About this image

This is an image of Markarian's Chain captured using the mosaic feature of the SeeStar S50 in AltAz mode. The image is as processed internally by the SeeStar, with no additional processing other than rotating the image. At just over 1 hour integration time and no additional post processing, this really is 'point and shoot' astrophotography.
