I got one as well. I just want to take pictures, the rest is just the tools to do it with.

Not cheating.

How do you like it? I've been wanting one or a seestar s50. I simply don't have the time to do proper astro now, but maybe later. I like the idea of it being easy enough to do with my kids and let them have their "own" pictures. I love it when my son points out Orion's belt and gets all excited. I feel like it's only cheating if you misrepresent it!

My husband got me one for Christmas and it just arrived in the last couple of weeks. I have no previous experience with astrophotography so the ease of use has certainly been appreciated on my end. I have been loving it!

why stacking pictures when you can get a correct exposure with iso100 and an untracked 1/100 shutter speed?
