Hi everyone! 

 

Thanks for joining the O2 Community! (Or if you haven't yet but would like to, you can register here!). I'm very happy to welcome you here. The O2 Community is a great place to get help and advice on O2 products and services, provide feedback and suggestions for the network, and have general chit chat. slight_smile

 

My name's Martin, one of the Community Managers here on the O2 forum. I work with @lewys-gp and @RafaC who are also part of the Community team. Personally, I've been working on communities for the last 8 years and have been with O2 since February 2016! 

 

This thread is all about introducing yourself to the Community and we'd love to hear a bit more about you! Things like: 

 

  • Pay monthly, Pay as you Go or Business Customer? 
  • What phone you currently have? 
  • Hobbies and interests? 
  • Random or cool facts about you? 

 

If you have any suggestions, questions about anything to do with O2 or the Community give us a shout or drop me a private messageSmiley Wink

 

I look forward to speaking to you soon. slight_smile

Thank you @viridisstunning photographs comparible with my Canon D5 Mark 111. Are you a student of astronomy? Do you use the Xperia camera phone for pictures of our Solar System after dark and if so what degree of success do you have?

Not so much astrophotography with the phones tbh, I find the small sensors combined with lenses above f1.8 just don't cut it. I do though enjoy setting the metering to spot and at full zoom, get shots of the international space station as it passes, yeah they aren't exactly spectacular but you can make out the shape in 1/20 shots.
For astro I use my a6000 with either a Zeiss 135mm or an old converted Soligor 400mm. I find the APS-C pulls in far more light and helps with me learning various things about the cameras

Thank you @viridis Orion is a favourite constellation of mine.Great picture. 

I must admit I own a telescope and use Skymap version 12 software. From our location at Lat 55 Long -4 it looks fantastic on a cold night in the Southern sky at Dec 35 at around 2200.

The vast distances we can see even with the naked eye is mind blowing!!! (EG Gemini)
