Object orientation in the sky versus how it comes out in an image: does it matter or not?

Does anyone reeeeeally pay attention to the orientation of a target? Or does anyone even pay attention to that stuff? I know i don't pay attention to north is up or whatever but just wanted to see what yall think. Clear Skies yall!

is the light pollution filter worth it?

I have been using the light pollution filter but my images become heavily red shifted and look only passingly like reference photos I see elsewhere. See my second image of the Orion Nebula vs my first (attached) for examples of no light pollution filter versus the filter being turned on. I posted an image of the monkey head nebula last night that I took with the light pollution filters but I only posted after painstakingly adjusting the colors to be closer to the typical brown seen in most images. I still couldn't get it anywhere near what I was aiming for. I live just outside in a big city, but I think it might be easier to adjust for the the effects of light pollution in post processing than it is to adjust for the red saturation that the light pollution filter brings. I'm going to begin testing this tonight but... any thoughts or personal anecdotes on the matter?

What's the minimum temperature allowed for using AsiAir?

Hello! ? I'd like to point out two issues I encountered in freezing temperatures: 1) The sheath and insulation of the power cable (from the outlet to the power supply) included with AsiAir breaks (bursts) in freezing temperatures from the slightest bend! This is extremely dangerous for the equipment and life-threatening for the astronomer, as the copper wires are exposed! 2) In "Live" mode (I've only noticed this in this mode so far), the WiFi spontaneously disconnects in freezing temperatures. It can't be reset with the "reset" button, but only by turning off AsiAir. It's likely that AsiAir itself is experienc ing an error in freezing temperatures, as I noticed no footage was saved for the 1.5 hours of shooting before the phone disconnected from AsiAir.

Why not add an observation calendar?

Hello Folks, why not add an observation calendar based on our position and local weather with different suggestions and recommendation to use your Seestar? maybe it's exciting, it's present or the ZWO team could create?

S.W.A.G. TEAM

🌕 February S.W.A.G. Challenge: “To the Moon and Back!” 🌕

This month, we turn our lenses toward something that is both friend and foe.Loved and hated.But always beautiful.That's right — we're heading back to an old friend: the Moon. In honor of NASA's upcoming Artemis II mission, February's challenge is dedicated to our celestial neighbor. But in true S.W.A.G. spirit, we're not looking for just another moon photo — we want creativity, vision, and personality.Think outside the orbit:Compose a dramatic moonrise over your favorite landscape.Capture a moonlit nightscape with stars shimmering nearby.Create a collage of lunar phases that tells a story.Or, for the gearheads among us, take us on a tour of a crater or rile using your biggest telescope.The Moon's the limit! And that's not all — February also marks the Lunar New Year, ushering in the Year of the Horse. So feel free to add symbolic touches, cultural nods, or even creative interpretations tied to renewal, strength, and movement.Bonus Challenge:For those ready to push their limits — see if you can capture a lunar transit of Artemis II. It'll be tough, but when has S.W.A.G. ever backed down from a challenge?Let's light up February with moonlight and imagination.And as always, Per Aspera, Ad Astra

Is it normal for the degrees below the compass calibration, to constantly change?

Does anybody know why did this happened?

I was trying to take a picture of the fire nebula and left the S50 to work but when I returned and hour and a half later this was the result. I did't try the mosaic mode or anything else. Never happened before. Could be because of the earth rotation? Thanks in advance for your help!
