Sure it has limitations but for the average photographer, with basic skills in image processing workflows, it's very acceptable. Makes me look at my big old clunker Newtonian and think - won't be long before it's off to the metal recycler!  |
Cheers Michael - as a 'veteran' imager (30+ years) but relatively new to the wonders of Pixinsight, I find the Seestar fun to experiment with the smaller image file sizes for stacking/integration in WBPP and speedy subsequent PI processing. A 'project' takes one night's worth of subs as opposed to weeks!
That said, I see some guys doing 49+hrs worth of 10sec subs in some of their Seestar images!!
