Playing around with the S50 Pro for the last couple of days and got some nice shots. The star trails show all the air traffic near me. 2 airports really close bring quite a bit of traffic. Where are you heading to next ✈️? We have a big adventure coming up fast and can’t wait!!🗿& 🇵🇪

Ok everyone here is the Seestar S50 Pro shooting video during the lunar eclipse. I went with the 2x zoom and sped up the time for you. It was a lot of fun capturing this. I thought I lost all the data in the middle of the night but luckily is was all in the files when hooked it up to the PC this morning.

Did a little time lapse on the eclipse with the Seestar S30 pro last night. I also have some from the S50Pro but I will post those separately.

Playing around with some new equipment. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Here is a part of the Elephant Trunk Nebula. Also some S50 pro images.

Some big news coming soon! Almost time for Starfest in Canada 🇨🇦. In meantime here is a photo of Andromeda Galaxy I took at Nebraska Star Party last month.

Here are a couple more photos from the Nebraska Star Party. I had a short window to test the 180 wide field on the Milky Way from the Seestar S30 Pro. I look forward to working with this some more and expand the time out some. I also shot the Blue Horse Head Nebula with my FF65 and ASI2600AIR. This target will be better with a little longer focal length but I wanted to give it a try.

It has been a busy week. I left WV for Nebraska for another star party. Drove 1,000 miles in a day to make it on time 😜!! At least we have clear skies! A little windy but my Starpoint Australius Phoenix tent has that covered and my Seestar 30 pro is rocking the Milky Way. Still a few days to go but here are some pictures of the trip so far.

Take me home WV!!!
WVAA star party for a couple of days. Nothing but down pouring rain. Maybe the next event will bring the sunshine and clear skies.
Definitely a nice area around here in Davis, WV.

Burned the candle at both ends yesterday. After work we headed out for some testing of our new S30 pro in the desert. Got back about 4:30am. We wrap up the show today but it is going great here.
