How do yall/they decide what photo are better then others? How do some get pushed way back in no time and others which or equal or less get pushed way forwards in no time? Sounds like im complaining but im jus curious as to how this works. Whats looked at ? What matters the most?

我叫陈友郊，今年34岁，早已不是可以肆意做梦的年纪。可从13岁起，我心里就藏着一个在旁人看来近乎荒唐的理想——成为一名天文学家，奔赴太空，亲眼看一看宇宙最遥远的深处。 我出生在四川宜宾筠连县的一个偏僻小山村，去一趟镇上要来回步行三个小时。2000年左右，家里还住着瓦房，父母早早去了远方打工，我是跟着爷爷奶奶长大的留守儿童。 农村的夏夜格外干净，尤其正月十几的夜晚，夜空透亮，银河横跨天际，繁星满天，伴着萤火虫飞舞，还有田间此起彼伏的蛙鸣与蝈蝈叫声。那时我才十岁，总爱独自躺在田野里，仰头望着漫天星辰发呆。偶尔有流星划过，我不懂那是什么，只觉得震撼；那条白茫茫的银河，我曾天真地以为，那是天上流淌的河。 也是从那时起，一颗关于宇宙的种子，悄悄在我心里扎了根。后来无数个夜晚，我都痴痴望着夜空，凭着自己的观察，找到了那把悬在天上的“勺子”——北斗七星。 可惜命运没有给我继续追梦的底气。初中毕业，全班54个同学，只有寥寥几人考上镇上的高中，剩下的大多只能回家务农，或是早早外出打工，这似乎是我们农村孩子逃不开的宿命。我不算聪明，甚至有些愚钝，九年读书时光浑浑噩噩。也曾想努力改变，试过天不亮就六点起床背书，可成绩始终排在末尾。父母不在身边，无人督促学业，老师也多是抱着无所谓的态度，当时学校三分之一的老师都是支教而来，教育条件实在有限。 那场关于星空的梦，在我初中毕业踏入社会、开始为生计奔波时，渐渐被现实淹没。之后几年，我在外务工，只为养活自己。辗转多地后，我从广东回到四川成都，做了一名理发师，一干就是14年。 这些年里，我的天文梦死灰复燃过无数次，而这一次，是燃烧得最猛烈的一回。 去年，我遇见了我的妻子。她温柔美好，从第一眼见到她，我便满心欢喜。婚后的一个夜晚，我对着她倾诉了埋藏多年的理想，说着说着就红了眼眶泪流满面。不知从何时起，这份年少的理想，早已变成了一种使命感——我想为人类的天文事业尽一份力，想去探索、去研究宇宙，为此我愿意付出包含我生命在内的所有，乃至一生。 为了这份使命，我重新捡起了小学和初中的数学，高中与大学的知识晦涩难懂，我也没有学习的资源。只能依赖豆包Ai指导我 如今的我依旧窘迫，只有初中学历，没有背景，没有积蓄，勉强维持生计，除了这份刻在骨子里的执念，几乎一无所有。可如果真的有机会靠近我的理想，我一定会拼尽全力，百倍珍惜。

2月初拿到的机器，成都这个烂天一共拍了三四次。 主要都在楼顶拍，EQ模式，架子是TC-7，齿轮云台。45度高度角光污染SQM大概17.4，单张10 s背景噪声就淹没了而且大气扰动非常厉害，20s除非目标在50度以上高度角不然丢帧率超级高。 后期流程Siril+GraXpert+PS,去梯度反卷积降噪SPCC去星，买不起RC三件套，前三张都是jpg XL HDR图片。 有两个建议不知道有没有人听，第一就是App里面建议加上子帧质量监控信息最好有日志，每次一个多小时后不可避免飘移积累了自动堆栈出来的结果越来越差的时候可以通过子帧质量决定是不是重新开始自动增强。 第二个就是拍摄的时候加入温度变化自动对焦功能（官方EAF那种)，机内反正已经有温度传感器了（fits文件信息里有），有自动对焦整夜让它拍比较放心。 有了上面两个东西我觉得能更好发挥全自动优势，本来口径小要拼时长，把可靠性再做好点就更好了。不知道年底S50 Pro出来的时候能不能加上这些。 另外自己打了个磁吸遮光罩打算下次试试，官方最好出一个更好的方案。

Using the iOptron Cube Pro and trying to get it aligned with the moon. But when I select the target my mount rotates directly north. In the photo, the bright spot is the moon and you can see which way the scope is pointing after I select moon to target. All my coordinates are correct.

I'm still going with my Messier Grand Slam quest but some objects, like the sombrero galaxy, aren't being recognised by this app and then that causes the badge to not fill up. Anyone have a solution for this?

Can anyone help me with the Seestar S30Pro's charge time? I have just received mine and I have been charging it for ~3h now and it still only flashes the third(from bottom to top) light. Also, how does it indicate it has been fully charged? I am new to Seestar products and I want to first have it fully charged before connecting to it for the first time as I assume there will be some software/firmware update(s) to be done during that initial connection. Thank you all for taking the time to read and possibly chime in!

I am trying to complete the Messier Grand Slam, but it seems that the M77 Squid Nebula will require me to wait until mid June before giving me the chance to capture it from my 44.29N,11.00E position. It is now just around (behind) the Sun all day, and the morning rise is still too coincident with the Sunrise. Anyone getting M77 in these days from other locations in the world?

If your on this app then you know the earth is not flat, how do I convince my husband the earth is round?

Hi everyone! I just joined AstroImg and I'm super excited because my new Seestar S30 Pro just arrived. This is my first time doing astrophotography, so I can't wait to take it out under the stars. Right now, I'm just getting familiar with the app and the gear. Any golden tips for a newbie on their first night out? What target would you recommend for my "first light" at this time of year? Cheers and clear skies! ✨
