Hmmm. I continue to struggle to produce anything I think looks good from the Magellanic Clouds.

It would definitely help to have significantly more signal to noise for both of these, but that's not the only problem.

Doing the Small Magellanic Cloud as a mosaic that include both of the nearby globular clusters certainly helps, as does using the dual narrowband light pollution filter to emphasise all the little nebulae strewn through the dwarf galaxy, but I'm still not satisfied with it. Meanwhile the shot of the Tarantula Nebula and other nearby Large Magellanic Cloud nebulae just doesn't please me for reasons I'm not sure about. I feel this might be a target where I should shoot it with both the dual narrowband light pollution filter and the UV/IR cut luminance filter, and blend starless nebulae from the former with stars from the latter.

Despite the continuing presence of the big shiny git, and a bit of cloud early on too, I was able to get some more data with the Thirty Millimetre Telescope and consequently have been able to take a quick look at a new to me nebula, the Seagull Nebula (IC 2177).

It's a good size for the Seestar S30 Pro's field of view, and has some nice structure to it, but it's not as bright as its more famous neighbours in Orion so I'm definitely going to have to give it more exposure time. I was only able to observe it right at the end of the last two nights so there's just 3 hours of total exposure time so far.

Processed in Siril with SyQon, GraXpert and VeraLux scripts because my RC Astro free trial has now expired.

It looks like being at least mostly clear tonight so I set up the Thirty Millimetre Telescope outside, but then really struggled to find targets for it. It's basically Full Moon so I definitely want to use the internal dual narrowband light pollution filter all night, which means only going after emission nebulae, i.e. HII regions and planetary nebulae. Unfortunately at this time of year most of them are too low apart from right at the start or end of the night.

I was going to spend most of the night just racking up more time on the Helix Nebula since it is observable pretty much all night, but then I realised that the Moon would be right next to it so the data would be garbage even with the light pollution filter. Searching in https://telescopius.com (thanks to @malcircuit for that tip about that) suggests that the only emission nebulae that will be observable and not too close to the Moon during most of the night are the ones in/near the Magellanic Clouds, so that's what I'm going to do, at least until the Seagull Nebula rises high enough.

Resurrecting this thread in order to add (4) Vesta and (2) Pallas, the 2nd and 3rd largest asteroids in the solar system.

Each image has about half an hour of exposure time with the Thirty Millimetre Telescope in them, which was more than enough for these relatively bright main belt asteroids.

As with all the other (minor)planet GIFs in this thread the data were processed in Siril with RC Astro and VeraLux scripts, and cropped and giffified in GIMP.

Huh, I thought I'd already done about as good a job on the Helix Nebula as I was going to be able to do with the Thirty Millimeter Telescope, but increasing the total exposure time from 11 to almost 20 hours, doing a 1.5× drizzle upsample, and refraining from pushing the brightness so hard have together brought rewards. Maybe I should keep going on this even longer.

Over the weekend I got some good data on the Horsehead Nebula so now I have decent images of both of the big showy nebulae in the constellation of Orion.

All data taken with my Seestar S30 Pro from my Bortle 7 backyard in Sydney, and processed in Siril with RC Astro, GraXpert and VeraLux scripts.

Both images have about 4 1/2 hours of exposure time in them and I feel like they could both do with some more, but they'll do for now. Maybe I'll do a big mosaic covering both nebulae a bit later in the year when I can start imaging them before 2 am.

Finally, for now, Saturn. Massively overexposed on Saturn itself but that meant that three of Saturn's many, many moons were visible.

Beltalowda will be please to hear that I will be doing the same for (2) Pallas and (4) Vesta soon. I got images of them last night and will get a second set tonight.

Neptune too, again as seen from Sydney with the Thirty Millimetre Telescope.

The giffification erased Triton so I've also attached the individual image to confirm that it was indeed visible on the 17th, as it just happened to be at about its maximum angular separation from Neptune.

Tonight and tomorrow night are both forecast to be completely clear and I feel like I should set my telescope to work, but I'm finding it tricky to select some targets.

Early in the night there are big nebulae in the plane of the Milky Way visible but I've already done those, there'll be a bright gibbous Moon right amongst them, and they'll get too low after just a few hours after dark anyway.

Late in the night the Horsehead Nebula is an option, and one I haven't got a good image of yet, but that won't be high enough for me until about 2:30 am.

For most of the night there's a big lot of not very much overhead apart from scattered globular clusters, galaxies and planetary nebulae, almost all of which are too small to make for a good picture with my very short focal length Seestar.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Tonight and tomorrow night are both forecast to be completely clear and I feel like I should set my telescope to work, but I'm finding it tricky to select some targets.

Early in the night there are big nebulae in the plane of the Milky Way visible but I've already done those, there'll be a bright gibbous Moon right amongst them, and they'll get too low after just a few hours after dark anyway.

Late in the night the Horsehead Nebula is an option, and one I haven't got a good image of yet, but that won't be high enough for me until about 2:30 am.

For most of the night there's a big lot of not very much overhead apart from scattered globular clusters, galaxies and planetary nebulae, almost all of which are too small to make for a good picture with my very short focal length Seestar.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Galaxies are not what my little Seestar is best at, but I persist with this one. I've now got 3257 good 30 second exposures of it, i.e. just over 27 hours in total.

It's NGC 300, a.k.a. the Sculptor Pinwheel Galaxy, discovered in Parramatta in 1826 by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop.

As usual processed in Siril, with RC Astro, GraXpert and VeraLux scripts. Stacking all these images in one go pushed my computer to its limits and took hours. I may have to start stacking subsets and then stacking the stacks in future.
