Where did you find Satobi?
By menus changed I meant the font. (Silly me)[/quote]From power up/switch-on, press right hand arrow on the 4-way controller, into drive mode/white balance/custom. I think it was the last one or the penultimate.

Just updated to the latest, all the menus seem to have changed and Satobi has disappeared (?)
Anybody agree?
My camera is aK1 11.
I updated too and Satobi is still there. Went from previous version 2.3 to 2.4.

What I did notice was in the RAW data no details to check what your setting was, as I thought I had selected Astro-3 and later switched camera back on the setting was Astro-1, so checked raw data. Would have been nice it was in there, unless I'm mistaken?
Chuffed with result, 20 secs though so not too slow, but pixel peeping appears not bad. Very windy with odd bit of cloud wisps, not the best PP either but here is an amateur attempt;

Wow, I first viewed on the mobile and had to see them on the PC, and now on the monitor viewed large - I can't get over them. All great so no favourites, if pushed I am swayed towards the Orion Nebula shots and the Rosette, oh and the Andromeda Galaxy!!!!

Sharp focus on the important part with such beautifully natural colour - it's funny how much time we can take to make something look as we saw it
[quote:3496ace15f="PeterKR"]That was well worth the effort - as they say 'you won't win if you don't take part' and that is a winner. I especially like the capture of the raindrops.

Thank you LennyBloke and Peter for the comments.

Thank you David and Steve for your kind comments.
I did take time faffing with DCP files etc in RT and other settings to get it how I saw it, so still awkward you might say with a K1.

Taken today under grey skies, K1 mkII, SMC DFA100 WR macro f2.8;
This picture seems to say something to me, haha, probably a crap photo.
I have never wrote a poem I believe ever, but I must be cracking up to post this, to go with a photo here is a crap attempt at poetry;

'Old and tied to the past,
We bow to the new,
As nothing lasts,
So ascends our view'

I'll get ma' coat.....

Last of the Penstemons in the garden, taken this morning on a damp and murky sky, hence high ISO 1100, K1 and smc dfa 100 f2.8 macro wr, hand held.
All comments welcome, but I was only playing and thought I would catch this flower and chuck it in here to hopefully brighten up the day.
