Previous Thread: >>4408437My astronomy club is doing an outreach on smart telescopes in a few more months so I decided it pick up an S30. Its been delightful so far; setup is a breeze compared to my primary rig. Think it will be a great little thing for more casual imaging. We're not in the best time of year for my FOV, but I was able to get a little time in on M5.
Crux on a Canon 135mm f2.5
My current telescope isn't ideal for astrophotography and the Astro mode on my phone does okay with pic related but I wish it had a wider fov to capture the entire Milky Way (and without the ugly green tinge and red circles around every photo), do you think it's better to wait for the S50 Pro to come out or get the S30 pro now?
>>4508706Filmed this about 30 minutes ago but the fog is starting to come in, as said I just wished it could go at least a bit wider without switching to another camera and having the quality take a nosedive.
>>4508706Really depends on what FOV you need to fill any gaps. If you already have something with a deep view, I would go S30 pro. If you only have wide angles available, I'd go with the S50 pro.Your image would benefit from some SCNR. Unless that green is coming from aurora or artistic preference, consider limiting your green channel. Great picture btw.

>>4508709Sounds like I should just get the S30 then, as for >>4508710That's amazing, saved, thanks, my Samsung S25+ usually does it by default on Expert RAW and I have no idea why, I tried using GIMP and some guides to get rid of the green and red with disappointing results but you've done it perfectly.
>>4508712I did it in Pix but that's a paid platform. You can achieve the same thing in Siril which is free. Very easy to do, check it out if you need to remove green sky glow.
>>4508718I'll look into Siril, cheers.
