About this image

One of the reasons I bought a Seestar telescope was that it is portable. Setting it up on the South Coast enabled me to see DSOs low to the horizon in the South of the sky that I cannot see from my back garden. This is the first such picture consisting of about 1 hour of 20 second subs gtaken in EQ mode. The resulting subs have been processed in PI with various exterminators.
