Norrbotten primarily, they also use the term småplättar for what everyone else calls plättar :)

In most of the country yes, but there are areas where they insist that Plättar is what the rest of us call pannkakor, and pannkaka refers to ungspannkaka.

In Sweden we can them Pannkakor, or in some parts of the country Plättar.

Unlikely as it opened in 2022…

Time to grab sungloc.to instead?

I learned about it here on Lemmy, when needed I just google it

Until a couple of months ago it was illegal in Sweden for a restaurant owner to allow spontaneous dancing if they did not have a dancing permit. Since July this year they don’t have to apply for a permit but still have to notify authorities about arranged dancing.

I’m using anytype.io, it’s been pretty neat so far.

These we taken in northern Sweden. It doesn’t really matter where you are as long as you are far enough north and the sky is dark and clear.

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.

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.

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.

Two things help a lot:

• Tracking, either with a proper telescope mount or as I did, a star adventurer. You align it using the pole star, then it rotates the same speed as earth, counteracting the rotation so the sky stays in the same location relative to your camera.
• Stacking, even with tracking I typically dont get longer than 1-3min exposures. So instead take multiple and stack the images in software. This image is 14x 100s exposures.

But, even without any of those, I’ve taken images of the Orion Nebulae with just a tripod. It will be a lot blurrier and noisier and generally worse, but its pretty cool to see it show up anyway.
