I’m borrowing the Seestar from a friend and tried to make the best of it while I have it. I did a video on the Seestar here if anyone’s interested: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qo24kndLoWY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qo24kndLoWY)
I used Ed Ting’s video on the Seestar as a jumping off point for mine.
About the images:
* Taken from my Bortle 8 Backyard:
* M13 – 15 mins
* NGC6888 – 45 mins
* Taken from my astronomy club’s field in a Bortle 6 location
* M94 – 66 mins
* M101 – 116 mins
* NGC 7635 – 73 Mins
* Taken from a Bortle 3 location in Vermont
* M16 – 90 mins
* All individual exposures are 10 secs each
* They were all post-processed in Pixinsight. The video link above has comaprison of the live stack vs post-processed versions at the 7:30 mark
The weather in New England has been terrible this summer so I didn’t get the amount of data I wanted on any of these targets.
I have some more details on my Astrobin here: [https://www.astrobin.com/users/naztronomy/](https://www.astrobin.com/users/naztronomy/) – Only 3 of the 6 images are posted there as of this thread but I’ll post the rest soon.
Happy to answer questions.

Fellow New Englander here! Weather has been 🗑️ for 🌚 watching. Anyway, picture 6 is fantastic.

Edit: The sixth pic looks like a hawk. Dope.
