I don’t have the money nor the skill for a proper astrophotography set up. So I purchased a used S30 Pro at half price. This is a 70mim capture at 30 second subs, stacked using the Seestar app. The only post-processing I have done is ask Google Gemini to remove “half the stars” and I made the background a little darker. This was done with the standard tiny little tripod on a stool in bortle 5 skies. I am getting a tripod and a EQ mount soon too, but this was the 2nd ever attempt with the scope. It has a lot of potential!

    Man, I wish I had Bortle 5 skies.

    I’m out here in Bortle 8/9

    Is suggest not using Google AI for processing. Use the app, or use specialized software on the computer. AstroWizard and StackingWizard are incredibly user friendly and great for people new to the hobby.
