Thrilled to report I am clear of the issues with my ToupTek ATR585M rig! This is half a night (about 1 hour per filter) on M81 and M82. This pair is already looking awesome and will look even better with a bunch more exposure time and some Ha in the mix. Let the fun begin!

M37 2min exposure. #SeestarS50 #Messier #Madness #Astrophotography
Longer exposure of M35. But NGC2158 is gorgeous! All the stars are a beautiful golden colour. #SeestarS50 #Messier #Madness #Astrophotography
10 second exposure of M35 as well as neck 2168. #Messier #Madness #SeestarS50 #Astrophotography
M1 The Crab Nebula - the fuzzy object that caused Charles Messier to begin cataloguing fuzzy thing that weren’t comets. It’s also the only supernova in the Messier catalogue.
The whispy tendrils you can see are the remains of the atmosphere of the star that blew up. It’s expanding at 0.5% the speed of light. #Messier #Madness #SeestarS50 #Astrophotography
10 seconds of M1 #Messier #Madness #SeestarS50 #Astrophotography Going to collect a decent amount of photons here.
And 10 seconds of M78. M78 is hard. Seen it visually but it takes a good dark night for that. Will capture a few more photons whilst I get a brew. But I got a decent view of it a short while back, so will move on to the next target after another cuppa. #Messier #Madness #SeestarS50 #Astrophotography
Five mins of M42 and M43 #Messier #Madness #SeestarS50 #Astrophotography
Next up a twofer in the #Messier #Madness M42 and M43 The Great Orion Nebula. 10 second shot. Always a wow. Unless you are in the southern hemisphere in which case you are spoiled by the tarantella nebula. And many other sights! #SeestarS50 #Astrophotography
And here is M45. Not a great image. Seestar really struggled to do the mosaic. Wonder if it needs levelling again? Anyhoo. #Messier #Madness #Astrophotography
And here’s a longer capture of M34. Some lovely star colours. #SeestarS50 #Messier #Madness #Astrophotography
Tada! M34 10 secs near live view #Messier #Madness #SeestarS50 #Astrophotography
Ten mins of M76. A lovely jewel. #SeestarS50 #Messier #Madness #Astrophotography
Because here we have M76 The Little Dumbell Nebula. Again just 10 seconds of light here. Collecting more of this. #SeestarS50 #Messier #Madness #Astrophotography
Oh WOW! Caldwell 11 The Bubble Nebula. What a stunning object it is. Again, about 5 mins of photons here. Spectacular! #Astrophotography #Messier #Madness #SeestarS50 oh yeah. M52 up at the top.
