About this image

I let the SeeStar S50 run for a couple of hours on this very low Messier target whilst I tried to capture Jupiter from my observatory. I’ve had mixed success capturing this target with my traditional rig because it’s low elevation brings the observatory walls into play. I post processed the data in PixInsight and think that the S50 did a pretty good job.
