Successful planet shooting w/S30?
Anyone had any success capturing planets with the S30? I am very much aware that its not what this smartphone is for just wondered if anyone had managed it and what settings did you try?

为什么我拍的海王星很模糊？
我在拍摄海王星的过程中发现海王星很不清楚，然后重新调了焦发现还是不清楚，校准没有问题，没有过曝，大气比较稳定，为什么不清楚。 设备：振旺AM5、星特朗C8、振旺ASI678MC 帧数：10000帧

Nice images of Jupiter with S50
My two cents on how to get nice images of Jupiter with Seestar S50: 1) select Solar System and GoTo Jupiter; 2) select Time Lapse mode, 1 second image delay and 4x zoom; 3) activate Raw Image and autofocus on Jupiter; 4) go to image settings Regulation button and select Manual configuration; 5) lower the Luminosity and Contrast settings to a minimum where you barely see the live image, without seeing details of Jupiter. Now start collecting at least 200 images (3-4 minutes). Stop the timelapse and go to My Images 》My Seestar. Search for planetary video folder, find the timelapse, and Stack it. It coukd take 4-5 minutes... but when it is 100% complete look at the result. Tadaaaaa. If the image is still overexposed repeat by reducing luminosity and contrast. It is hard to get the Galileian moons with this approach, but the main bands and red spot of Jupiter will be possibly visible. Not easy for an S50, but we do not like easy results, right? All the best luck and dark skies to everyone. Post your results and opinions or different approaches you followed. A couple of my jupiter images can be found in my collection: AlienX.

HELLO BEGINNER HERE CAN I GET SOME ADVICE?
Hey! I'm using asi715mc with IR cut filter the scope is f5 x 750mm celestron, on the AVX mount, I'm starting to get some images of Jupiter and the moon, i have just learned i should be stacking with 8bit gain up around 300 and fast exposure between 5 - 10 MS . Could i get some advice on planetary video stacking and is there any accessories i should be using?

How Is Imaging the New Moon Even Possible Near the Sun?
I’m genuinely confused how imaging the new Moon is even possible when it’s sitting so close to the Sun. Without a solar filter it’s obviously unsafe, but when a solar filter is on, the Moon all but disappears and there’s nothing visible to frame or focus on. Since the Moon isn’t emitting light and the filter blocks nearly everything except the Sun, how would one realistically locate and image the new Moon at all without risking equipment or eyesight? I'm thinking about this for the lunar badge and all I can think of that would be safe and effective would be to take a picture of the Sliver Moon. Any suggestions or recommendations are welcome.

Imaging the “new” moon on a Seestar S50
I'm starting the moon phase challenge and I'll have no problem getting waxing/waning crescents and gibbous shots. The full moon won't be too much of a problem either. But the "new" moon will be tricky I think. First, the timing will be very close to sunrise or sunset so ambient light will drive the Seestar batty. Secondly, how will I focus effectively? Do I get out of Lunar mode? Any tips out there will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. DocPStars

ASI air mini 行星後期問題...？
自從ASI air mini上一次大約半年前更新後我比較少拍行星,今天拍攝後做後期疊加，結果出來的圖像讓我傻眼....（下方是做完疊加後原始檔案都沒動過） 這是發生什麼狀況了？ 我試了幾次關機重製都一樣..... 但是深空部分又都是正常的 昨晚的月亮也是正常的 只有行星部分....很不正常 期待大神解答

I want a good budget scope for planetary imaging. Any recommendations?
I'm looking into it but a perferably motorized scope that's in a range from like 1000-1500$ but you can go over a bit. Lmk you best recommendations!😁

Why does the sun I shot through the eyepiece have shadows?
I don't know what the reason is.It should be dust on the lens.How much dust is there in the picture?🤔
