    • A really good astrophotography system, at a great price.
Compass adjustment takes less than a minute, and by using a supplemental 3-point level attached between the tripod and Seestar S50, leveĺing is done in just a few minutes, and the Seestar is ready to find objects. If you first direct the Seestar to find a particular star, horizon calibration is automatically done. I also use a supplemental dew shield to cut down on any external side light (from street lights or the moon). Now choose from among an internal catalog of hundreds of objects. When the Seestar arrived, I spent the next couple of days learning its various menus and operations inside my house, and practicing calibration techniques. I took the Seestar out just before sunset on the third day. Within 1 hour after sunset my first object was Antares, a 3 minute total exposure, using 10 second stacked frames. Then I moved 3 minute exposures of the nearby globular cluster M80 (which resolved into dozens of stars) and magnitude 9.8 comet Olbers. I finished with my main task, a 20 minute exposure of comet Tsushinchan-ATLAS. The image filled the frame, with the main dust tail going up and the fainter anti-tail going down. The comet's head was brilliant white. Though I am extremely happy with Seestar's final internally processed image of the comet, I also did external processing on my Windows 10 computer, using the free programs GraXpert and Siril. A lot of extra detail was brought out with this. The Seestar, it's tripod, the supplemental leveler and dew shield, and the USB cable all fit into the carrying case. At about $500, the Seestar S50 is well worth it! ... show more

I had been doing astrophotography for several years, and I wasn’t able to handle it most of the time. I’m disabled and have to deal with a lot of pain, and much of the tedious procedures you have to go through to get good DSO images were just entirely too rough on me. I wound up selling all of the equipment I had spent many thousands on and retired back to the chair, watching JWST images in my screen saver! lol I had seen the smart telescopes and really wanted one, but the prices were pretty steep and I couldn’t afford them. When I recently saw this one and how small it was, I was like, nah! No way that gets good DSO shots! The aperture is entirely too small, I’ve spent more on ZWO cameras for my last telescope, and it just looked like a desktop toy! I thought about it, fought through my denial, and decided to go ahead and grab one. I mean, if it sucks, I could always return it! This did NOT suck! When it arrived, the thing was pretty much ready to go! Just pop it on the tripod, download the app, get it all connected (easy least!), and start sky watching! I seriously couldn’t believe how easy it was to get going! With my old 8” telescope and the go to alt-azm mount, it took me forever and a day to get it polar aligned! And even then, I punched in an object only to have it go towards the object, and I was still searching! If you’re trying to find some of the dimmer galaxies or nebula, you’re screwed! This thing connects to gps, and as soon as it starts up, it’s pretty much set up and ready to go! I did have to turn the entire unit around twice for it to calibrate, but dayumn! The worse thing that can happen there is that I’d get a little dizzy from spinning my old @$$ around! lol I immediately took some shots of the sun with the included solar filter, and was amazed at what I was able to see! I had never seen solar flares and sunspots that weren’t someone else’s pictures, and that was pretty cool for me! I haven’t tried it at night yet, but that’s due to an issue pretty much every telescope has: The Telescope Curse! Yes, the evil curse nearly everyone has when they buy a telescope! You’ll have clear skies for a month straight, and the local weather stations are reporting clear skies for the next 10 days! But they don’t include: “Unless you just purchased a telescope.” It has been almost a month now, and the skies have been mostly cloudy, to fully cloudy every night! Happened when I bought my last telescope and the one before that. Took almost 6 months to have an ideal night last time, and I’m praying it won’t be that long with this one! Anyway, this is a great little telescope that’s very well built, and works very well! I highly recommend it!! ... show more

Wow, this is so easy and so cool. It may not be the most professional unit out there. But then again I’m not a professional. But this thing takes awesome pictures. I’m now into Astro photography!

    • Amazing Smart Telescope
For the money, IMHO this is the best budget smart telescope at this time. Expect the market to have more options in the future, but I am enjoying astrophotography NOW. Easy to use and all you need is a good photo processing software to enhance exposure, contrast, reduce noise, image sharpening and color. In auto mode, the S50 will find, center and auto focus on the deep space object you select from the Seestar S50 app (free download) menu. However, you also have the option to find, focus and take pictures of objects manually whether it be astro or just landscape including wildlife. ... show more

    • Very good quality item, superb images, easy to use
This is a super digital telescope, it allows you to take pictures of the planets, constellations etc..., also imaging the sun using the supplied filter gives amazing results. Very easy to use, just install the app, connect and ready to start imaging.

Had this for a little under a month so far. I have my own crazy expensive rig that takes me probably 45mins or so to set up (putting it together, calibration frames, tracking, etc) but this thing is amazing. You can literally set it up in 5 mins. All of the features that are included here (triple lens, filter, autofocus, calibration) would easily cost multiple times of what this is going for. It is and alt/az setup but you can easily overcome that by polar aligning it so no field rotation. This IS BY FAR the best value and way to get into EAA and astrophotography. I only wish that I knew about it sooner! If you’re on the fence, just do it! I love my SeeStar! ... show more

    • so easy to use
It's amazing the images of space this little telescope can capture. I would recommend it to everyone that loves to look at the galaxies, nebulas and far away star clusters that you can't see with the naked eye.

    • Product does not work at all on PC/ laptop or windows based mobile products
The telescope works great on I-phones and android product only. The company ZWO does not support any Windows based products. Their customer support offers no help and are very upfront and short about it when asked. I Haven't found and android emulators to work either and this time...
