野外深空拍摄常用装备列表
天文望远镜整套，包括：主镜、导星镜、主相机、导星相机、天文盒子、各种接线、指星笔、电池适配器、除雾带。以完整支持深空拍摄为目标。可能还需带配置的滤镜；PAD，支架，USB充电器、头灯，手机充电器；安装好控制软件的APP，如：ASIair；赤道仪、三角架；大容量12V户外电源、接线板。接线板线要尽可能长些；支持5G联网的路由器。如驻车点距离装备比较远时可能需要；指南针、水平仪。用于调整水平、粗调极轴；防蚊用品、酒精炉或己烷炉。希望喝热茶或咖啡的需要；靠椅、小餐桌、热水壶、水杯。确保足够的饮用水；快餐面、自热食饭、零食；切记带上自己！！！

What’s everyone’s favorite color of DSO?
I've noticed that a lot more people like the red color of nebula, where I like the blues and darker ones? Thoughts?

I recently downloaded PixInsight and started a trial, but I'm struggling to get the hang of it despite following numerous YouTube tutorials. A recent video opinion threw me off, though - https://youtu.be/_cTznXBPbbc?si=IwHaXCteEj6TNxV7 He suggests that PixInsight might not be the best fit for Seestar data. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Even if you did already the impossible, maybe it can improve it !
@Maic maybe if you focus on the Christmas Tree nebula region, it'll be more visible

Color processimg and filter advice for the crab nebula (M1)?
I’ve noticed that the M1 appears in many different colors depending on the image — sometimes red, blue, orange, or purple. Given the S50’s UV/IR cut filter, is there anything I should keep in mind when imaging M1 to get the best possible data? When it comes to color in post-processing, should I aim to represent certain colors/wavelengths based on science, or do you usually go with your own artistic choice? Thanks in advance for any tips!

Deep space targets IC 417 image capture ?
Hi all I've tried several times now to capture IC 417 from London UK . I've got over 2.5k images over several hours but don't seem to be having much success? I know the sky's over London suffer from bad light pollution or am I doing something wrong?

Good settings for imaging the heart nebula?
I was wondering if anyone knows how long I should try to image the heart nebula (IC 1805) for the best results. Also if it is best to stick to 10 second exposure or go up to 30 seconds. (I use the Seestar S30)

Christmas Tree Nebula Experiences?
I'd like to try the NGC 2264 tonight. How long did it take you to get a visible result? Did you adapt the framing or use Mosaic? We're at bortle 4. Thanks!
