A majority of discarded images with exposure longer than 10 seconds with my S50 in Eq mode: what am I doing wrong?

I took many wonderful pictures with the standard 10 secs exposures both in AltAz and Eq mode (in the latter case using a Skywatcher tripod and Eq head). I made the polar alignment withinh the 0.3, 0.3 limits (green check), and I tried the 30 secs exposure on a galaxy (M51). The first 10 minutes I got only the first 2 frames, and the next 18 were all discarded. I made a similar try yesterday: same result. Anyone has suggestions? Should I take care of a perfect polar alignment 0.0 , 0.0? Should I calibrate something more? Could it be the building vibration (or light wind) since I live at 7th floor (rooftop)? The tripod quality and stability is excellent. The rooftop is solid (see picture). Thank you so much for your help.

The solar eclipse from Artemis II

The cosmonauts observed the dark side of the moon and cameras seemed to record at least 3 flashes of meteor impacts ! Dangerous place with many impacts probabilities.The eclipse looked like the beginning of our usual eclipse but after the moon is much larger in front of the sun.

s30 pro taking photos of deep sky images?

How are people getting great pictures of nebulas and planets? I have the new s30 Pro and I'm finding it almost impossible to get images of anything other than the Sun or the Moon. Shooting from Kraków Poland

Exposure time equatorial mode S30 Pro?

Hi, I love my S30 Pro so far. Now I would love to experiment with the equatorial mode. Does anyone have a recommendation for a sweet spot in exposure time? I have read online that the S50 has a sweet spot around 20s and the S30 around 30s. Clear skies

This is going to be my biggest plan so far

Just set up a plan for tonight as it's meant to be a clear UK night. I have M67, Leo triplet galaxies, and M64 and on 20s exposure for the first time instead of my default 10s exposure time. Also have the anti-dew shield and star mask attachments on so I'm looking forward to seeing the results tomorrow. Happy stargazing all 🌌 🔭 🌍 #Seestar S50# #To the depths of the universe# #Messier Grand Slam# #Leo triplet#

Image Processing Techniques

How should I handle field rotation in multiple DSLR lunar photographs?

I tried using the PIPP > AS!4 > Registax workflow but couldn't find a place to adjust the rotation. I ended up using DSS with a lowered star threshold for stacking, but its ability to correct for atmospheric disturbances seems weak.

大家好,我是新加入的高中生,请大家多多指教~~~~~~~~~

请问多张单反月面摄影的field rotation该如何处理? 我使用PIPP>AS!4>Registax这套流程没找到有哪个地方可以调整旋转的,最后是学邪修用DSS调低星点阈值叠的,但它本身对大气扰动的校正能力好像比较弱。
