View submission: I’m totally cheating and I know it.
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!

I bought the s50 and the sense of “cheating” made me return it. You tell the machine what object you want to image, it images it. If you’re into personally processing there are ways you can get the raw images off the device but if you’re not, the image you take is the *exact* same as every person who took it with an s50.
Looking in the public gallery of 100s of the *exact* same shot made the device feel like a slow form of Google.
