Moon & Planets Captured! | Seestar S50 + Edge HD 8 | Urban Astrophotography

Join me as I capture the Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Venus — and the Blood Moon — from my city rooftop! Using the Celestron Edge HD 8" and the Seestar S50 Smart Telescope, I explore what it takes to image the Moon and planets in urban skies. I share my thoughts on gear, setup, and key tips for planetary and lunar astrophotography — plus the results in both photos and video.

📸 Also included: My attempt to capture the Blood Moon visible on September 7, 2025.

Hope you enjoy and find it useful — don’t forget to like and subscribe if you’re into astrophotography.

🌌 Clear skies!

Wido.
