How did you process this image, btw? I'm sitting on 10 hours of Seestar images for the Sculptor galaxy, and I'm looking for ideas. Cheers.

I understand almost none of this but even I can recognise this is a monumental piece of work. Congratulations.

Fantastic. Also, congratulations on 50 years in astrophotography. It shows.

You have a lot of detail here for 23 minutes! Shame about the satellite. Vive le Seestar!

Hey Darren. Did you take a photo of M13 with your RedCat? If so, can you upload it here? As a Seestar owner, I would like to see the difference.

Thanks. I'm using a Seestar S50 myself. However, I admire the amount of time you are spending on getting your images. It's been worth it!

I've done another, much better version. Slightly different angle for some reason.

It's certainly vivid. Persist! It's such a good-looking nebula.
