#astronomy I took two videos of Jupiter with the Seestar S50, one showing the moons and the other showing the cloud belts. I combined them.

@Ally_SMMiller@mastodon.online When immigration is discussed, there seem to be two camps: "Send them all home" and "let them all in". Both are wrong! Immigration policy needs to meet the needs of those that are already here, irrespective of race, etc. Priority should be given to those wishing to fill roles in sectors where there is a shortage and keeping families together. Some provision should be made for those whose lives are in danger in their home country but asylum claims need to be processed more quickly. The refugee issue needs international solutions. As an example, over a million refugees came into Bangladesh, which is not a rich country and should not be solely responsible for such a large influx of people.

#astronomy I aimed the Seestar S50 at the galaxy NGC2903. Unfortunately, the battery died before I could save an image on my smartphone. However, I found an image on the Seestar. I did not know how long the integration was. I tidied in GraXpert and GIMP.

#astronomy The Seestar S50 not only failed to find the sun but was a long way from it. Instead, I took out my 127mm Maksutov and DSLR camera and took some full disc shots. There was a single, large sunspot to the right of centre that I spotted through my camera viewfinder.

#astronomy Conditions were not perfect but I decided to have a go at photographing the entire triplet of galaxies (M65, M66 and NGC3278) in Leo, using the Seestar S50 in Framing mode. I stacked 5 integration runs, the longest 60 minutes, in Deep Sky Stacker. I finished in GIMP.

#astronomy I shot the double star Sigma Cancri with the Seestar S50. I stacked 5 integration runs in Deep Sky Stacker, the longest 10 minutes. I tidied in GIMP. The two brightest stars form the double but each have stars close to them. I'm not sure whether they are true companions or a line-of-sight effect. I was also drawn to the snake-like asterism in the centre of the image.

#astronomy Although there was moving cloud, I had a go at the galaxy M101 with the Seestar S50. I took lots of images but only used the last 5 in my stack, as the sky had cleared for a while. The total integration time was 228 minutes and I tidied up in GraXpoert and GIMP.

#astronomy In a cloudy sky, almost devoid of stars, a waning gibbous moon was low in the south east. As there was a lot of moving cloud, I ran the video from the Seestar S50 for one minute, rather than the normal 30 seconds.

#astronomy I photographed the double star 23 Orionis with the Seestar S50. I stacked 2 images for a total integration time of 7 minutes and tidied in GraXpert and GIMP.

#astronomy I photographed the double star Phi Orionis with the Seestar S50. I stacked 3 images for a total integration time of 11 minutes and tidied in GraXpert and GIMP. The third bright star on the top right is not related.

#astronomy As it is a close double star, I used Scenery mode and 4x zoom with the Seestar S50, trying both still images and video. The still images showed the double quite well but no background stars.

#astronomy I photographed the double star Mintaka, in Orion's belt with the Seestar S50. With the primary star being bright and the secondary being close, I processed a single image of 1 minute integration.

#astronomy I photographed the asteroid Hygeia with the Seestar S50. I stacked 2 images for a total integration time of 21 minutes and tidied in GraXpert and GIMP. It is one of the brighter objects slightly to the right and above centre.

#astronomy Fortunately, it remained clear-ish and I re-did my Jupiter shoot. As earlier in the evening, I could not use 4x zoom with the Seestar S50 as the moons were spread out. I noticed that the positions of the moons had changed since the last session, I also did another video of the cloud belts, in case the twilight shot did not work. I combined the two images.

#astronomy After persistent rain, sometimes heavy, the sky cleared somewhat at dusk. I would not normally shoot Jupiter at dusk but, with the risk of further cloud later, I proceeded. I shot two videos, as usual, one showing the moons (this time at 2x zoom, as the moons were too far apart to use my usual 4x) and the other showing the cloud belts, or at least attempting to.. I combined the two images.

#astronomy I photographed the double stars 2Nu and 15 Geminorum in the same image with the Seestar S50. I took a single integration run for 10 minutes and used GraXpert. Nu is near the bottom of the image and 15 is a closer double near the top right.

#astronomy Having seen some of the photos on social media, I headed out to our neighbourhood and tried to snap the last of a display. I thought I had missed it but took a few shots anyway. It turned out I had caught green and purple colours with my phone camera.
