Full zoom on the Mini3Pro, in high winds.

What's it listening to?

Outer Space
Listening for signs of Extra-terrestrial intelligence.

Brilliant shot looks really good

Thanks. I was pleased with that - the Mini3Pro overcame the conditions pretty well, I thought.

Your tax pounds at work ;-)

ET used it to Phone Home

Brilliant capture Mr. B.    The Mini 3 Pro always seems to perform at a category well above it's weight class.  

SETI's Breakthrough Listen project is a prime example of using advanced AI in a positive way.  Seems they are able to analyze large amounts of radio data from space to identify potential signals that could indicate the presence of intelligent life.  Might even be able to find our where ET came from.

Thanks Aleks.  I was hoping for more but the wind was just too strong.

Your welcome and it does look a nice day for flying despite the wind

The sunshine this week has been a welcome improvement, for sure.

The weather is looking good for this weekend hopefully light winds as well enjoy yours

It certainly is and another reason I didn't see a need to upgrade to the Mini 4 Pro.  The Flip's design is just way too ugly so I'm holding out to see what eh Mini 5 Pro will bring to market.  Providing we can still buy Chinese drones by that time.  Between the still pending ban possibility and the 25% tariff (rumored to go up to 55%)  it may no longer be a brand I can buy.

We have to hope that sanity will eventually prevail.

It's a crazy place we live in at this time.  Is it 2029 yet.

Well, you've got 4 years to find the solution  - unless someone find a better one sooner

Great shot,  did you go in too?

There are lots of suggestions being circulated around.

On a different note my neighbor loaned me his hog trap and I had success already.  Not sure this is the same boar I saw on my trail cam as he appears a bit smaller.  So I'm going to keep the trap up for a few more days.

No, it was a spur of the moment thing after we'd been somewhere else.
And we were en route to our picnic spot at Alderley Edge.
And a look into the cave

One for the pot?

According to my butcher he is big enough to get plenty of bacon, ham and a few tenderloins.

Too bad you aren't closer as I'd be willing to share as I'm not sure where I will store all that meat or even be able to eat it all.  I may drop some off to the homeless shelter if they are willing to accept it.

That's a great solution for the surplus

I just got off the phone with them and they said they would be happy to take as much of the meat as I'm willing to donate.  Now if I could only catch that bigger boar I saw on the trail cam.  

you mean abstract from sphere? nice shot btw

No, that was a screengrab from a segment of video.

Yes, it was.

Blériot53 Posted at 3-9 00:12

yeah. so i thought it may have been a raw from the sphere.

No. After the 360 was completed (3rd attempt, due to the wind)  I switched back to video mode for the flight back to the TOAL point.

Ok sure, glad you still got it.

Yesterday's outing was entirely different.
Same weather conditions though - sunny but fiercely windy.
