Cygnus wall with seestar s50

[ancient sorrel]

I used the built in light pollution filter and processed in pix and graxpert

I really like this - how long was the exposure etc ? I find that when I do really long exposures (10 seconds over an hour) the whole image gets washed out and I lose colour. Just interested in your work flow.

Also what's the built in light pollution filter ???

[ancient sorrel]

it was about 38 minutes. I did use the 10 minute exposures and I used pix to process. if you pay attention to the bottom left corner of my image,you can see its a lot noisier than the rest. That is the result of field rotation. What I recommend for you is to try the same target multiple nights in a row getting 1-2 hours of data on it each night. that wont push the field rotation too far and will still let you get tons of data. For me the noise with exposure wasn't a problem but it was for the sharpness. Thats one of the two problems I have with the seestar. the field rotation and the lower resolution. Both make each other worse. That being said, I think i'm just decent at post

10 minute exposure or 10 seconds ?

this is the best i've gotten so far:

everything else just looks like this:

10 second my bad lol

[ancient sorrel]

yeah the best you can do is shoot for multiple nights there is just no other way with that field rotation

then you can stack the few big files and maybe throw some drizzle in there

plus you have all the expensive PixInsight stuff 😛

that thing is ugly asf

[kind grotto]

its better

[ancient sorrel]

[kind grotto]

no field rotation

[exotic lion]

eq mount it

[ancient sorrel]

features not there yet

[exotic lion]

it still works though

[ancient sorrel]

all my targets are below "its" horizon

so impossible for me

[exotic lion]

what is your latitude

also there are ways around that limit

[ancient sorrel]

I'm listening

tell me
