Ok, the timelapse is finished.

The final video is way too big to post on here, so here's an extremely compressed version of one part of it...

But if you have 2 minutes, check out the full + way higher quality video here:

Eventually the comet became visible.
From this vantage point I could see it a lot better, but it was still more dim to my eyes than shooting stars.

Fortunately I had time and space to get to the other side of the field to align the moon behind this tree more or less like I had planned to - just from a different angle.

These ones are really low quality but there was a kingfisher perched on this beaver lodge WITH a kestrel (?)

Re: Plover Appreciation Day, my previous self-boost:

I don't know much about plover habitat/conservation in general, but those piping plovers were living right on the beach, right among people... There were some guys flying kites and like actively swooping the kites at the birds to scare them and basically I just wish people would stop being actively antagonistic towards nature.
You're a part of the world and you should share it kindly as much as possible

Oh Plover Appreciation Day?

Confirmed, it's almost as thick as the pentax k-01...
Although that probably doesn't matter.

Can't wait til this gets on cameradecision to actually compare the size of it to an x-e3 / x-pro or even a regular a7

Sony A7C thoughts: Cool but why
This doesn't seem a ton more compact vertically than a normal a7, and it seems really thick - and that viewfinder seems really small. So it feels like this exists to give Sony attention.
