Re: UPDATED: Outdor beamshots: nailbender SST-50&90, Moddoo Triple-XP-G, AE Xenide 25
Nights are simply too short in the summer.
But, as it only affected the last few shots of the strong lights, I decided it was better to post them now as they are and update them with better shots as soon as I get around to do these, instead of driving those waiting for them nuts by letting them wait another week or two for interesting lights.
Given that one knows how the very same Triple has the same output (the loss due to frosting of the optic is too little to be deduced from a beamshot) they do at least serve the purpose of showing the different beam patters of the optics.
The beamshot of the Xenide with Diffuser is at least quite close to the last one of the Triple (only about two and a half minute later) for some rough comparison.
Try looking at the original size images without zooming out and scroll them so that the buildings are at the top of your monitor and the sky not visible.
What works best in my experience, is to open the original size images one is interested in in separate browser tabs, thus beeing able to quickly switch back and forth between them. Or even downloading them to do that using your favourite image viewer.
The time the shots took to take, especially when having to switch optics on the Moddo Triple in between, was exactly the problem. To quote myself:
To the naked eye the difference was not visible (there was quite some moonlight all the time, even in the earlier shots that turned out nicely black), I only realized it when looking at the photos, were it is a lot more pronounced.Problems to be fixed by later updates:
- Starting with the Moddoo Triple-XP-G, dawn caught me (which shows more prominent in the beamshots than in in real life

Do not feed your brain the entire picture.
