Carlos, I have to say that's as good as anything I have captured with my regular Astro gear. Great job!

I ordered the Seestar on the last day of the sale, so I am not expecting mine until December.

Thanks Jim ! It's a great piece of kit for the price paid. It is now my goto for an ultraportable setup. The raw data it captures seems to be good, I found I had to stop acquiring and manually refocus a few times, hopefully a software update (and a few others) will make this more friendly. I'm sure you will enjoy it especially when you go on your travels. I was imaging the Sun about 5 mins after unboxing...it is that easy to use !. What is not easy is inspecting the raw subs pre-stack. It is not 100% on which subs it should keep, I had numerous cloud intrusion subs that slipped thru. That is why I hinted about star count in the filename. Straight away you can tell if it's cullable without even opening it...then final inspection using Blink (this target had about 850 images but whittled down to 733 after culling)
