Heading for some hiking in Patagonia and the Atacama in a couple of weeks. The opportunity to head to darker skies is always my go-to option for a holiday.
One issue I have is lugging lots of big and pricey camera gear for #astrophotography (and having to worry about insurance, damage, etc.)
This week I picked up a Seestar S50, which is compact enough for travel, and does sky tracking for long exposure imaging. So, will be taking this with me!
Just did a few solar shots right now. Look at those sunspots!
Its very good quality, easy to set up and minimal learning curve. Good price as well. Real test will be to see how it performs at night - my benchmark is it has to pick up galaxies from my Bortle 9 city skies. Will update when we have a clear night!
