Thatβs brilliant, thanks for capturing it! Part of me wants to give up taking photos because these Seestar things are so good, but I am also tempted to get one of my own if I can sell a few bikesβ¦

The sky cleared at 10pm last night, took a 7min RAW video of the moon then stacked the file into this image, that took an hour and then I had to go to bed so no more stargazing!

Looking at your photos sort of justifies wanting one. Looking at your photos sort of negates the need for one.

I totally get you. You could just download the app and look at the community stuff, which is what I did when it first appeared. It whets the appetite tho'. π

Finally got a clear, moonless night. Excuse the OTT post in Android Photoshop, I still haven't hooked the Seestar up to my laptop to try some proper editing. Sol, Orion Nebula (again, sorry!) and the Carina Nebula.
I'm still having fun. π€©

Amazing that a dickhead like you can get shots like that in their garden.
Super cool.

Those images do look great on your phone but it's not such a great experience when you look at them on a big screen, that's when the Seestar's limitations come into very sharp, er, focus. Or not, as the case may be. π€‘
I may sell it while they're still a hot item and wait for the next generation, a bigger CCD would be absolutely fantastic.
It's super fun and very addictive, total gateway telescope. π

I was out looking at ducks and things this morning and enjoyed this view of sunspots

We haven't had a clear night in over two weeks, it's been a shit first summer with the Seestar, been out only a handful of times with it. Very unusual for where we are.

Been waiting for the sky to clear to see the comet near Andromeda but no luck.

We still get plenty of sun (π) just no clear nights. Very frustrating when you've had a beautiful day without a cloud in the sky and the moment the sun goes down it's overcast!

But TBH if it's gonna be cloudy at some point in the day I'd much rather have a sunny day. That's down to years of putting up with shit weather over there.
So I'll stop moaning. π
Here you go, it miraculously cleared up long enough to grab 15mins or so pointing at it. Not the clearest imaging but it's quite a small object in the sky, isn't it?
Right, I'm away to bed! π
