It was a little hazy with below average transparency Christmas Eve night 2025, so before it got too bad, I decided to try and take a mosaic of the Double Cluster, instead of a nebula or galaxy as a target. Taken with my Seestar S50 for 48 minutes using 30 sec sub-images.
Double Cluster, Dec 24, 2025. Seestar S50 mosaic mode, 48 minutes using 30 sec sub-images.
he Crab Nebula supernova remnant in Taurus. The Chinese, Mayans and others saw It when it blew up in the year 1054. It contains a pulsar (neutron star) at its center.
This was taken with a Seestar S50 Smart Telescope using 30 sec sub-images. It has about an hour of total integration time that finished up just after midnight last night (12:24 A.M., Dec 24, 2025.)

Crab Nebula, Seestar S50, 60 minutes using 30 sec subs.
I took some subs in the second week of Dec 2025 and it was sparse data. So, I copied back to the Seestar all data I had on it since Dec of 2024 and restacked and combined it all together. I came out with 12270 seconds or 3.4 hrs worth:
M51 Whirlpool Galaxy. 558 x 10 sec, Seestar S50, image data to Dec 2025.
A rainy day project to combine all the data taken with the Seestar S50 that was not parts of any mosaic mode sessions. It seems you can only restack non-mosaic mode sub-images, so I did that and came up with this image below.
The Orion Nebula – Combined Data Seestar S50.
