Most (but not all) of the variable stars I tried over the past month or so were simply too bright for this sensor. The target stars were saturated (ie some of the pixels’ electron wells simply  overflowed) despite using the shortest available exposure, adding the light pollution filter and refocusing. Seestar won’t let your change the ISO nor open the shutter for less than 10 seconds.

I did get some believable light curves on BE Lyncis (aka HD67390)and U Cephii (aka HD 5679). I attack some graphs I made.

I used some black plastic I had,and my set of Forster bits, to make holes of sizes 1”, 1-1/8”, 1-1/4”, and 1-1/2”, in case I want to try brighter variable stars again like RR Lyrae. 

I very impressed that Seestar absolutely nails the locations of every single one of these targets! I’m also pleased that AstroImageJ allows quick and easy plate-solving!
