My backyard is extremely light polluted, there's a bright street light literally right over it, and there's tall buildings all around which means there's only a very limited area of sky that's visible. Even on a clear night it's difficult to make out anything but the brightest stars and planets with the naked eye.
I never thought photos like this would be possible here, and yet I can set up my telescope and let it do its thing while I sit inside, warm and comfortable.
All images are done with 10 second exposures, stacked and processed entirely in the Seestar app.
1: M31 - Andromeda Galaxy (45 minutes total integration time)
2: NGC 281 - Pacman Nebula (20 mins integration)
3: NGC 1545 (5 mins integration)
4: NGC 1499 - California Nebula (40 mins integration)
It's the first reasonably clear night since I got my #Seestar #S30 so I took it down by the river to see what it could do. I'm seriously impressed with the results! These are just using the stacking and denoise/enhancement options in the app, no external software. #astronomy #astrophotography
1: M42 (Orion Nebula), 24x10 second subs
