    Looks great! Do you do image stacking? You might look into that. I did microscope photography and used it, but it’s also used for astrophotography.

      Thanks! That image isn’t stacked, but I am just getting into learning about all of that. I think I’m having an issue with clarity (I’m just using my pixel 8 pro and a cheapo phone adapter hooked up to my telescope) so the stacking software I’ve tried isn’t picking up on most frames.

      If I have to begrudgingly thank Trump for anything, it’s pushing me to buy a seestar s50 now before prices go up with the tarrifs so I’ll be getting much better images soon! Not for planets though lol It’s mostly for deep space objects.

        You can probably get a pretty decent Canon or Nikon SLR for cheap on eBay, especially now that everyone is going mirrorless.

          Thanks for the advice, I’ll have to look into that! I know I’ll be somewhat limited with the seestar so it would be nice to have a good camera too.
