Thank you for sharing Dylan. As parents, most of us would step in front of a moving train to protect our kids. However, when something happens that you have no control over, it just rips your heart out. Stay strong, and if it matters at all, just know that Jeff, a guy from Wisconsin, is thinking of you and your son.

Nothing really to add to Jeffrey's comment. As a long time follower (and your kid) I was thinking/hoping for a less important reason like KZitem content delivery exhaust or a local water flooding event. And indeed some things are way more important than KZitem. From The Netherlands, best of luck (non native speaker here ... bit lost of words)

So I am sweden, and from september was not any vlear sky, until yesterday. So i put my rig out. And the multiple troubles comes. The biggest is: NINA does not want to take longer shots as 30s, with my modified Canon 2000D. In the middle of the time i downloaded the APT, and it worked well, i could take 300s subs as was my plan. Somebody can help to me, what is the problem? I dont want switch system again...
