What make Seestar S50 badly tracking ?

I was very disappointed by last night session. I use the Seestar S50 in ÉQ mode and I repeated several times the polar alignment procedure until I reached (0°, 0.1°) of residual pointing error. Which 50 mm aperture, I am expecting foot Earth rotation compensation with such error. Also, last night, sky condition were very nice, no Sirius, no wind. Despite this, all my 20s and above exposure exhibited star trails of 10th of pixel long, rejection rate 100%. I did in the past manage to have 60s exposure. What could have been wrong ?

My image of NGC7380 was on 1st place popular and suddenly disappeared?

Anyone knows why this would happen? I haven't used AI or cheated in any sort of way. The image was 1st place and then suddenly disappered entirely from the page, when normally they would like go forward and then back. Any ideas are welcome!

Is Pixinsight/blurXterminator worth it (as a barely hobby astrophotog)?

So I'm editing all my images with Siril (stacking, stretching and star removal), GraXpert(noise reduction, background and deconvolution of objects) and finally photoshop for all the composing and editing. I had tried Pixinsight with bXt and although the gained details where quite astonishing (I guess thats why its used so much in the first place), I think the software is awful in terms of user interface. So, any thoughts on this are welcome!

thinking about getting the ASIAIR Mini for camera?

I have an iOptron Cube Pro that does all the tracking, so would the ASIAIR be worth getting? I'm intrigued with the idea of less cables, and being able to use my tablet wirelessly just for the camera control and not the mount control, since that be redundant. Does anyone have something similar and what are your thoughts on it?

How to photograph the new moon safely?

The Moon is at its new moon phase obviously near the Sun. I wish to exclude the rare case of an eclipse for this questions. Also, I am aware that photographing an object relativly close to the Sun (at the sky) involves dangers for the human eye or the sensors. Has anybody examples of a new moon 🌚 image and can advice how to proceed?
