Seestar S50 images

Seestar has updated the app. You can now stack and edit the images. Here's M42

M42 Starless

6hrs 51mins integration (click on pic)

Bortle 7/8

Quick starless process to see how the data is coming along, working towards 20+hrs.

Phenomenal 👌

I can see a competition coming up for the best image taken with a Seestar S50

Was a bit bored with the cloudy skies so decided to reprocess some data I took in Iceland using the Seestar over Christmas.

~1 hour of data in Bortle 3 skies but with a fairly full and very bright moon.

Another quick spin of the Seestar last night when the clouds broke for a few hours.

25 minutes of M3, processed in PI.  NGC5263 also snuck into the top right corner.

23rd Feb, full moon, Bortle 6. M81, M82 and NGC2403.  Smartphone images.

Last night, Comet 62P was too close to the almost-full Moon, and with light cloud, almost washed out

However, Stellarium led me to the Eskimo Nebula - small but interesting

I also like the way the "Mark" function tries to shield you from adjacent bright objects

I got a nice image of Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks on 2 March.  Also imaged NGC2903, M74, and IC447 with less impressive results.  Imaging M109 was a total fail.  Not sure why, as a platesolve of the saved image indicates the Seestar was pointing at the right RA & Dec.

Yes, the Sun popped out today !!

Another one of 12P from 2nd March

Even with only 6 stacked images

It's a shame  that this comet is disappearing into my neighbourhood roof line as dusk moves later through March.

you can't go wrong with m42 😃

Couple from tonight, ngc 1893 and IC 443 jellyfish nebula. Simple screen grabs.

Hi folks,

I recently made a Youtube showing how to use Affinity Photo 2  to edit a single 10s FITS from Seestar. Affinity will also stack multiple FITS.

Thanks for that, very good price too, wasn't expecting that. Are all the macro's included or are they separate downloads?

The Seestar accompanied me to Asia as I had a few days on an island.

This is a section of the Carina nebula, 1 hours data (20 second exposures) and processed in PI.

An excellent picture and may well yet be stolen for the tablet wallpaper 👌

[M40]

In amongst the clouds and before rain stopped play.....IC410 tadpole nebula. Slightly lightened using the sliders in the seestar

T Coronae Borealis is due to go from magnitude 10 to magnitude 2 at some time this year. This image has T CrB above-right, of IC4587; and Epsilon CrB (magnitude 4.1) is the bright star at the top left of the image. It should be very obvious when T CrB gets brighter.

Good find, thanks for highlighting that 👌 another once in a lifetime event. A couple of before and after pictures on my target list now.
