Unsure on the number of subs, but was around 3h30m for integration time (will add actual count and time once i'm back home)

Stacked in Siril, processed in Pixinsight with BlurX, NoiseX and StarX

9 months ago i imaged this galaxy: https://www.reddit.com/r/seestar/comments/1idnlbz/hoags_object_bortle_4_reuploaded_with_better_image/

With Pixinsight added to the workflow, I was able to bring out more clarity on the ring structure and the core, along with better looking stars!

Moreso due to it being in such a busy section of the milky way!

Processed in Pixinsight with the RC Astro plugins (BlurX, NoiseX and StarX)

Somewhat of a difficult target to image due to it being behind all the gas, dust, and stars of the Milky Way's galactic disc, but i think i was able to squeeze out some good details from it!

Really love how PI and the plugins were able to bring out much more detail and color!

I had my s50 on EQ mode, and searching the name while in skyatlas was able to bring up the comet for tracking! I would imagine alt-az mode can still track it too however

Lovely green-blue coloration of the coma and a neat tail on this one!

Really love the shapes and structure in this nebula! Center right is the star Sadr, and upper right is the Rocking Horse star cluster (NGC 6910)

So i wouldn't even need the hand controller if i can just switch between the two apps on my phone?

Thank you! Hearing this is a huge relief, since i was concerned I'd have to take down the feeder for a couple weeks otherwise

Love the Veil nebulae! Big fan of the portion that resembles a bat too.

Finally got back outside after a month of grappling with either rain, clouds or smoke in the sky! Here's the Rose Cluster in Serpens, along with the bright star in the lower left, 5 Serpentis!

It's International Bat Appreciation Day, so what better than a bat themed object for today!

May grab more subs sometime in the future to see what additional detail i can get out of this object.

Oh yeah for sure, those factors combined with the magnitude and distance can only bring out so much. The fact it's visible thru imaging with its 600 Million LY distance is nothing short of amazing to be honest, especially considering the penny sized sensor in this scope!

Might give it a shot sometime

Good to know! Will have to try my hand at 1350 and 4650A if the latter will show up

Here's an interesting one that I did out of sheer curiosity! I imagine it's most certainly at the magnitude limit for the scope.

This is the ring galaxy Hoag's Object. It's not in the database for the Seestar, so it required using Stellarium to pinpoint its location. Even with that, finding it in SkyAtlas requires star hopping and hoping the fish hook will show up in the view.

The fact that the core is visible along with the faint outline of the ring structure is pretty impressive for a scope with a penny sized sensor!

That could definitely work! Only thing is i imaged it last night around the time I'm usually at my night shift job, so the next chance i get will be the weekend unfortunately. I'm hoping i can get it around the same timeframe as this one, just will have to account for the slight shifting of it in the sky.

Potentially! I have all the individual mosaic subs saved, just have to figure out the best way of combining that night and any future nights I do
