It's interesting to see the pics from the Seestar. I've been intrigued by astrophotography as an add-on for an existing camera, i.e. a tracker mounted camera. That would seem to be a relatively modest incremental carry. That said, I know nothing of the process and wonder if it's a rabbit hole I really ought to climb down 🫣

There is a bit of a learning curve but coming from a photography background, you'll catch on quickly. The main learning curve, besides learning the telescope, is understand the software used for stacking and then processing. I use Pixinsight for most of the stacking and processing and then move into LrC and Photoshop. Pixinsight can be difficult to learn but a new software tool called AstroWizard simplifies the processing considerably.
