October 12th 2210 GMT Moon
The Moon was waning gibbous. I found it by using Capella as
a sighter then using the skymap with the Seestar S50.
October 11th 2045 GMT Moon and More
The Moon was up but too low for the Seestar S50. I had a go, anyway.
Thin cloud was scattering moonlight everywhere. Despite this, I had a go at photographing the galaxy M77. It was behind cloud but the open cluster NGC1750 was not. I took four integration runs for a total of 27 minutes.
October 10th 2045 GMT Moon and Saturn
I photographed the Moon with the Seestar S50 by using
Capella as a sighter.
Despite the poor conditions, I had a go at Saturn.
October 6th 2220 GMT Moon and Saturn
I photographed the Moon then Saturn with the Seestar S50.
October 6th 1020 GMT Sun
I photographed the Sun with the Seestar S50.
I took some closeups of the Sun with the Seestar S50 at 4x
zoom.
October 6th 0005 GMT Moon and Saturn
I photographed the Moon and Saturn with my phone camera and was amazed to capture Saturn in the lunar glare.
I photographed the moon with the Seestar S50.
I photographed the Western Veil Nebula with the Seestar S80. I stacked 8 integration runs in Deep Sky Stacker, the longest being 74 minutes. I used the Exposure and Saturation features in GIMP to finish.
October 5th 1105 GMT Sun
There was a lot of moving cloud but I hoped to capture the Sun with the Seestar S50. I got some shots that appeared to be cloud-free.
October 5th 0035 GMT Moon and Saturn
After packing the Seestar S50 away, it cleared. I took some shots of the Moon and Saturn together with my DSLR at 70mm focal length, ISO 1600 and 1/40 second exposure.
In case the Seestar S50 lunar shots did not work, I snapped the Moon at 300mm focal length, ISO 100 and 1/1000 second exposure.
None of the shots worked.
October 5th 2345 GMT Moon and Saturn
I was trying to photograph the Moon and Saturn's moons with the Seestar S50 but cloud rolled in and I was dubious about the image quality.
I processed a single shot of the moon with the Sesetar S50.
October 4th 1815 GMT Moon
I had a bit of trouble finding the Moon with the Seestar
S50, eventually using the Skymap and manual movement.
October 4th 0845 GMT Sun
I photographed the Sun with the Seestar S50.
I zoomed to 4x to take some regional sunspot images with the Seestar S50.
October 4th 0400 GMT Jupiter and the Crab
I photographed Jupiter's moons with the Seestar S50.
I increased the zoom to 4x, turned the brightness down to
minimum, refocused and snapped Jupiter, hoping to get some details. I didn't!
I had a go at the Crab Nebula (M1) with the Seestar S50. Cloud rolled in as dawn was breaking. I did 7 integration runs, the longest being 13 minutes. I stacked using Deep Sky Stacker, GraXpert worked a treat and I adjusted the Exposure and Saturation in GIMP.
October 1st 2100 GMT Wizard Nebula
Conditions were far from perfect but there was a patch of clearish sky overhead. I photographed the Wizard Nebula in Cepheus with the Seestar S50. I did 7 runs that I stacked in Deep Sky Stacker, with the longest being 69 minutes. I tried GraXpert but had better results without it.
October 1st 2030 GMT Moon
I retried the Moon with the Seestar S50 and nailed it this
time. I stacked 10 images.
October 1st 1740 GMT Moon
I photographed the Moon with my Seestar S50 or tried to. It thought that the moon was behind a house.
October 1st 1540 GMT Sun
The sun was low in the south west, in a bank of thin cloud. I saw
three sunspots with my binoculars and filters, although there were more small
ones on the Learmonth images.
