🌕 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!

S50 power via a mains charger?

Can I power the s50 by having a charger plugged into the mains for all night imaging?

图像处理小技巧

Any tips or good tutorials to help process.?

The first photo is my attempt and the second one is my end goal I got some data sets off of telescope live to practise processing I did a pretty good one for the rosette nebula but I'm struggling on this one (the cat paw nebula) and I can't seem to find a YouTube video that is good what I specifically need so if anyone knows a YouTube video that can help me or any tips that would be great. I use siril or dss for stacking I use graxpert and adobe photoshop and the files are halpha, OIII and SII

Seestar S50 Mosaic Mode $^@&$ IMO

Unpopular opinion, perhaps, but the Seestar S50's built-in mosaic mode doesn't yield great results. While heavy post-processing can help, artifacts like noise and false color often degrade even otherwise good images. The in-app AI tools do improve appearance, but they can also make the results feel artificial or generative-AI-like. Is this just user error on my part, or do others also find the mosaic mode less than impressive?
