Seestar S50

[Cyclone]

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.

Quite impressive for an all in one. I spent last night researching astrophotography.

Tempted: something new to try and learn

Putting me off : I live in London lol

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.

Very impressive images!

Tempted to grab a light pollution filter for my widest lens and see the difference it makes!

I live in the fens and things are blacker than a black thing.

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.
