After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.

lol that was fun. My 5D II got another good cold testing. The last 2.5 hours of a star trail image I was doing looked like this, unknown to me. I was like, what is on my strap. Frost! Camera simply caked in frost. Temp around 0F. So cold and frosty the tripod was seriously frozen in the snow. Kept pulling harder and harder till finally it came lose.
The battery still impresses me. It was snapping off 30 second shots at 400 ISO constantly for 2.5 hours when I finally made a quick battery swap. Judging by the time it took the charger to show 50% in my car as I recharged that first battery, Id guess it still had 1/3 of a batter. This being done at 0F. Should get 3 hours easy on those things even in that cold.
