but that's how most of the pictures are made, you take thousands of images with a tracking telescope and then stack them and do loads of post processing.

Yeah, I understand how stacking works. My point is, AFAIAA, the field of view on the Seestar isn't able to resolve a small enough portion of the sky for you to combine images to make an image of (for example) the Orion nebula. Does that make sense? It's field of view is too large, it can't magnify that much.
You would be able to get a nice sized image of Andromeda because it's a fairly large object in the sky. You could probably tile four images together to get quite a large high resolution image.
I'm probably missing something, I am not an astrophotographer but very keen to understand what this machine's technical abilities/limitations are.

That might work for a large target like the moon but not for a smaller one like a nebula. I'll check that out but I think the depth of field is fixed so you can't zoom in to targets and do as you suggest.
On a side note, it's not good for planetary observation, tho' there may be a software update to improve that shortly. It's great that you can use it for solar observation as well, it's a pretty versatile tool!
