Wow.

Wow, nice close up, is it a stacked and processed video?

If you at home, could you not put both into station mode and connect up to both via your home wifi and just switch between the two apps?

Exactly the same conclusion I came to, and I would add we haven't had the weather here in the South West! I think the S50 is a fantastic product. It is limited by not being equatorial and it's fixed orientation, small camera sensor. But I have taken more and better images in the last three months, (even with all the rubbish weather we have had) than I have had with my, admittedly budget , conventional rig in the last two years. The ability to see a gap in the clouds and be out there imaging within minutes is something previously only people with permanent observatories could manage. And most importantly, it has reignited my interest in this hobby.

With current exchange rates, £392.67 for the Seestar plus £109.00 in duties makes it only £49 cheaper than delivered price from FLO. Mine was delivered in three days in the week before Christmas. IMO it was worth the extra to deal with a trusted company in this country and not having to worry about sending it back to China if anything went wrong.

Thanks for the reply, I can get the Bluetooth to identify the S50 but it refuses to pair, I have checked the settings and can't see any reason why it would not. I will give the work around a go tonight. Thanks.

Hi, having a problem getting my Motorola Moto 8 running Android 11 to Bluetooth connect to my Seestar S50, and as that is used to set up the initial connection, it won't connect on the Seestar's WiFi. Must be a issue with the phone (or more likely the user) as the Seestar connected easily to my wife's iPad. I have tried resetting both devices, turning off home WiFi, turning off mobile data. Does anyone have any other suggestions please?

Preaching to the choir here but just had to say what fantastic service I had from FLO. I was lucky enough to see they had 4 SeeStar S50's in stock on Monday evening, I ordered one straight away and it was delivered Wednesday lunchtime! Great service at anytime but amazing the week before Christmas.

Hello from over the border. You have some excellent pictures on Astrobin.

Welcome, fantastic images!

Thank you for your replies, it did seen to be 'hot pixels'. I adjusted the settings on DSS and they disappeared. I used those settings to stack the Orion Nebula I took last week. Thank you again for your help.

Hi, does anyone know what these faint red blue and green 'L' shaped lines in the attached image are? And more importantly how to get rid of them. They are a uniform shape and size and all across the frame. I don't seem to get these lines on single images, at least I can't see them. I have tried stacking through both Deep Sky Stacker and Sequator, and even used a different laptop but with the same result. The pictures were taken on a Canon EOS 450D through a Skywatcher 200P mounted on a EQ5 Pro. The mirrors seem ok and I don't have any issues when visually observing. Any help and advise gratefully received. Thanks

Just received my James Webb telescope, smaller than I thought and nobody told me I had to put it into space myself! ☹️ I'm sending it back for a refund!

Just thankful it was clear last night as I have my parents down to rural Wiltshire from a very light polluted Stevenage. It was brilliant to show them Jupiter and Saturn and see the their delight at seeing those planets so clearly. Wonderful to see you can still have childlike wonder aged 97 and 88!

I was out about 10p.m. last night looking at Saturn and Jupiter before destroying my night vision (even with a moon filter) on the full moon. When I looked at Jupiter I could see three moons and a dot on the 'surface' of Jupiter, was that another moon transiting the planet or the shadow of one of the moons I could see? It wasn't the GRS! On that topic, I have looked at Jupiter dozens of times and I still haven't been able to positively identify it. The visibility was good last night and I have bortle 4 darkness here. I was using a 127 Mak with a 9mm poss eyepiece so the magnification should have been ok, I just can't pick it out. Any tips to help see it? Thanks
