A lot of images seems to be gone from posts in /c/pics is this related to the hack or the cleanup after?

Norway can be very rainy. I was in Bergen some years ago and the locals asked why I even came there as it has rained every day for like a month or something.
It does the job, but this lens is right at the limit of what it can do, especially with the guide scope as well. I also have the counterweight kit.
It's not super precise, some adjustments have a bit of play so it takes some finessing but it can produce pretty good results.
I haven't looked into is there's something better out there now however.
Swede reporting in: I think my last haircut was ca 450 SEK (~42USD), it's not customary to tip for haircuts here, in fact it would be quite weird.
Yeah, it can be pretty expensive. Some tips:
- figure out if you want a photography kit you can also use for astrophotography or something more dedicated to astrophotography like a telescope you can put a camera in.
- camera equipment is a lot cheaper used.
- A lot of deep space objects are most visible in infrared, a camera without IR filter can capture this but wont be much use for anything else.
- the old astrophotography reddit is a great place to learn about equipment tradeoffs as all photos are posted with equipment details. Makes it easier to learn what you can realistically capture and what requires 10x your budget.
It depends a bit on what equipment you have, but at least with my gear I don't see much even on individual 100s exposures until I post process to bring out what was captured.
I think it depends on what client you use. I haven't seen it in any Lemmy app but you can find Lemmy users with a Mastodon client and add a note, so I guess it's up to the various clients to implement.
Now that's a great idea 😀
Thanks!
I had a camera, a telephoto lens and a tripod, got some initial results and started looking into improvements :)
The astrophotography reddit was a great place to learn as well. Not sure if there's still any life there or if it's gone the way of most of Reddit...
Here's my first picture of this Nebula, it's just a 400mm lens and a tripod. One 2.5min exposure. 
Both Ducky and keychron have some prebuilt with hotswap. For example the Ducky One 3, you could get it with Red Silent switches and if someone really hates the feeling you can just get new switches and swap them out.
