It's a neat toy, so much stuff you can do. Kodi offers alot of learning tools. There is a guitar learning one that is cool. Streaming Radio stations is good too. I can't wait till they release Pi3 maybe next year. I bet it will be hella faster and this one is quite speedy. 3db you watching?

I run Kodi on my tower PC, in my HT rig.

My brother in law has been setting people up with Kodi on the Pi. The real advantage on that setup, most TVs have CEC or equivalent, so u can control Kodi with the TV remote! He has set up a parts list and instructions online. If you want a link, send me a PM.

I stayed up late last night to get a good view of Jupiter. I could see 4 moons, but only 3 in pic. I could see the bands, but camera couldn't capture it.

And, the moon the other night. All pics are just holding cellphone up to the eyepiece!

Hahaha, that about sums it up!

This is a $400 telescope and the camera on my S6 Active cell phone.

It's amazing what a cell camera can do nowadays! And the optics out of China are good and cheap (just do a little research first).

Maybe 15 years ago or so, it would have cost 3x or 4x the $ to get a pic like these.

I also liked playing with some of the photo filters on phone.

Astrophotography can be a deeper hole to pour money into than audio. Don't ask me how I know.

I feel like I need more information about how this photo was obtained and what equipment was used

That pic is amazing!

Surely it was worth the $ and the nights of lost sleep in order to get it

This came in from Amazon. I listened to the first three albums last night. The first two recordings are amazing, the third recording was louder then the previous two unfortunately...
Gping to try and listen to the last two tonight. This is/was? one talented band

Picked up some new CD's

Jack White's two solo efforts: Blunderbuss and Lazaretto

Josh Ritter: Sermon on the Rocks.

Some new Z-wave gear from monoprice. Trying out their door lock and motion sensors.

Monoprice balanced cables for my P3 - A23 combo.

Blunderbuss and Lazaretto are both excellent albums IMO.

Just received this from the UK (even shipped from there was half the price of Amazon):

Steven Wilson - 4 1/2. The 5.1 mixes are REALLY impressive.
