Description

For the fist several months of the year, I am travelling and so do not have access to my Redcat, Newtonian and SCT rigs at home. I am imaging these months with the ZWO Seestar S50 because that's all I can carry with me for the time being. While processing these images leaves me missing my rigs at home more and more, I do my best with them and have been learning and using lots of new processes and scripts in PixInsight, which has been fun. So, I'm not "making a case" by posting Seestar images these months, but, given its limitations, some of these captures don't turn out too badly with enough integration time, under Bortle 7 skies with street lights all around me to boot.
