What am I doing wrong with the polar alignment?

Today I tried to use my Seestar in EQ mode. For your information, there was no wind today, or if there was, it was so weak that it was not felt, I think, a maximum of 2 m/s. As you can see, the stars are very blurred, so I have not received a single picture with an exposure of more than 1 minute. I used 20s exposure. I tried to align the telescope four times in total, restarted the device, but nothing helped. Absolutely nothing has changed. Please, give me advice, I hope I haven't bothered you with my regular questions yet...

Combine S30pro fits with s50 fits?

Someone on Facebook replied to a post of mine comparing S30pro images to s50 of M51. He suggested I make a folder named mosaic_m51 on the S30pro and put the "lights" from the S30pro and the s50 in it. Then run deep sky stacker through the app. So I did this. I had my doubts. First of all about 16 files had the same name so I let windows rename the s50 dupes( just dupe names). I ran the stacker and, of course, 1/2 the files were rejected. And the stack looked awful. This doesn't work. Did he mean DSS in windows? Or DSS not by ZWO? Or was this just a facebook punk that was full of BS?

Comet c/2026 a1 maps prediction/summary i made from my research

C/2026 a1 (maps) is almost here! I made a little paragraph on what I researched note I'm not proffesional this is just from my research: “c/2026 a1 (maps) has a good probability of becoming significant and brighter then Venus a few after perhillion. However many sungrazers dont always survive perhillion, here’s what we know; this comet is around 0.4km (400 meters) of a nucleus. Its distance to the sun during perhillion is around 0.005732 AU away (AU = Astronomical Units, where 1 AU = the sun distance to the earth), where a comet called “c/2011 w3 (lovejoy)” came around a similar distance of 0.0055~AU, with a similar nucleus size(100-500m) and survived but partially fragmented later on. So the comet has a chance of either completely disintegrating, partially fragmenting, or staying intact(highest chance is fragmenting). Itll be low on the horizon as well close to the sun, favored south hemisphere. Next the tail. If it stays intact and survives, based on geometric data, orbital plane alignment to earth and overall angular calculation, the comet will most likely have a pencil, straight narrow tail like comet lovejoy 2011 did. However, if it does fragment, this would cause multiple pieces of dust production which can create multiple pencils at different angles, which is similar to comet c/2006 p1 (mcnaught), a comet who had a fan striated dust tail. additional info, this comet reaches perhillion April 4,2026, and was discovered on January 13th, 2026, from “AMACS1 Observatory, Atacama Desert, Chile”, discovers being Alain Maury, Daniel Parrott, Florian Signoret (MAPS team). It is a kreutz sungrazer family group, comets that go very close to the sun, with the origin being a large comet who broke into many small pieces creating all these comets. this comets orbital period is estimated to be about 1,700~ years, with inclination being ~144.5 degrees. However, comet magnitude is uncertain and comet tail morphology is uncertain as factors such as dust production, solar wind interaction, particles sizes, rotation, etc. arent really easily predictable. Comet behavior is also unpredictable and wild. I wrote this conclusion 10:52 pm, March 30, 2026.”

What is this strange spots on my screen?

Tonight, I set Seestar to shoot Deep Sky objects again. But after AI denoise of the first shot... ...these strange specks appeared. I tried to wipe the lens, it didn't help. Give me some advice, please

how do i stack raw video with S50?

I've googled how to stack the raw video on the Seestar S50, but when I pull up my video of the moon, I don't see the option to stack. Am I missing something? Video is under 5 minutes

Can you use external narrowband/ duoband filters on seestar?

If so, what is your experience with them and do they function well. Thanks!
