In order to know the Astrobin users' habits to visualize astrophotography, I've decided to share a poll with you. Of course, big screens and calibrated ones are the best, but not always and not everybody can do this. Let's forget the calibration for a while and focus on the screen size.
Where do you use to watch and analyze Astrobin users' pictures?

I use an iPad or 24 inch or larger monitors. If I see something particularly interesting I bookmark it and view it at home on a 32 inch calibrated monitor.
Although Astrobin has an interface for small devices, it's hard to use and navigate. (The same can be said for almost all such small web layouts, so this is not really a problem of Astrobin itself.) What's even more painful is to look at the astro pictures on a small screen. So I intentionally avoid visiting Astrobin on my cell phone when I am out. I wait until I get back home or office so I can see things on a large screen.

An interesting poll. How an astro photo is perceived may largely depend on screen size. Details and depth of an image might be better perceived on a large screen compared to a small cell phone screen even though cell phones often have similar resolution. Since cell phones are often used outside, more colorful / higher contrast might be better suited. One might come to the conclusion that two versions of an astro photo should be prepared to take specific advantages of varying screen sizes and location (inside/outside).
49" wide monitor. Great for viewing images at full resolution.
I use a 27" EIZO calibrated monitor as a base. It's not cheap, but the calibration makes a big difference to uncalibrated monitors.
When I'm out with friends, I use my iPhone screen to show photos on the fly (I suspect they hate me for this :cool-1
. What I miss the most on the iPhone is the mouse-hover animation. This is not a limitation of Astrobin's mobile application, but an inherent feature of the iPhone interface. When a mouse is connected to the iPhone (yes, you can, via bluetooth) the hover animation works! I don't know if using a pen would produce the same effect, has anyone had this experience?
Thanks for this interesting thread and poll, Daniel.

What type of screen do you view other Astrphotographers' work on Astrobin?
I always wondered how everyone views other people's work on astrobin. I often process my image on a 77 inch OLED TV while laying back on my recliner, but when it comes to actually viewing others, sometimes I view and browse astrobin from my PC, b...

BenQ SW242Q Adobe RGB 24" monitor review ish
Hi all. I've just bought the BenQ SW242Q 2k monitor to sit with my other BenQ PD2700Q monitors So thought i would share what it is and some caveats. I'm not an expert but these are my thoughts and experiences so far. It's around £445- £46...
