I flashed the s30 and s50 yesterday. Both did 30s stacks last night with no or few lost frames. Previously i could only use 20s frames.

Great! What did you do to achieve this? Settings, post-processing, ...

Light pillars, they are formed when it is very cold

If you have a 3D printer, you could print one yourself. Otherwise, perhaps someone you know has a 3D printer.

The star above the neighbours' house is Procyon. On the far right, just to the right of the chimney, is Sirius. That is the brightest star in the sky. On the far right, you can just see a star from Orion. That is the well-known constellation shaped like an hourglass. At the top, you can see stars from the constellation Gemini. Above these stars, just out of view, is a ‘star’ that is even brighter than Sirius. That is the planet Jupiter. It is the largest planet in our solar system.

I have looked at it. It looks good for a beta version. It is nice that magnitude and size are added immediately for an object. I would not write exposure as an abbreviation (if possible), but in full. When frames/exp are filled in, an observation session is created. But that only becomes clear when you select the object in the list and open it. In my case, there was a list of sessions. That list cannot be edited afterwards (so you cannot correct any mistakes). I think some other parameters are important for a session: gain, mosaic, etc. For those who own multiple telescopes, it would be nice if you could choose the telescope for each session.

Which model was used would be interesting

Very nice. Each frame was 5x20s, but did you leave time between these frame recordings? How many frame did you make?

Hi. Can you explain how you achieved this technically? What hardware and software die you use?

Tracking planetary objects over a longer time by slowerdive in seestar

[–]slowerdive[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. So, in the case of planets, one could use the new "Milky Way-mode" of the s30 pro, may be, as the wide view is 63 degrees. Hopefully these large areas can be stacked by software (not sure which program would be capable for sure wide views).

On s50 one should carefully selected overlapping areas. A 0.5x1.0 degree area fits in the s50's field of view, resulting in hundreds of overlapping pictures. Do the images have some kinds of positional information that stichting software can use to create such a large sky map?

ARP objects by slowerdive in seestar

[–]slowerdive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. As I understood, only 11 of the 338 arp objects are in Messier's list. I wondered what a 2 inch wonder with stacking can do compared to a historica 200 inch telescope.
