Top!

Apps très bien faite mais il manque un manuel en français et des parties de l’apps qui ne sont pas traduites ! 😡

Sheeeesh!!! An expensive Privacy Violation…. BEWARE!!!

You’ll need to give these individuals your blood type and I’m not even going to get started on the ‘WE DEMAND YOU CREATE AN ACCOUNT IN ORDER TO USE THE THING FOR WHICH YOU JUST PAID OVER £700!!! And when you try, the screen keeps resetting so the whole process has to start again - and again - and again - AND AGAIN!!! JFC!!! Make these sharks end!!!!

Appli

Langue française?? Tous les supports sont en anglais comme les détails des planètes et autres.. et surtout pas de mode paysage pour l’i pad!! C’ est vraiment très gênant et gâche mon futur projet d achat chez Seestar je visais le futur 50 pro et du coup je ne suis plus sûr du tout .

An excellent tool for the SeeStar S30 Pro

When I show my non astronomy wife and friends the pictures I get from my telescope, they are always wowed. I am not aware of a better software app for the SeeStar S30 Pro. I’m giving this five stars simply because I wow all my non astronomy friends.

Improving nicely

What would make this app perfect would be an AR overlay in SkyAtlas (similar to SkySafari) to plot obstructions when planning, and a “Time” feature to see where objects will be. It would also be nice to view RTSP streams for Stargazing/Deep Sky. Overall, the app has made a lot of improvements since I first started using it.

Update 3.3.0 goodness

I have been wanting a Seestar S50 since before they officially launched. I finally pulled the trigger on the S30 Pro last week. Having the better sensor made it an easy choice. My first experience with the app and device was OK, but I was getting disconnects nonstop despite being 3-5ft away. This new update seemed to fix the issues I was having. I also found that switching the WiFi on the S30 pro from 5GHz to 2.4GHz helped with disconnects as well. I cannot wait for the next clear evening to use this thing.

Kometenfotografie

Leider ein großer Schwachpunkt des S50, es führt nicht auf den Kometen nach, sondern auf Sterne. Der Komet wird zum Strich durch seine Eigenbewegung. Also dafür leider nicht verwendbar. Man sollte Seestar darauf hinweisen. Ich weis, es ist kompliziert, aber es lohnt sich! Liebe Grüße an das Team

Most Recent Update Destroyed My Seestar S30

My Seestar can't find or track objects now. I've calibrated the compass several times, set polar deviation, nothing works. Thanks for a year of fun and two months of frustration.

Perfekt keine Wünsche mehr offen

Hat 2 Jahre gedauert aber jetzt uneingeschränkt mit S50 zu empfehlen. Jetzt sogar in Deutsch

Amazing smart telescope

Just out of this world. Straight out the box 10 mins later taken pics of comets, galaxies etc. Get one

4K

I wish selecting 4K was easier to select and would stay on once selected until turned off. Would be nice to select before you Goto the object you wish to image.

Stop taking over audio and playing video

Still takes over audio so no other apps can play music, podcasts or steam when the Seestar app is in the foreground. What a stupid thing to do.

pretty good

i really like this app it’s super easy to use but one annoying thing is calibrating it every time while i know you can’t fix that in the app but also if you get to far away then you just get disconnected from the telephone and can’t pair again unless you’re right next to it

Great Telescope

What a great telescope very easy to learn. Great pictures right from the start. I played around with a Nikon P 900 but this is far superior You can’t go wrong with this purchase.

Seestar manuel en Français quand?

Un mode d'emploi en français s'il vous plait...Merciiiiiiii

3.0.2 kills S50 tracking

The app is well written. The UX is generally great.

UX Improvement: allow the user to toggle LP filter, exposure time, and setup framing before the camera moves to the selected location. Otherwise, the user must cancel after getting to the object, make the selections, and then hit record again.

After balancing and calibrating EQ mode with the current app version, I am routinely getting 40% stack rates while all of the others are rejections. Online, I’m seeing a TON of other experienced astrophotographers complain of high rejection rates all of a sudden just like me. I’m using a high end latitude wedge (Move Shoot Move).

Updates Continue to Break Scope

The last two updates have turned a $500 telescope into a paper weight. The update to v3 added adds to the app and made images unusable with the amount of noise introduced into the Fits files. The current update has made it impossible to track/ stack files due to tracking errors on frames. Many other users are experiencing the same errors and SeeStar keeps brushing off the errors as no big deal even though the product is effectively useless. They will not provide a way to rollback to WORKING firmware.

Latest Alpaca Update

Firstly, I have to say that I love your product ( I have the S50) and the very active development that you all put into the firmware and software.

However, in this update you mention an Alpaca update - 1.2.0-3 - with a URL to find out more. Unfortunately, the website requires a log in / account and, yet another, app to download.

Please could you add update details to your support page? I really don’t want yet more apps and accounts!

Annoying Update

The first clear night in weeks. In the field, just after sunset, I got a forced firmware update. It has been setting at 0% for 20 minutes. I am very, very annoyed.
