We do most of our test imaging at the front of the house protected from streetlights by two occultation boards. On the night of March 15-16 we were imaging the Leo triplet and Markarian chain galaxies as well as the Rosette nebula as reported in a previous post.

The equipment imaging at the front of the house
At the back of the house there is an easily accessible flat roof with a northerly aspect from which it is possible to image with the Seestar S50.
Seestar S50 plus WiFi extension equipment and power for the Seestar S50 on the rear flat roof.
The equipment and method used to extend the Seestar S50's WiFi is described in detail HERE.
The dew-shield was fitted to the Seestar S50.
All of the imaging, from the front and rear of the house is done in the comfort of indoors.
The Seestar S50 was used to image M13 with 30 minutes worth of 10s exposures
