4. Thanks. Siril does even have a custom script to process SeeStar pix

However, it will only process FITS. Solar mode only saves JPEG.

One day soon expect to have some FITS to try in Siril! Tho not anxious for the coming months of clear skies and hundred degree days. Gently mizzling here in San Antone this morn.

Know little of astrophotography (other than unguided wideangle and short exposure telephoto shots).

Have long had a 4inch Schmidt-Cass to look at the sky, for even longer have been a photographer—but the leap to combining telescope and camera has always seemed too far to me.

The SeeStar is an Alt-Az which takes lowrez 2MP images—but, at the moment, these are enough to WOW me!

Have tried it as a telephoto (35FF equiv ~1750/5) in 'Scenery' mode. The result is dreadful! Likely this is because am much more familiar with those types of images. Expect astrophotographers have the same reaction to the quality of SeeStar astro images!
