Introducing the AstroBin Marketplace
I'm thrilled to announce a significant addition to our platform: the AstroBin Marketplace! This new feature is specially designed to enable you to buy and sell used astronomy/astrophotography equipment directly within the AstroBin community.
February 2024 update
February was a bit of a stressful month. Between the 3rd and the 4th, and again between the 7th and the 10th, AstroBin suffered severe performance degradation several times a day.
While that was going on, you'd get very slow loading pages, pages that just wouldn't load at all, and the dreaded "Oops, AstroBin is not available right now" error page.
Apparently, a not-so-friendly crawlerbot associated with spamming activity decided to crawl AstroBin at a heightened rate, with requests coming out from Hong Kong, Singapore, and Frankfurt.
