Probably a good reminder to label either in name or description which smart telescope you are using

First Light with SeeStar.  M31, mostly trial and error learning what does what.  Image reduced in size for posting.  Happy with the results.  Pat Utah  smile.gif

Added a few to the shared gallery, but sometimes tough to also upload here on CN, as I'm posting so many places too!

 

There is an eVscope group on Astrobin I started, check it out: https://www.astrobin...vscope-imagers/

 

Since getting two of these at my club, members have taken about 1,000 photos so far this year with the Unistellar eVscopes. I can't keep up with posting them all, nor does anyone want to view 1,000 photos - but I post a few here and there on our club site: https://milwaukeeast...ase/eVscope.asp

 

Here's one of my favorite lunar shots, taken with the eVscope 2:

I really like moon photos that give the 3d affect instead of the flatness that is common, I’m not really sure technically what exposure causes the difference but I consider your photo outstanding because of that

The Jellyfish Nebula (IC 443).  56 minutes with Seestar.  I had to crop it to meet size limits.  Straight out of scope with no post processing.

Two from the weekend.  Solar was processed in Autostakkert 4.   M1 was captured with ~20 minutes integration time and using the internal Dual band filter.   Processed in PI. The last image is the unprocessed stack from the scope.

I wanted to have a go at objects that are not going to be visible soon - passing comets.
I wish that I had the Seestar available, for Halley's Comet in 1986; instead of my Tasco 3" Newtonian on a fork-and-rod az/alt mount.

Let's not forget the smart scopes image gallery.This thread is just to direct your attention to that gallery, which was newly established to accommodate this forum and it's different kinds of smart scopes.

Folks we have posted five times within this thread that the dedicated gallery,linked in post #1,#4,#11, #13,and #17) is the general place to share your pictures, not this thread.We understand the confusion and because of this we are locking the thread for now. Post them here,regardless of which smart scope you use and whether you process or not,the dedicated gallery is for those of us who want to randomly share images.Any and all details about your image (scope,exp,processing,etc) is both welcome and most useful to other forum participants. Thanks!
