Re: Woot - Vanguard tripods

I wanna get a carbon fiber one... but the problem is trying to justify why the heck i need another giant tripod when i barely use the ones i have.

Because it's better?

Bill, where are you going to take the milkyway shots? Highway 41 going to kaladar has a viewing zone.

I went to a 'dark sky zone' just north of Gravenhurst and it fucking sucked. Great for telescopes, shitty for cameras. I've been eyeing up some spots off Twelve Mile Bay road (South of Parry Sound).. Right now you've gotta look SSW, so much light pollution pretty much anywhere.

I use this to find decent zones for the Milky Way.
