About this image

My first attempt at photometry using the Seestar S50, following a recent software update that now makes this possible.

It's amazing how clever this technology is becoming and how much more accessible astronomy is these days.

I also managed to create a useful little app, with the help of AI, to record my observations and generate light curves simply by uploading the CSV files produced by the Seestar.

It's quite remarkable what we can now achieve with relatively inexpensive and accessible equipment. Things have certainly moved on!
