NGC 6334 - Cat's Paw Nebula

[JimFox]

I captured this a few weeks back with the SeeStar S50 and testing the EQ mode with it. It worked well.

This is of NGC 6334, the Cat's Paw nebula from out at Joshua Tree National Park.

I ran it at 20 sec subs. I got 773 captured, and Pixinsight rejected 33 and another 26 failed while stacking leaving a total of 714 that got stacked. So that's pretty good. To get 238 mins worth of subs and there was no Field Rotation? That's a win.

Interesting looking chunk of space in this scene. It does resemble a cat's paw too.

Thanks Alan! And I was impressed with how much more detail the Seestar seems to pull out when it's turned into an EQ mount.

Nice one Jim. EQ mode on the Seestar is defo a game changer. Think I'm going to have to point mine at this as well

Thanks Andy! EQ mode is really helpful and elevates the S50's game. I have only done it a couple of times, but each time worked out well.

And yeah, I would look forward to seeing what you get of the old Cat's Paw!

The EQ mode is really elevating the results you get with that SeeStar. Impressive result.
