For a scope with only a 50mm aperture and 250mm focal length, it's pretty amazing what this little thing can produce.  Add to that the convenience of what it provides in terms  of portability and leave-it-aloneness once its been levelled and told what to shoot and you have one sweet little deal. it will be interesting to see what the next iteration brings.

 

This is a result of 414 ten second images stacked and processed in PixInsight ... with finishing touches in Photoshop ... specifically the Nik Collection and StarSpikes Pro 4 plugins.

 

I have the shot on my Flickr site (https://www.flickr.c...s/33774669@N00/) and Astrobin if you'd care to check it out. No 500KB restrictions there.
