6.5 hours with a Seestar S50 from a Bortle 4 location and you can get a murderously difficult to process Abell 39 in Hercules. Low surface brightness and very spherical.

de maan, zojuist gekiekt met de #seestarS50. nog behoorlijk oranje en blurry, door de lage stand boven de horizon

Because the UK sky gods continue to smile upon me, here’s some more #SeestarS50 #Astrophotography
This is NGC 3631, a ‘small’ spiral galaxy seen face on. You can find it in Ursa Major, and it’s an absolute gem.
An hour of imaging here. Noise reduction by Seestar, black point and definition tweaks by iOS. -

So just below M86 here is a wee smudge of pixels. They are vaguely pinkish (zoomed in here so the colour is an artefact).
Those pixels a PGC169281 a galaxy that is A) travelling away from us at 11% the speed of light & B) is 2 BILLION light years away!Blows my mind. Photons travelled for 2+ BILLION YEARS & then got captured by an image sensor. When they set off, life round these parts was basically unicellular. Incredible. The most distant object I've ever seen.

Right then! For the first time this year basically I got a GOOD night of #Astronomy and #Astrophotography with the #SeestarS50. And it’s Galaxy Season. And I got the scope to do 20s subs with basically NO rejections. Truly the astronomy gods smiled upon me last night. So here’s a wee thread of the captured photons. For all bat two of these I watched the light come in as well. Old Skool me. 1/

Picture of #NGC891 better known as the #SilverSliver. Quite a bit of light pollution, but I'm still continuously impressed with my #seestars50

Horsehead nebula
60mins of 10second exposures with Seestar S50, processed in Siril. The moon was nearly full. This thing is good fun.

Some images from last night.
We have Centaurus A, the Jewel box cluster and southern Pleiades (IC 2602) from the Dwarf and a mosaic of the running chicken nebula from the Seestar.

For the first time, I put my #seestarS50 and #dwarf3 out in the same location, looking at the same object, at the same time for supposedly the same length of time. I have felt that the Dwarf was better but didn’t ’zoom in’ enough, so the Seestar would get me closer to an object. Now I have some evidence and no, the Dwarf wins even in that domain. Consider the images.
The dwarf has a wider field of view but a much higher resolution so you can zoom in on the image and get a closer in view of the object than the Seestar.
The image is less noisy on the dwarf (both had their respective denoise algorithms applied)
I’m sure there are situations where the Seestar will shine, but for this #astrophotography, I will stay with the Dwarf.Note that both were scheduled for 1 hour of airtime but frames were dropped because of reasons I am not sure about, but probably because of streaks, blurs or planes flying through leaving trails.
