I thought I was going to get some more mosaics of the moon last night but local trees defeated me. I saw Orions Belt very clearly so set up the Seestar, this time it behaved itself (could be no user error!).
Got about 30 minutes of subs but only looked at them this morning. I saw that Seestar had stacked and processed already and the resulting jpg was quite good so I gave it some minimal post in Windows Photos and Topaz. I know the stars are a bit weird etc. and it's not "real" astrophotography but I'll live with that, at least I didn't spend half a day on Siril and Photoshop!
Anyway, I watched Ed Ting on YT have a right go at the Seestar. He didn't quite say it was a toy but was very definite in that it was early days for smart telescopes and we should all wait until they get better. For goodness sake Ed, I'm 77 this week, how long should I wait?
