After having basic camera setups with simple trackers, I was gifted a seestar s30. Closed in back yard has a small area that isn’t covered in trees but has a perfect view of Orion. Going to let it run as long as I dare tonight and pull the fits files to import into siril and do a proper stacking but the apps stacking after only fifteen minutes is already making me excited for what I can pull out of it with an hour+ integration time.
Now if the clouds and fog stay away long enough for me to get quality subs, I’ll be a happy night owl
Edit: cloud bank came rolling in shortly afterwards. Will have better seeing the next few nights so hopefully will be able to get a lot more time to help clear up the noise and improve detail. Fifteen minutes is nowhere near enough


I actually tried Andromeda as a test, then did 40 min of the 7 sisters, then Orion nebula. This was the first one that was somewhat impressive out of the box.
