 Some folks turn their nose up at the Seestar. "It only has a 50mm aperture," they say. "You can't take long expsures with an alt-az mount" they say. "The camera can't compare with new astro cameras," they say. Bull.
-This page is dedicated to extraordinary Seestar astrophotography, the best of the best (and a few historically significant images). Here you'll see what the community generally considers excellent results produced by the Seestar. Unless specifically prohibited, you can post someone else's image, but it is polite to ask permission first.

-Details such as who created the image (required), how many subframes were combined (if they were), clock time vs integration time (if available), stacking and post-processing software used (if any), etc. are not required but will be helpful to others.
-The easiest way to add an image is to copy and paste the syntax that is already here and substitute the details for the new image.
