The new ASIAir is working great! I can now use my smart phone or tablet to control everything. Here are a couple narrowband examples of what I captured with this configuration. Taken from my suburban home during a bright moon. I have more to learn about narrowband.

Lunar Eclipse 2025 - The weather cooperated and I was able to get some video of the Lunar Eclipse with the Seestars. Also did some imaging with narrowband.

A Rose for Christmas? Here is The Rosette Nebula in the constellation of Monoceros. This is one of the first images I obtained from the new Seestar S30 that Santa brought me early for Christmas! The total integration time is 1.5 hours with 20s subframes. Merry Christmas! #Seestar #Astrophotography

The Pleiades Cluster, M45, in Taurus. 630 x 10s exposures taken on 2024/10/30 with the Seestar. #seestar #astrophotography

Finally migrated my Seestar processing tutorial to my website. My hope is that this gives beginners a solid headstart on learning #Pixinsight and processing their #Seestar images. xray-echo.com/amateurastro...

My website is now live! This is where authors will be posting articles about amateur radio, amateur astronomy, and model railroading! Focused towards beginners, there will be howtos, reviews, and other interesting things about these three hobbies. www.xray-echo.com

Thanks to a generous friend and ham, I have a new (to me) Drake 4B set of twins! It works great and I am looking forward to using it for Straight Key Night. #hamradio #drakeradios

Ghosts of Long Dead Stars - Here are some planetary nebula I took last night with the Seestar. Planetary Nebulae are formed when an old, medium-sized, star sheds its atmosphere and leaves behind a hot white dwarf that excites the gas from the star. #astrophotography #seestar

Love the new Seestar Mosaic mode! Here is the double cluster using the Seestar. Can't wait for the S30 to arrive in December. #astrophotography #seestar

Nice to discover Bluesky! Thanks @jessfoxbooks.com for showing me this.
