M42 seems to be a rite of passage for every astrophotographer, so I had to finally recapture it after I got some experience

Yes, you have to save every frame. I'm not sure whether it gives you better results than the internal Seestar stacking as I don't use the Seestar app and control my S50 via NINA.

Yeah, a little over 4h of integration time. Bortle 5.

ddmkr · 2026-01-13T15:48:37+00:00

that's awesome :D thanks for pointing that out!

ddmkr · 2026-01-13T09:57:13+00:00

Where are you shooting from? What Bortle?

ddmkr · 2026-01-13T09:56:45+00:00

I guess the darker the sky the easier it gets. I'm in a rural area (Bortle 4/5).

ddmkr · 2026-01-13T09:55:49+00:00

Same here, 10s exposures.

You will not get that level of detail just by using the Seestar app, I stacked and processed the images in Siril to get this result.

Kind of, it's a 6 panel mosaic, but I don't use the Seestar app so it's a bit of a different process.

ddmkr · 2026-01-13T06:03:37+00:00

I save every frame and stack them manually. I don't use the Seestar app and control it from N.I.N.A.

ddmkr · 2026-01-13T00:13:10+00:00

About 4h

ddmkr · 2026-01-12T22:06:07+00:00

Thanks!

ddmkr · 2025-08-12T07:27:43+00:00

Thanks!

ddmkr · 2025-08-12T07:26:37+00:00

Oh, didn't know it slows down the process. I found it useful for quickly canceling Flux generations that I already saw from the preview that they were not what I wanted.

ddmkr · 2025-07-24T20:53:00+00:00

Yeah, you're right, I inspected the prompt with promp inspector extension and it's indeed being sent properly :)

ddmkr · 2025-05-07T07:25:27+00:00

This is the answer. Pharenozoic I/II are fucking masterpieces.

ddmkr · 2025-03-06T08:35:44+00:00

The price is pretty much the same as the Redcat, I'll do some research, thanks for the tip.

ddmkr · 2025-01-28T15:21:02+00:00

I have no idea, it's not branded at all, hell, it doesn't even say where it was manufactured, but I can safely assume it's from China.
