168 min with all default settings

Hi, this is my 2nd attempt to capture M97. All settings a default. 168 min of stacking 10-sec images. What should I do with a standard application in order to improve the image? Or was 168 min not enough?

I guess the light pollution from the side was quite big

Thanks in advance!

How long it will take to capture a nebula?

Hi there, this my first attempt to capture something from my backyard (almost 1AM local time - the white nights are approaching). I have all default iOS apps settings and selected Blue Owl nebula from the list (appeared to be visible from this point). The app performs “Enhancing” stage, on my estimation already 15 minutes.

How long it could take? Or should I stop it at some point?

RAK4631 based Solar Node question

Hi, I'm thinking to make a solar node based on RAK4361 Meshtastic Kit. I have a solar panel for security cameras that provides 5V via USB-C (my guess - it is 4-6 Watt panel). Also I'm thinking to use four 18650 cells, in order to reduce the charging current via batteries (the solar node will be installed inside the glassed balcony, not exactly outdoor, but could be quite cold in a winter time).

So the main question - can I simply plug the solar panel into RAK's USB-C and use board's "Battery" port to operate all four 18650 cells via 1S BMS? Something like this:
