M45 with Seestar

About this image

Seestar is great for my Mancunian temperamental weather. Can take it in and out fast and start capturing in between the clouds, and it performs great in my light-polluted area.

It was also impressive to control the Seestar and share the incoming images indoors with friends and family, great for Astronomy outreach. I'm very impressed so far, and eagerly awaiting the Draco!
