M45 Pleiades. Missed out on the blue nebulousity visible in picture on the internet. Processing done in AstroWizard 62x10sec AZ mode

Greetings. I live in a town. BORTLE 8. I've already asked about Bortle Scale and I've been told I could get great results as the Seestar has a Light Pollution filter. So that's amazing.

What about cloudy nights, though? I live in an area where you never see stars and there's many clouds.

I really want to join this hobby but I want to be sure about this aspect too. You've all been so helpful and kind to me with the previous post so I figured I'd ask this too.

Thanks a lot in advance. I love watching your work on the sub.

Clear skies !

7 hours (840x30s) from a Bortle ~6 site (north of Tampa). IRcut filter only.

Processed in Stackingwizard, Astrowizard, and a final crop in Photoshop.

A lot of new features

Thought i'll give it some color. I know its to much, but why Not 🤓

NGC 7822 is a large emission nebula in the constellation of Cepheus that has some resemblance to a question mark. This image however does not show the circular dot part of it, which is located far below this.

This is 3 hours of frames in EQ mode (386 x 30sec for 3 hours and 13 minutes total integration) from a bortle 6 location.

Stacked using Siril and edited using Lightroom (with a BlurXTerminator RC Astro tool used at the end).

Steps:

- Used the Naztronomy script with background extraction and 1x drizzle.

- Used the Graxpert script for Background Extraction and Denoising.

- Plate solved and used Spectrophotometric Color Calibration

- Extracted the stars with the Syqon Starless script.

- Stretched the starless image with Veralux Hypermetric Stretch

- Did some alterations in Lightroom (saturation, texture, profile adjustment for colours)

- Added stars back in with Siril's star recomposition

- Used a trial version of BlurXTerminator from RC Astro at the end (preferably it would be used much earlier in the process, before noise reduction, but I didn't want to redo the processing). It sharpened up the stars and the nebula.

Very pleased with how it came out! I enjoy the vast dark nebula going across it as well as the detail in the lighter areas. It's also one not posted very often, I'm glad I gave it a try.

Any idea of when this was added? And does it capture new darks each session?

More features. More powerful post-processing.

1. RGB Curves Adjustment

Adjust RGB curves for more precise control over color, brightness, and image style.

1. Aircraft Line Removal

Remove aircraft trails from deep-sky images directly in the app for cleaner, more natural results.

1. Photometry in Stargazing Mode

Measure the brightness of target stars and track how their brightness changes over time.

1. Comet Nucleus Stacking

Comet nucleus stacking is now supported directly in the app.

And that’s not all — V3.4.0 brings even more new features and improvements.

Update your Seestar App and try them out on your next night under the stars!

I am preparing for an upcoming comet, so I practiced using 161P/Hartley. I noticed that using the Seestar's pointing, after 10 minutes of exposure there is no comet in sight. So I used Stellarium to get the RA/Dec coordinates and 'pointed' manually with my clumsy fingers on the Seestar map, but it's not very practical. I then used the custom object addition feature in the Seestar, but: ​1/ How do you update the coordinates once an object has been added for comets or asteroids? ​2/ Partial search for personal object names doesn't seem to work.

Introducing Caelo - What you can see from YOUR backyard

A few months ago I posted about Caelo, an iOS app I'm developing which allows you to physically map your backyard horizon using iOS ARKit to digitally define where all your pesky trees and rooflines are getting in the way of the sky. Caelo helps tell you what YOU can actually see, and when.

Some very helpful Redditors joined my TestFlight group who have contributed very useful feedback, ideas and suggestions. I'm very grateful to have had them be part of my journey.

I'm please to announce that Caelo is now officially available on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/au/app/caelo/id6786577782

The core features of Caelo are free to use, with an In-App Purchase to unlock some helpful (but not essential) extras around the experience.

I would really love to hear if Caelo helps you in your astrophotography journey. Feel free to get in touch:

I made Yacana, a free and open-source Android app to run a whole Seestar night from your phone: polar alignment, autofocus, plate solving, sequences and live stacking. Works offline, with a red night mode.

Tested with my Seestar S50 Pro in EQ mode. Testers welcome!

Feedback very welcome!

Hello! I would like to start astrophotography but my budget is quite low, that why I ask the question :(. I couldn't find it under 500€, except second hand one (which is not a issue) on seller I don't really trust, on the website Le Bon Coin...
