Nice to see someone actually using the Photavit - always enjoyed the square format cameras (like the Tenax/Tenax II/Robot cameras). I sort of want one, but I don't need another rabbithole - too many already. In comparision, the 24x36 looks like a panorama.

Hi Jimi,
yes, too many of them for me too and the square format feels a bit akward to me.

On the other hand the little Photavit is very handy, tiny, easy to use and with good grip.
If there will be a time for you to have another little camera i strongly suggest it.

Comet NEOWISE
Nikon D800E, Sigma 300mm f/2.8:



Where it is in the sky at ~5am, looking N-NE
28mm f/2:



I remember vividly as a child seeing Comet Hale-Bopp, and I've wanted to see another bright comet ever since. NEOWISE is not that level of brightness, but it was plainly visible with the naked eye. Absolutely spectacular through some astronomical binoculars.
