So before diving in the deep end i thought id grab a seestar s50 to test the waters ans see if i enjoy DSO. I was all set up for planetary imaging, but see so many wonderful images that i thought id give it a go.

The S50 isnt crazy talk $$ so i thought why not. Also, the learning curve seemed straight forward.

So it was delivered yesterday and today i gave it a test run. This was around 30 minutes of footage with 10 second exposures. and stacking and processing done via the seestar app

No where near the level of quality i have seen on here, but for the simplicty of placing it outside, turn it on, level it, and tell it to go to...damn it makes it very easy

Really nice image for your first try, you should be very happy with it.

Just stick with the beginners section John, its the only place I post.

Clear skies :thumbsup:
