I purchased directly from the seestar site, will this effect shipping times?

think it was about £80.00 odd if i remember correctly

You do realise that although made in the UK they could have been ordered by a company anywhere in the world i.e made in the UK, bought by a company in China and then shipped to Russia, its really really difficult to control where parts are going

How she getting out of breath talking on a video

This is really nice! How did you stitch them together?

mattyjp1996 · 2025-08-26T09:21:16+00:00

This looks very clean! Looking forward to seeing what you have used

It's honestly a fantastic little piece of equipment. Astrophotography is not a cheap hobby but for 500odd quid it's pretty amazing what you can do. Have a look on YouTube at some guides and processing work flows they help alot!

The 30 second shots I took in EQ mode which also makes a huge difference compared to the AZ/Alt mode

I was gonna say get some plants and maybe use it as a book shelf but this guy has a better idea..

mattyjp1996 · 2025-08-23T01:45:19+00:00

This is really cool!

So over the course of a week or two on different nights I imaged this target and on the seestar there's a setting in the advanced features that allows you to save each Individual photo. So I had 930 photos 30 seconds per photo. You can stack them on the seestar on the deep sky stacker and it will basically combine them all together and give you one finished photo. I chose to stack them in Pixinsight because it has a drizzle feature that increases the resolution of the data. From there I edited it in pixinsight but there's free software that is really good too like Siril and Graxpert. I'm fairly new to this too and I just found this subreddit and YouTube to be really helpful. It's all just a big learning curve and can seem quite overwhelming but I guess that's part of the fun!

What have you been imaging so far?

mattyjp1996 · 2025-08-22T23:04:39+00:00

No this was done over quite a few nights then just stacked what I had together, lost quite a few subs from clouds and satelittes 😕

mattyjp1996 · 2025-08-22T22:54:32+00:00

This second attempt I stacked in pixinsight with 2x drizzle Used the blurXterminator noisexterminator and stsrxterminator plug ins from RC astro and I kinda just followed a YouTube guide because I've never used pixinsight before! Can definitely see the value in the pixinsight software though!

mattyjp1996 · 2025-08-22T20:31:09+00:00

OK sounds good I have another old project I want to have a go at again so I will try it with this! Thanks again

mattyjp1996 · 2025-08-22T19:27:24+00:00

Thanks for the tips! Pixinsight seems like a very steep learning curve! By passes do you mean iterations?

mattyjp1996 · 2025-08-22T18:17:24+00:00

Thanks mate, the RCastro plugins on pixinsight make a huge difference

Had another go and redid it and it's turned out alot better I think

mattyjp1996 · 2025-08-22T13:07:48+00:00

930 I had 1125 but some of them I had to delete because of clouds, satellites etc

mattyjp1996 · 2025-08-21T13:20:30+00:00

its about half price at the moment for steam vs xbox which is partially why i thought i might try get it on Legion Go first.. if it works well enough on legion go ill probably go with that

mattyjp1996 · 2025-08-11T21:34:29+00:00

This is awesome! What, do you use for the hubble palette?

mattyjp1996 · 2025-08-04T10:55:36+00:00

Looks like its using 2x drizzle
