Seestar S50 mosaic of M81 and M82
This is a mosaic of M81 and M82I captured last night with the S50. I set the scope in EQ mode and captured just over 5 hours of data in 20s individual integrations. I did not use the DB filter. I used the FIT format mosiac put together by the Seestar, and tweaked it in Siril and Affinity Photo. I'm very pleased with the way mosaic mode is working now. It seems to be faster and it does a better job of assembling the mosaics.
