Howcome 3I Atlas has been removed from SkyAtlas?

Up until a few days ago I was able to select and view / capture 3I Atlas but it seems to have been removed from the database?

a question that puzzled me. Top 100 foto zwo

Just yesterday, I saw a very strange and unfair game. ZWO persistently deletes my questions, leaving them unanswered. The gist is this: some users, in order to get into the top 100, write comments under their own photos, which naturally boosts those photos in the rankings, leaving truly worthy photos behind. I think this is unfair. What do you think about this? (The screenshot shows the author's comments to themselves.)

Why isn't there an Astronomical Camera that can switch between an OSC and a Monochrome mode?

I've been shootig with a ZWO2600 Pro for the last year. Although I love the results and resolution of the camera, I'd really like to take a crack at narrow band Astropthotography without investing in another expensive AP camera, althogh I understand a monochorme mode would still require the filter sets and a filter wheel. Is it possible to design a duel functioning camera? I know my Nikon DSLR can do this, or is there an engineering issue that I'm missing? If the ZWO design team is reading these posts, I think ya'll might have a huge market that you are missing.

S50 subframe calibration with darks and flats

There is still one thing that is unclear to me: Does SEESTAR S50 automatically calibrate each subframe with dark and flat frames?If not, what do I need to do to ensure that both calibrations are performed? Thank you for your reply. Gianpaolo.

Why is my Seestar s50 connection being lost and image stack progress deleted?

Hello all, I am new to the whole Astro photography scene and I've been learning my new s50 which I got for Christmas. I have taken some Luna pictures which turned out great, and decided to attempt my first nebula imaging which is where my errors begin. The telescope tracks and identifies the nebula (IC 434) well but after about 20 mins my connection drops and when I attempt to reconnect it says unable to connect, until I am right next to the telescope. Once connected it says something along the lines of "image stacking failed, deleting" and deletes all progress. Here is an image I saved manually before connection loss (ran for about 10 mins): I am new to this so I may be an issue caused by me, any idea on how to fix this? (also tips/ tricks/ suggestions are appreciated!)
