Damn good shot, 👏 👏 👏.. This is similar to a device that I was going to order in preparation for the total eclipse back in 2024.. In fact, it was the company's ad that was the reason I learned about the eclipse, since they were using the eclipse as a reason to buy their device lol. But, unfortunately, I wasnt able to buy one, so my shots turned out like crap 😅

oh no hahaha! We took some shots with this one in 2024 as well and they were out of focus lol

Way cool. Glad to see the flat earthers haven't flooded the comments with ignorance yet.

30 mm :-(. Looking forward to a redo with h-alpha background on that 100mm you have ;-). Never been interested myself in man-made, but seeing this I added it now in my own bucket list.

I managed it last week with my S30 Pro. I know how exciting it feels! Couldn’t believe I’d pulled it off.

Wow- that was SO cool!!! Thank you for that. Wish you well.

I am glad you got that thing to work. I have one and it's next to worthless. I was hoping that I could get it to work since I have a phone with a really good camera on it, but I could never get the app to work right.

I didn’t use their app! TBH I think you can only use it for the sun and the moon and I figured surely I can find those by myself 😅

​@the_space_koalathe app can be used for pretty much anything if i remember correctly. We used it on the solar eclipse and it was ok. I tried it on a dark night and it just could not get a handle on the stars and never initialize. So why the Stellina is a great piece of equipment the Hestia, to me, is a piece of junk.

I have the same chance here in a week! But with the sun!!! Wish me luck. Angular size will be almost the same as yours.

In the thumbnail for this video you look so excited I thought you were doing something illegal.

Can you imagine if you used a Galaxy phone? You could probably see an astronaut giving you the bird.

Did you know that many Hestia owners use OpenLiveStacker with it?
