Tonight I was capturing M101 with my S30 Pro, unfortunately had to stop after 90 minutes because the sky became cloudy. But skimming through the subs I discovered this capture. Does somebody know what it is? A rotating satellite? Because the object is two times in orange and two times as a white dot with flares visible.

Exciting. :-)

Whats the white line that gets thinner then thick again?

This shit is friggin’ awesome.

This is one of my favorite hobbies now. I can’t wait until I can go camping with this thing.

S50 in solar system mode, post-processed in Photomator, April 22, 2026. I love the S50 for galaxies and nebulae, but sometimes you gotta just gaze at the moon a while. I just got an old Meade ETX90 off of FB Marketplace for a song, and was having fun visually observing with that. Luna was in fine form this evening.

Picture shot on morning of April 16, 8 minutes integration of 10 seconds exposures.

The Pillars of Creation are part of Messier 16, also known as the Eagle Nebula. They’re towering columns of cold gas and dust inside a stellar nursery.

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!

This is my attempt at capturing IC 434 with 1265 sub frames

Im very busy with studies, so this is all stacked and slightly edited on the seestar app, its my first ever attempt at capturing anything with my seestar (other than the moon) So I would love to hear your tips if you have any, thanks

Integration time: ~70 mins (mixed 20s and 30s subs)

Got my S30 Pro a few weeks ago. Here is a collection of the best shots I've gotten so far.

• M97 Owl Nebula with M108 Surfboard Galaxy in the background - 234 x 30 LP filter.
• M81 Bode's Galaxy and M82 the Cigar Galaxy - 1,500 x 10
• M3 Globular Cluster - 312 x 10

Taken on clear nights in Bortle 6 skys.

I've been using Siril to process my images from my Seestar S50 and it's worked fairly well but I decided to give the Pixinsight trial a chance.

Huge improvement in my processing. I think I may have to go with Pixinsight from now on.

Still used Siril to stack the subs with the Nazstronomy Smart Telescope script.

S30. 40 minutes worth of 30 second subs. Edited in the Seestar app.

Hello,

I just got my S30 and used it for the first time with 1h on M64. Those satellite trails are very annoying. Is there a way to remove them afterwards or just not have them in the first place?

Help is appreciated, thanks.
