2 hours with the old Seestar S50. Tweaking out the fine detail with siril, astrowizard, gimp, Snapseed and denoising software. It surprise me how much data the Seestar S50 can grab. It's been great to practice astrophotography skills.

Looking forward to getting my hands on the Dwarf Draco to take this hobby further.
