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.

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...

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
