+Bino-viewer Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Just wondering how many EMS are using AstroBin to showcase their images ? Just seen over on SGL that as from next year 2016, its going to be a paid, yearly subscription. This isn't a bad thing though, and AstroBins founder Salvatore Lovene makes a sound argument for the change. http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/256305-astrobin-to-become-a-paid-service-in-2016/page-1#entry2799527 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Bino-viewer Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 $36 USD seems quite a bit (around £24 UK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 If I used it a lot it might be worth it, but as I said i dont use it that much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 There's sites like Flickr and Photobucket that are free up to a certain volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 There's sites like Flickr and Photobucket that are free up to a certain volume. they are not really as good as this astro site. it allows easy putting in of equipment and details/integration times etc and plate solving, plus a place of like minded folks. so they really an alternative to what astrobin offers, but i suppose they are OK just to store images, i dont know the limits for size/volume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't keep repeating too many details on my lunar shots, as I have a "recipe": stack lots of full disc images then finish off in GIMP, removing most of the red and blue.
