  1. so theres 47574 jobs available! thats not nearly a drop compaired to the amounts being laid off! plus most of these jobs are special skilled jobs such as teachers etc and the rest are cleaners!

    I love it how people that aren't prepared to put in a little time and effort to gain some valuable skills are suddenly above manual non skilled jobs such as cleaners.

    The free market will always provide work for those that are prepared to do it unfortunately the minimum wage legislation means that people that are often willing to work for less are unable to do so.

    Also wage inflation creeps in as higher paid people try to maintain their pay differential. This cost-push inflation is why manufacturing in this country is no longer competitive.

  2. Well for that I used a 30mm lens at f1.4

    I'm no pro. It's only a 4 second exposure at iso 400, I took some longer exposure shots but was impatient and missed focus.

    I was going to take some more tonight but it's really overcast at the moment.

    I've never used a telescope with a camera before but obviously larger sensor sizes and good performance at higher iso levels with a nice fast lens will give good results. A focus lock at infinity would also help.

    I'm hoping to try some time lapse if the clouds clear at all this week. I've seen some good examples with panning and tilting telescope heads like yours but I think I'm going to try with a mini-tripod and a plant turner to see how that turns out.

    This is no scam people, I didn't forward this to everybody in my address book and this morning I got swine flu.

  4. It's a function of the forum software that we are not using. Ordinarily it would allow people to upgrade their membership by paying a subscription. Thanks for pointing it out I'll hide it from the list of options.
