I was shown a new astronomy app (It’s Free) as seen on Shayne Mostyn’s YouTube channel. It automatically aligns captured images live during the exposures. I tried it on my 10” dob telescope and was indeed impressed. Through the 10” telescope unguided. Sixty-five 0.655/second exposures saved as a tiff. I’m impressed

Night mode is still really good, this app will align images and the max is 500 images up to 30” exposure time.

I received a new Celestron 5-inch Cassegrain telescope today and placed it on my Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer tracker. I’ll mainly use it to image objects with my iPhone 15 pro max as I did this evening for a first test run. So far I’m pleased with the results and performance of the little scope. The skies were pretty lousy this evening but I managed to edit these pretty well. M42 was imaged through a 15mm Televue eyepiece and a 25mm plossl. Edited in Lightroom, ProRAW, nightmode for 30”. Soon I’ll try again from a darker location and clearer skies…
