Ever heard of Astro-Sonification ?

Hello everyone , I bought a Seestar S30 Pro to help me build some characters for an upcoming music album. The creative workflow is quite simple . A- I take a photo of M44. Submit the photo to an AI for enhancing then I ask the AI to describe the image. From that description I co-author with the AI a song lyric. I then copy the lyrics in Suno, a music specific music tool... after many tries I get something I like. I call it Astro-Sonification. It implies that I am the conductor of a celestial orchestra. I am not just making a song about space; I am giving the space a way to speak (or sing). Here is an example of what I do. Please give me feedback and tell me wether or not this is the right place to talk about this. https://suno.com/s/Zeqfb7jxsgo1yW2x My Creative Spirit have the whole sky to explore ! Cheers, Stellia

Meridian Flip inconsistency: ASIAIR starts AutoCenter but mount not updated?

Hi,I would like to report a Meridian Flip issue that appears to be related to a mismatch between ASIAIR internal state and the actual mount state (pier side).SetupMount: Sky-Watcher (EQMOD)Control: ASIAIRGuiding: enabled (PHD2)Plate solving: enabled (AutoCenter ON)Meridian Flip settings:Stop tracking: 5 minutes before meridianFlip after meridian: 5 minutes after meridianObserved behaviorDuring an imaging session:ASIAIR correctly:stopped guidingstopped trackingentered Meridian Flip waiting phaseAfter the configured delay, ASIAIR:started Meridian Flipinitiated AutoCenter (plate solving + corrective slews)However:the mount did not appear to be in the correct post-flip geometryplate solving succeeded, but reported an initial offset of ~2.7°subsequent AutoCenter attempts increased the error instead of reducing it (up to 3.1°)This suggests that:the correction vectors were computed assuming a different pier side than the actual oneCritical failureBecause the correction direction was wrong:each AutoCenter correction moved the mount farther from the targetthe system continued trying to converge but diverged insteadWhen I attempted a manual recovery (GoTo to force flip):the mount slewed further in the wrong directioneventually reached the tripod legs (mechanical limit)Even a “Go Home” did not restore correct behavior immediately.Full recovery required:manual reposition to homerestart of the systemfresh initializationSupporting observations from logsBefore flip:PHD2 reports one pier side (e.g. West)During flip:ASIAIR behaves as if flip has occurred (AutoCenter active)After full manual reset:PHD2 reports opposite pier side (e.g. East)This strongly suggests that:the physical pier side change did not occur when ASIAIR assumed it didbut ASIAIR proceeded with post-flip logic anywayExpected behaviorAfter Meridian Flip trigger:Mount performs GOTO and confirms pier side changeOnly after that:AutoCenter should startcorrection vectors should converge (error decreasing)Actual behaviorAutoCenter starts even if mount state is inconsistentcorrection divergesno safeguard stops the processleads to potentially unsafe slewsPotential improvement suggestionsPier side validation before AutoCenterverify mount pier side changed before applying correctionsConvergence checkif error increases after N corrections → abort AutoCenterSafety limitdetect large divergence (>2–3° increasing) and stop slewingOptional debug infoexpose pier side and mount state during flip in logs/UINotesPlate solving itself worked correctlyIssue seems related to state synchronization, not solving accuracyBehavior is reproducible in principle if mount state becomes inconsistent near meridianIf needed, I can provide:full Autorun logsPHD2 logstimestamps of the flip sequenceThanks for your work on ASIAIR—this is a critical workflow area and I hope this report helps improve robustness and safety.

Four nights of clear skies were a brilliant intro to the 2026 spring!

Managed to make a huge amount of progress across the Messier and Caldwell catalogues. We got very lucky down in southwestern UK.

Are there any useful attachments for the S50? And what is an upgrade from the S50?

关于知识介绍的一点想法

这只是一个初级想法。论坛能否经常邀请一些大佬和有经验者以视频直播的方式或更加互动的方式介绍他们在拍摄，设备使用和最终图像处理等方面的知识和经验？让大家能够共同成长。谢谢！

seestar照片的评级方式

我注意到在论坛中所有的照片都是放在一起进行评审的和精选的。我觉得这对seestar设备来讲是非常不公平的，因为毕竟seestar只是入门级的设备。所以在论坛中我鲜有见到seestar拍摄的照片入选。这让我们这些seestar的拍摄者非常有挫折感。我想在这里建议一下为seestar或同一等级的设备单独设计评级，精选和获奖方式，这样会更加得公平。大家觉得呢？另外，我们花了很长的时间在论坛上发了很多的照片，除了粉丝的点赞我也没见到有别的。请问论坛有什么样的福利给我们？我希望论坛能有一定的可见的激励和奖励机制以更好地调动大家的积极性。希望大家能够积极参与讨论，献谋献策，让论坛更火。谢谢！

seestar S50如何打开保存单帧How to save single frames on Seestar S50？

我想使用Seestar S50的相机内堆叠功能，但这需要启用单帧保存功能，我不知道具体的步骤。感谢你的回答 I want to use the in-camera stacking of the Seestar S50, but this requires enabling single-frame saving, and I don't know the exact steps to do it. Thank you for your answer.
