Stacking 50 shots of Orion's Belt with a cheap tripod gave me a clear shot

I was getting blurry star trails with my old DSLR, even at 15 second exposures. A guy at the Denver astronomy club told me to try stacking 50 quick 2-second shots instead of one long one. I used DeepSkyStacker and the result was way sharper than anything I'd done before. Has anyone else found that stacking beats a single long exposure for basic gear?

Vent: A manager in Dallas told me to stop taking notes in meetings

Honestly, I was at a team meeting in Dallas about six months ago and my manager pulled me aside after. He said my constant note-taking made me look unprepared and distracted. Ngl, I used to write down everything but now I just jot down three key points max. Has anyone else had a boss give them weird feedback about how they work?

I used to think those heated dive hoods were a waste of money

After a 3-hour job in 38-degree water near Seattle, my buddy let me try his. My hands were numb but my head was totally fine, which never happens. Anyone have a brand they like that doesn't get bulky under the helmet?
