  1. Here's a lesson in not giving in. I was taking a pic of M45 when after only 18 mins I got these star trails. Wind, cats, who knows? Anyhoo rather than throw it out I used just the Object Eraser on my Samsung picture editor to delete the trails. Then used astrocooker to make an image without stars and then joined the last two images together using Snapspeed. Ok, not exactly Hubble but I'm pleased with this for just 18 mins.
  2. I've got my seestar set up with a power bank plugged into it, and I've only just noticed that the 100% power indicator is blue with a temperature symbol on it. Has anyone else noticed this? I assume it's telling me its cold? It's only 7c outside though.
  3. This isn't mine, I've nicked it off of Facebook so apologies if the original poster is on here. But I thought it was really funny. Someone has made an observatory for a Seestar 😂
  4. Nope, nothing! If reset the Seestar, uninstalled and reinstalled the app and restarted my phone. The app says I'm in station mode and connected to my home network. But actually I'm still connected to the Seestar WiFi with no Internet. Any ideas?
  5. This thing works so well when it works, but doesn't work so much I'm kinda done.
  6. Does anyone have problems with Station Mode? I didn't, but now when I try to switch back to my home router my Seestar disconnects. Any solutions chaps/chapesses?
  7. You were right! Thanks Giles 👍 It only got 33 mins though which is also odd. I'm guessing maybe I've tapped my phone when I nodded off. I guess the main lesson to learn here is not to sleep on the job lol. Thanks again
  8. It could've gone into the side of my house. I'm just surprised it didn't save the good images. It was looking quite nice before I nodded off. I'm left with nothing though.
  9. I was taking a pic of the Rosette nebula last night. It was looking quite good when suddenly it was 4 hours later... I had fallen asleep. The Rosette nebula was completely gone. No pic on my phone or on the Seestar itself. Has anyone else had this? If the pic becomes terrible for some reason, does it get deleted? 🤷‍♂️
  10. I had this. Also within half an hour it had managed to move the whole of one side of my house in between itself and M33. Powerful bit of kit 😂 Funny what you don't notice when you're sat indoors with a wine isn't it.
  11. Mine arrived today. I must be on Santas good list. Thanks FLO for the very good service 👍
  12. I'll let you know. Where in Bristol are you? We live in Yate.
  13. I've been told that FLO received some this morning so hopefully I should be getting mine real soon. I've bought it mainly to take to my caravan as the sky there is good. I live on the outer edges of Bristol so not good here but I can't wait to see what it can do.
  14. I've just ordered one of these from First Light Optics. Out of stock at the mo so I'm just going to have to play the waiting game. Can I ask all of you who have one a couple of questions? 1. Does it really need to be under 60 humidity? 2. The talking thing. Does it just talk through the setting up or does it yabber on every time you ask it to find an object? I'm not too keen on that. Is it possible to turn the talking off? Or is there a volume you can turn all the way down? Thanks chaps/chapesses.
  15. I agree. Space X must have NASA quaking in their boots. There's a lot that Elon can be criticised for but he's got an incredible mind. He just seems to come up with new ways of doing things. Maybe an aspect of his Asperger's? I dunno but SpaceX is definitely exciting. Bring on the next launch.
  16. I might be wrong but I thought I heard "main engine cut off" and then "waiting for separation". But to me those engines looked like they were still firing?
  17. I couldn't go this year. How did it compare with last year? I thought it seemed quite small last year so hope it was better.
  18. It's been a long time I've posted on here, but I saw this and thought I'd share it with you. https://ascienceenthusiast.com/this-german-professor-just-repainted-his-observatory-into-r2-d2/
