My S50 pro arrived. See ALT for full description.

My new beast arrived a couple of days ago. Along with it, surprisingly, a couple of hours clear sky too. I wanted a comparison between the S30 pro and S50 pro so decided to try for one of the galaxies that had disappointed, understandably, with the S30 so pointed the S50 at C12 the Fireworks Galaxy. Not expecting much after clouds rolled in after only approximately 2 hours into collection I was pleasantly surprised both by the stability, no dropped frames at 60s and quality of collected data.
I appreciate that my Siril stacking and Veralux processing has rendered the galaxy in a slightly weird, if not unattractive, colour scheme. Also the addition of Newtonian Spikes will not be to some people's taste. That aside I am already impressed and looking forward to further adventures in space and time, hopefully starting tomorrow night 😊.
The Milky Way open star cluster NGC 6939 is faintly visible in the upper right of the image.
