Finally figured out how to capture Saturn on the Nexstar 8SE. It sure makes me appreciate how simple the SeeStar scopes are😂. More software to learn as well.🙄 #Saturn #Astrophotography #CelestronNexstar8SE #PNW #Photography

This is when I wished I lived out in the middle of nowhere. Seestar S30 Pro and now the S50 will be working on the North American nebula tonight. #Astrophotography #SeestarS30Pro #SeestarS50 #PNW #Photography

I picked up a used SeeStar S50 from a family member. They are upgrading to the S50 Pro🥰. It’s going to be nice having to running at the same time especially with one on wide FOV and the other narrow FOV. The elephant nebula on the S50 #Astrophotography #SeestarS50 #PNW #Photography

Tweaked the Orion Nebula again. I wasn't quite happy with the previous one (to dark) and I learned some new tips since then. I am liking this version better. Previous version is first. Which do you like better? #astrophotography #seestarS30Pro #Photography #PNW

Added another 3 hours and change to the Lobster Nebula. These pictures are now at 4 hours of data. The first picture is with reduced star brightness and second is normal star brightness. I finally found the right color tool! #Astrophotography #SeeStarS30Pro #Photography #PNW

Updated images stacked with Siril and edited with Astrowizard. For the Lobster claw Nebula I did one with less brightness on the stars and a normal star brightness. The Pacman Nebula is last. #astrophotography #SeeStarS30Pro #PNW #Photography

I did a new Lunar time lapse from tonight. This I shot it in raw so I should be able to edit tomorrow and get s picture from the time lapse. Taken with the SeeStar S30 Pro at 4X #Astrophotography #Moon #Timelapse #photography

Well my dumb ass forgot to shoot the eclipse in RAW format on my Seestar, so I’m not able to edit a final image😡. I’m going to post the time lapse video I took. I’m not happy since it gets jumpy near the end. Mistakes noted and will learn from them for next time. #Astrophotography #Photography

I reprocessed the Ring Nebula files all 450 of them. Silly me thought it was half that. 90 minutes later it finally finished! It was worth the wait. New postprocessing software is much more robust and worth the time. First two pictures are the new files. #astrophotography #photography #PNW

I have been forcing muscle to use some Astrophotography software for post processing of my images. Siril for stacking and Astrowizard for fine tuning. First 2 pictures were done on Seestar App the last two on the apps mentioned above. #Astrophotography #Photography #Learningnewthings

Last night I captured IC 1318 the Sadr Region or the Butterfly Nebula. This was a little over a 1 hour 30 minutes of exposure time (300x20s). 1st picture unedited, 2d picture edited in the Seestar app. #Astrophotography #SeestarS30Pro #PNW #Photography

Tonight’s capture was M27 The Dumbbell Nebula. Total capture time was about 70 minutes (A little over 400 pictures at 10 seconds). This Nebula is approximately 1200-1300 light years away. #Astrophotography #SeestarS30Pro #PNW #Photography

Tonight’s capture was M13 The Hercules Cluster. Attempted 300/10, but ended up with 97/10 due to some clouds rolling through. I’m still happy with how the 10s exposure turned out. #Astrophotography #SeestarS30Pro #PNW #Photography

Jason @an0mander.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

I was able to capture M57 The Ring Nebula correctly tonight with 250/10s. Last time I over exposed at 20s. First picture the Ring Nebula is in the center. Subsequent it gets bigger. #Astrophotography #SeeStarS30Pro #PNW #Photography

Finally got my first Mythic Unique on Diablo 4! Let’s just say the RNG didn’t like me since it took forever😂. I got DoomBringer doing the Infernal Hordes on Torment III (possibly II) fighting Bartuc. It was part of my rewards for defeating Bartuc. #Diablio4 #gaming #thestreakisover
