Finally got a decent look at Lemmon and SWAN. Had the Seestar S30 run while scanning with binos. Lemmon was tough! about mag 4.5 but closer to +7 visually; the tail gave it away. SWAN (~mag 9) was only visible in images and looks fragmented in the latest #comet #seestarS30 #ZWO

AI Clickbait slop and people touting theories as fact is making it harder for the genuinely curious get to the real science.

I have to admit. I've never heard of this one before. Looks like a super target but I'm guessing it's out of my reach in terms of position and brightness. Anybody image this one? #astrophotography

This Lightweight Carbon Tripod Might Be All You Need.
I’ve been testing the @neewer LT38 Travel Tripod, and I’m genuinely impressed.

✅ Compact & lightweight
✅ Holds heavy gear (22lb / 10Kg)
✅ Superb Ball head
✅ And yes… it’s replacing my heavier travel tripod.

You’ll see posts today about the Bootid Meteor Shower. Best to know it averages 1 meteor an hour, about the same as random sporadics. So keep your expectations in check.
Still a nice excuse to get outside under the stars!

Retested the MSM Nomad Tracker last week under amazing skies. Review video dropping soon on YouTube #StargazerMan

Took the DWARF LAB Dwarf3 to 2200m high on Tenerife to shoot under excellent skies in EQ mode and here are some of the results. #dwarflab #dwarf3

Mosaic mode engaged! 🧩
This Lagoon + Trifid Nebula shot was stitched together using the Seestar S30’s in-app mosaic feature — 1 hour total exposure.

#fullmoon

Follow me for #astrophotogrsphy, #astronomy and all things Stargazing.

🌕 On the night of June 10 into June 11, the #fullmoon will transit very low on the horizon if you’re in the northern hemisphere. This happens every 18.6 years during what’s called a major #lunarstandstill when the Moon reaches its furthest points north and south of the Sun’s path. #lunar

🌋 Star Trails over Teide 🌌
long-exposure shot from Tenerife’s Mt. Teide with the stars arcing around the Northern and Southern celestial poles. The blue glow? Emergency crews helping hikers at night.

Captured the Lagoon Nebula (M8) with the Seestar S30 from 2200m up on Mount Teide under pristine Tenerife skies. 🌌
33 min exposure, processed using the app’s built-in denoise & stretch tools.

Gearing up for a night under the stars in the caldera of Mt. Teide volcano with our club’s 15" Obsession Dobsonian. 🔭

Hit follow if you're into deep sky visuals, smart scopes, and astrophotography from dark skies. Plenty more to come.

FOV comparison between the #seestar S50 & S30 on M51.
A night apart from my back yard, Bortle 4, 1st quarter moon. The IMX662 sensor in the S30 does a great job of capturing colors and overall, I prefer it's performance to the IMX462 in the S50.

YouTube video by StargazerMan Seestar EQ mode is a GAMECHANGER. See how to set up in this short video. Perfect 30 sec exposures!

Tried EQ mode on the #Seestar S30 for the first time. Super simple setup! Shot M51 from my Bortle 4 yard (30s subs, 45min total). Stacked/denoised in-app. Great star points + nice detail! Full vid here: youtu.be/OKeYGW0VK6A

The AI Denoise feature on the #seestar does a really good job of cleaning up the Images and revealing the details!
Rosette Nebula, Pleiades and The Beehive clusters.

YouTube video by StargazerMan Seestar S30 | A Compact, Portable and Easy to Use smartscope for only $349? - Let's fully test it!

Could the ZWO Seestar S30 be the best entry level astrophotography scope? I test it out! Targets are the Sun, Moon, scenery and deep sky objects. I try the new Mosaic Mode and AI Denoise. Check it out! (Also - please subscribe and give a like!)

The lunar 'X' & 'V' visible last night. The X only lasted a few hours but the V was vidib till I eventually went to bed. 🥱
#moon #astronomy

The Rosette, N. America & Witches Head Nebula with Andromeda galaxy thrown in for good measusre from last nights imaging run with the ZWO #Seestar S30. Perfect conditions under Bortle 3 skies on the West Coast of Ireland.

Merry Christmas Tree Cluster (NGC2264) 🎄 to you all!

#SeestarS0 #Smartscope

This is just a 2 min(!) stack of the Orion Nebula/M42 using the Seestar S30. What an impressive little scope. The darker image is with the AI de-noise done.
#smartscope #SeestarS30 @ZWO_Astrophotography

The #Seestar S30 arrived! Quick 20-min first light test of the PacMan Nebula between rain gaps. ‘After’ shot w/ AI Denoise (Spikes I added in PS), ‘Before’ also shown. Super impressed! Full S30 review vids coming soon on my YouTube channel www.youtube.com/@StargazerMan 🔭
