IC 443 Jellyfish Nebula \ IC 443 Jellyfish Nebula \ M31 Andromeda Galaxy\ M81 Bodes Galaxy \ Rosette Nebula and NGC 2244 all from a single night\session. All around 40 mins and 10 seconds subs. Removed any bad single FIT subs and stacked in Siril. Used AstroCooker then some work in Siril and GIMP.

good idea ! best session observing the sky I have ever had, still buzzing now

Seestar S50 for imaging and Skywatcher 200P on an EQ5 for visual

Was a good night, clear cold skies out from 18:00 till 02:00, more imaging with my new seestar s50 and visual observations with my 200P EQ5. images included andromeda, rosetta nebula, M82, pacman nebula, jellyfish nebula, visual was jupiter, neptune, M42, multiple star clusters around Cassiopeia amongst other things

welcome, im not too far from you

consider a seastar s50

M1 \ M42 \ NGC 434 and NGC 2024 (Flame Nebula) 10 second subs, FITs uploaded to Astro cooker, TIFF downloaded with some minor adjustments in GIMP

Been using my S50 for about a week now, from what I can see and transferred from the S50 in terms of files and have read you get a single JPEG stacked image form the subs and a FITs file, you do not get individual sub files to stack, apparently the early\beta release provided these and most of the YouTube videos are now out of date due to this, you cannot stack the individual subs, happy to be corrected on this as it would be good to do so

First image, received S50 today and was imaging 10 minutes after unboxing, M42, bortle 5, between heavy cloud cover, 10 minutes imaging with 10 sec subs and fits file uploaded to astrocooker, total game changer for me

Received my S50 today, easy to setup via app, charged it up a bit, plonked it on a patio table no alignment or faffing told it to point at M42 and 10 minutes of imaging land an upload to astrocooker I have this image. To me this is a dream come true, I can visually observe now and image at the same time.

Came across the S50 by chance catching up on threads on here, did some research and ordered one from FLO yesterday, they are now out of stock so seem popular. Cannot wait to receive it and image my first DSO after years of visual observations, i will be able to image and visually observe now.

Crikey some amazing images, just ordered one from FLO hope to be posting images soon and excellent excuse to go to a dark sky location in north wales

astronomy now

no single person on here or indeed alive on the planet at the moment has the answers, revive the thread in a 100 years time
