How I found a black hole with small S50!
One of the most massive black holes ever discovered? Yes, that's TON618—a mind-blowing cosmic giant! This behemoth is approximately 60 billion times the mass of our Sun. Yep, that's not a typo—60 billion solar masses! Even though this object is an incredible 10.4 billion light-years away (that's just 3.4 billion years after the Big Bang!), I managed to capture it using my humble Seestar S50 smart telescope. 🔭 That makes TON618 one of the most distant objects I've ever been able to photograph with this small aperture. Let's dive into how I did it! ⭐ > First things first: to locate this object, I needed to find something nearby that was registered in my telescope's database. So, I fired up the Stellarium software on my PC and checked TON618’s coordinates on Wikipedia: Right ascension: 12h 28m 24.9s Declination: +31° 28′ 38″ With the coordinates in hand, I was ready to hunt down this cosmic giant. I set-up actuall view of Seestar's camera as parameters to the Stellarium, to approximately know how much of the space around I'm able to capture. And the red frame in picture above shows how it looked like. After that I found most bright object near by, that has a name which is also registred in the database of Seestar: NGC4414 When I had NGC4414 next step was to insert the name into a search column in Seestar's mobile app. So I compared screenshot from Stellarium with star-map in the app, set up frame to the right possition and after some fine-tuning and careful alignment, I managed to lock onto TON618. After few minutes I started to see a picture 👀 And this is how it looks like after I zoomed-in a little bit. Not very impressive, huh? But When you think about the distance and the specs of my modest telescope (which cost just around 600 bucks), it's mind-blowing that I was able to peer so far back into cosmic history. Those photons of light took 10.4 billion years to reach our Blue Planet—long before Earth even existed! Seeing those ancient photons made me fall in love with astrophotography and astronomy all over again. There's something incredibly humbling about capturing a piece of the Universe's history, light that predates our planet itself. Something that let us see unseen in history of space-time long before even the Solar system existed... As you can see from the article, Seestar is not just a tool to photograph near by nebulae, but also a cheap scientific instrument to study the Cosmos and also a way-back machine in fabrics of space-time 🌌 Full article here: https://ransei.neocities.org/pages/posts-stars #To the depths of the universe# #Black hole# #Deepsky# #Deepskyobject# #Seestar S50#

How long do you illuminate for Deep sky?
Hi guys, I'm new to this area and would like to know how long the average lighting time is that you record.

When exactly to use (or not) the filter from the Seestar app?
Hi, I am still at the beginning of my learning curve with my S30. Even if I looked at the resources online, it is not clear yet to me when to enable this filter. when I explore objects to look at in the app it is indicated "rec filter" with a red icon.But when I explore via sky atlas and choose an object by myself I am not sure if I should use it. also it looks like this filter brings a lot of green Color in the dark parts. Any tips would be very welcome please?

Can i get more detail of NGC 6946 ?
Hello,i am amateur to this,took this last night little more than an hour of exposure (10seconds). Would like to ask for some tips how to get more detail.If i leave it more time will it help or this is just the capability of the Seestar s50?

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
