The journey continues
This is my Seestar S50 smart telescope that I’ve had at Star Front Remote Observatories since August of 2024. It has offered me an affordable way to have a telescope at a remote observatory in a bortle 1 night sky. The journey has been great and it’s always getting better.
Equipment: ZWO Seestar S50 smart telescope mounted in equatorial mode on a William Optics EQ wedge with a green Skywatcher dovetail plate. On the bottom center is my ZWO 662MC camera that I use as a pier camera to be able to view the Seestar and the night sky as it captures pictures. It also helps to keep any eye on any cable snags or other issues. The white cable clip on the scope and second clip on the North wall help reduce cable wrap as the telescope rotates while tracking the stars. Not pictured is my Mac mini M2 computer controlling the Seestar. It is mounted on the wall below the scope. I access the rig remotely with Chrome Remote Desktop, and it works great!

Here are some images I captured recently with the Seestar at Star Front. All images are straight out of the Seestar S50 with no external post processing. I am looking to collaborate with an experienced person that really knows Pixinsight, Siril, Photoshop, etc. If you are interested, please get in touch with me via the contact page.
