Astronomy With the Seestar Nov 1, 2024

Astronomy, Astrophotography, Seestar

I decided to go after imaging more objects instead of exposure time. The software with the Seestar is great but i recommend a good star atlas to be used when you observe. I am using “Objects in the Heavens” by Peter Birren (KB9SYC). Order from here. When I am at home I have a limited range to look at due to trees. With the book I can see what objects are visible.

After the activation I participated in the FCVET amateur radio exams in Wendell, NC we had our biggest number of applicants (14) to date for that location. Thanks to all those who volunteers to be an examiner.
