Saw this and immediately ordered a wedge!

i did mine tonight, tried in in the front yerd, but for some reason it just wouldnt polar align, was going to give up, then took it out the back, re did it and got it working. Currently imaging NGC4945 doing 20 second exposures

But i dont have much time tonight, so wont get much data, but still nice to know it was simple enough to do

Also note the power ligh on the S50 is a different colour, so this was planned from the get go i would say

got a chance to test EQ mode tonight. 80 min of 20 second exposures, This is uncropped and just as stacked by seestars own software

Ill play with it in siril tomorrow and will also like to try 30 second exposures

Nice one John...

Did you notice a reduction in the number of rejected images at all?

I'd run the .fit file through graxpert as well...it seems to work will with the raw output from the seestar...

Yes much fewer rejected image, all in all very happy with the eq update and so far has been a since to polar align.
I had it on the skywatcher star adventurer wedge last night, so can confirm that works a treat.

Ill do graxpert with the .fit file also, thanks for the tip
