Astrophotographer logs overnight captures of nebulae and galaxies

Original: Data haul from last night. vdB 126 (S30 Pro): ~93 min (~1.5 hrs) M15 (S50 Pro): ~88 min (~1.5 hrs) M31 Andromeda (S30 Pr

An amateur astronomer spent the night imaging deep-sky targets with Seestar smart telescopes, logging roughly 93 minutes on the vdB 126 nebula, 88 minutes on the M15 globular cluster, over three hours on the Andromeda galaxy, more than six and a half hours on M33 in Triangulum, and over three hours on the Pleiades. The session shows how compact smart scopes now allow long exposures on multiple targets in a single night.

Why now: Amateur astronomers regularly share observing sessions and equipment results, and this one covered several popular deep-sky targets in one night.
