Aaaaah, i'm gonna upset you now mate

Its my firm belief that all classical music has no real use other than as background music in film and T.V :o

And why do they need some old codger down the front to keep time, cant they play the songs?.......iggy pop and the stooges never needed a conductor
Child minder maybe but not a conductor
I did manage 23 seconds of that track you posted while down'ing me second morning coffee......give it a guitar, a drummer, and a lead singer and there might be a decent song in there :P
Sorry dude, not my thing at all

I listened to a couple of minutes of it waiting for the music to start, but I couldn't hear anything over some weirdo just strumming his hand up and down the strings of a guitar.
Might have another listen later, see when the music starts :lol: :lol: :lol:

super lol :P

i was wondering if any/either of you had any advice on what sorts of cameras i should be looking at (under 60 U$D, AND passive IR detection) to start to cobble together a passive cascade monocle that is at least on par with vietnam-era military starlight scopes (hopefully a touch or two better, but we will wait and see how lucky im allowed to be.)

my initial idea is to (if the camera is at all based on photo cathode tubes) buy 2 or 3 units, strip them down to their core assemblies, and then fit the assemblies into a more durable metal or PVC tube in a cascade style (end to end, where the output of one, goes into the input of another, thus increasing the magnetude), and then go from there with ..... whatever needs to be enacted to ensure good vision and usage, such as camera lenses on the front for adjustable focal point light collection, or the like.
