    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 CZcams content delivery exhaust or a local water flooding event. And indeed some things are way more important than CZcams. From The Netherlands, best of luck (non native speaker here ... bit lost of words)

    I've recently moved to NINA and I'm liking it so far. I'm terribly sorry to hear about your son! I have two daughters as well, and I honestly don't know how I would handle something like that. Keep your head up and know we're all thinking of you!

    Wonderful timing--I have just migrated to NINA because of the imminent arrival in NZ of my Nexdome from another vendor in Australia... I'll definitely use your settings as a starting point and see how I get on.

      @@DylanODonnell Will do! It won't be for a while though, since the builders who will be building the platform and walls the dome will sit on are a bit busy building the house that the observatory will be adjacent to. Odd priorities.

    As with all your videos Dylan, always entertaining and informative. I appreciate you sharing about your son in particular. I cannot begin to imagine what that must be like but clearly not easy. Sending all my good thoughts you way, all the way from June Lake California where it's been snowing pretty much since Thanksgiving... Stay strong Dylan

    Great video Dylan, glad you’re back! That’s a real crap thing to happen to your son and for your family to go through! Hope he’s ok now! I’m about to swap over to Nina now also, as I’ve just completed my obsey and was using the ASIAIR before, but I want to automate everything now too! So I’ll be checking in to hopefully pick up some tips from you mate👍 Clear skies!

    Fell in love with EKOS/INDI using KStars. Not convinced NINA is a good replacement, but if it works seamlessly on Windows alone, I can see why it'd be more popular and take everything by storm.
    Wanted to say I'm familiar with spending time with a boy in and out of the hospital under serious circumstances. You're there for him, and that's what matters. We'll miss ya while you're handling, and we'll be here when you post your next video. Keep your head up, daddio. My family's best to y'all and my props to the little man for being a boss.

    I really love your videos Dylan. You make me laugh, when I least expect it....for that, you are a gem in my eyes. I'm so happy you are okay and very sad to hear what you've been going through with your son's sickness. Sounds like things are much better (YAY!!!) and I am thinking of you and your son and wishing for great news to continue. Thank you for sharing, as you are right, it really isn't anyone's business but yours. You have a huge support group behind you giving you tons of good energy and vibes to get through this and back to normal for both you and your son. I'm not going to say "Thoughts and prayers".....but just "thoughts" because if prayers worked, the big daddy in the sky wouldn't have let it happen in the first place which would make that big daddy a sadistic son of a b$#%#.

    Dylan, glad to see you using NINA! I wrote the Dome integration *and* I have a NexDome. Drop me a line if you have any issues or questions.
    I also wrote Hocus Focus and Orbitals, same offer applies for those as well. Good luck in your journey. Also best wishes for your family during this trying time.

      Hey thanks George ! So far it’s working like a dream :) I don’t know why mine works best when set to 900mm radius but it works so that’s good enough for me !

    Geeze Mate, tough time. Great to hear Zen and you guys are on the other side of this…but nothing is more testing for one’s focus than a sick child..puts it all into perspective!..courage and strength..and your sartorial humour will help!..😅😉🤠..anyway, rock-on, here’s to clear minds and skies for us all!!
