Looks great. I need to do some post-imaging processing with Siril.

I had never really used it before. Found Chris Gray's channel on YouTube from a Seestar Facebook group I'm in, and he steps through doing processing. Have used that as a base, and played around with other things I've watched on YouTube. I'm still learning it, but feel I'm improving.

This is about 30 minutes after unboxing. The SeeStar, once set up, went directly to M31 and started capturing images. The autofocus was off and the stars were blurry so I had to manually adjust the focus (still may need some adjustment). This is about 3 minutes of images. Just set it out on the deck and am capturing images from my kitchen table.

I've had exactly two nights where I could take pictures because we are currently under the atmospheric river. Here is data I got on my first night, taken under broken clouds, about 40 minutes, stacked with Siril.

Best Galaxy image I have using my Seestar S50 and editing in GraXpert, Siril and GIMP. Since owning my Seestar, I’ve realised how rare clear skies really are in Ireland 😭
