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

Here’s 3 hrs from tonight’s session with the North American Nebula. The second picture is the data from the other night and tonight for a total of 5.5hrs. All stacked and edited on Seestar. #Astrophotography #SeestarS30Pro #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

Jason @an0mander.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

It will be interesting combining both of the data in the post process part. I have some more learning to do!

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

Here is the Elephant Trunk Nebula from last night with 2.5 hours of data stacked. First image is from the Seestar app (second is just cropped of the first). Third picture is stacked in Siril and edited in Astrowizard. #astrophotography #SeestarS3Pro #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

Lobster Claw Nebula. Doh!

Jason @an0mander.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

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

Jason @an0mander.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Interesting enough I think I like the final image of the Lobster Nebula from the Seestar App than what I did with Astrowizard. Most likely I didn't make a right choice in trying to bring out the nebula more, so will need to work on that more along with getting more data!

Jason @an0mander.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

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

Two targets last night. Each have two pictures. 1 first before edit, second after editing. All done with Seestar App. First two pictures are SH-2 The Lobster Nebula. The second two are NGC 317 The Pacman Nebula. #Astrophotography #SeestarS30Pro #Photography #PNW

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

Jason @an0mander.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

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

Correction, here is the edited Siril and Astrowizard picture 🙄. First picture was the enhanced picture from the Seestar App

It was a good night last night. 2nd capture. Here’s NGC 6946 The Fitecracker Galaxy. Captured (1hr capture time) with Seestar S30 Pro. Stacked with Siril and edited with AstroWizard. #Astrophotography #SeestarS30Pro #Siril #AstroWizard #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

Fantastic shot! Fairy lights would look great wrapped around this as well!

Jason @an0mander.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

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

Jason @an0mander.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

My capture for tonight was IC 5146. the Cocoon Nebula. This was just a little over an hour of exposure time (200x20s). #Astrophotography #SeestarS30Pro #PNW #Photography

Jason @an0mander.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

I reshot the Butterfly Nebula tonight with the Light pollution filter off. 1st picture is from tonight (250x20) and edited from the software. Second picture was from Sunday with light pollution filter on. #Astrophotography #SeestarS30Pro #PNW #Photography

Jason @an0mander.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

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

It looks wonderful with the unreal engine.

Jason @an0mander.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

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

Jason @an0mander.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

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

030

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

My new Solar Filter made from (Astrosolar 0.5 film from Baader Planetarium) on a 3D print from Etsy. It gives some incredible details (pictures in blue) compared to the one that came with the telescope (Orange pictures). All pictures taken today. #astrophotography #photography #SeestarS30pro #PNW

My problem with the Steam Machine is there are still certain games that I will play that use Kernel level protection. Those games would not be on the Steam Machine.

110

Jason @an0mander.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

I’m totally losing faith in them as well. Most likely will be skipping out on all consoles next gen and just build a mini pc for the living room.

Jason @an0mander.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

I really can’t figure out why they don’t release a game that is close to completion, unless we are looking at a “Redfall” situation. I highly doubt State of Decay 3 is in that category, but after Redfall anything is possible.

Jason @an0mander.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Experimenting with Metal prints. Fairly happy with how my Sun Voyager picture turned out (I could have cropped it better I think). First picture is with indoor lighting. Second natural lighting. #Photography ##Sunvoyager #Iceland #metalprint

Last nights target was Messier 3(M3; also NGC 5272). This was a little less than two hours of exposure time total. First picture is the original shot on the Seestar S30 Pro, second is cropped showing the Globular details. #Astrophotography #SeestarS30Pro #PNW #Photography
