With the clear skies we've had lately, I finally got the Seestar out to take a few astro pictures. This is the Orion Nebula, with 19 mins (114 x 10 second exposures) worth of data.

The Seestar stacks the images to give you a .fits file, or it can save the fits on every frame giving you the chance to stack them yourself. (You also get a copy of the image in jpg form on your phone/tablet).

This was then run through AstroCooker and then touched up in lightroom.

For it's size the Seestar S50 is very impressive. Long may the clear skies continue.

Tempted: something new to try and learn

Are you talking about London light pollution? The Seestar has a light pollution filter built in

*edit*
Another image from last night - Whirlpool Galaxy 10 mins (60 x 10 secs)

Yes that's what I'm worried about. I'd love to get some images- print and frame. However, managing my expectations- noise/ light pollution / image quality vs gear.

Had a go at the 12P/Pons–Brooks comet. Comes around every 70 odd years or so.

It starts to fade in 3-4 weeks, so I will try again before then.

Eastern Veil Nebula (NGC 6992), made with 357 stacked images collected over 4 nights. My editing skills aren't that great, had difficulty removing the noise in the image while still keeping the detail of the Nebula.

The Eastern Veil Nebula is a cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust in the constellation of Cygnus and is located at around 1470 light-years from Earth. It is part of the Cygnus Loop which is a faint supernova remnant that exploded approximately 7000 years ago.
