Zwo thank you

S50

This app just keeps getting better

I love my Seestars - I’ve had three (still got two but sold one to buy a S50 Pro! ) and they’re great. The software/firmware has improved immensely over the years since I bought my 1st S50 on preorder.

Their support team are brilliant, so helpful and easy to work with.

If there is one thing that I would like to see added is a place where I can add software/firmware Enhancement requests.

Other than that, your product and tools have completely opened up Astrophotography for me!

Cannot use wifi

Despite days of work trying to get this to connect to my home Starlink wifi it would never connect. This is outrageous for the price. Yes I can use the scopes wifi but that’s not the point. No response from the company

Excellent App - Fun to use

Would like the ability to save mosaics so I.can do multiple days

잘쓰고있습니다

잘쓰고있습니다. 성능도 좋고, 밤하늘에 이렇게 많은 천체들이 있다는것을 이 스마트망원경으로 접했습니다.

If only they could touch grass

The hardware is fantastic. My first foray into astrophotography and it’s giving me more and more as I learn and, occasionally, get some clear skies. The app, however, appears to be written by people who did not get the “make it easy for beginners to enjoy themselves “ message.

Quick and easy

I’ve had my S30 for almost a year. It's my goto tool for observing. Last night at a star party with friends, someone asked what a white whispy cloud was.
The Pleiades, someone else replied.

In less than 30 seconds I had switched my S30 from PacMan nebula to the Pleiades and was imaging.

App impeccable

Les pdf et Tutos complètement en français sur l’appli ce serait vraiment Top ! Sinon très intuitive très bonne application pour ce smart télescope.

Since latest update…

My ability to connect or stay connected to my seestar has been horrible. It takes repeated connection attempts. Once connected I will run and then lose connection all over. Makes keeping an eye on your session infuriating.

❤️❤️❤️

😍🥰😘😍🥰😘

Great telescope- a bit of a learning curve

Using the scope is not as easy as implied, but once the basics are correct the results are incredible.

Object Catalog always disappears

After using the app once and then closing it the entire object catalog disappears. Happens every time. I have to delete the app completely and then reinstall it every time I want to use my Seestar Smart Telescope in order to get the catalog back. Wish the catalog would persist. Major bug - very frustrating.

Always improving

I have had this app and my S50 for about 14 months now. This team always are upgrading and improving the app as well as telescope firmware. They never rest! This scope has really got me back into astronomy and doing some astrophotography that I never would have thought was so accessible. Great work, guys!! Love this little telescope!!

Good at then accurately diminished.

Was able to slew directly to the sun, then after a month it was way off and have to manually slew to it.
Having a hard time polar aligning in EQ mode. Otherwise everything is OK

Sprache und Bedienung.

Endlich funktioniert das S50 super, auch in Deutsch. An der Bedienung könnte man vielleicht noch ein wenig arbeiten. Aber sonst SUPER.

Big mo

Superb functionality for the price

Horrible Chinese cartoon.

I disagree with previous reviews that say this is no longer working with iOS. It does. What I really object to is some cutesy avatar of a squashed marshmallow rabbiting on. I locate an item and I get a high pitched Chinese accent voice destroying my enjoyment. WHAT IN HEAVEN ARE YOU THINKING! I did not agree to this egregious imposition and find it disturbing and insulting. Big fail.

Presque parfait !

Ce logiciel est vraiment impressionnant (bon, en astronomie de pilotage d’un Telescope, je n’en ai pas utilisé d’autres…), mais à côté d’une réelle intelligence de conception, certaines incohérences persistent dans l’enchaînement des options !
d’ou l’utilité d’un VRAI manuel, et en français (!), car beaucoup d’utilisateurs attirés par l’accès (apparemment) facile de la photo-astronomie amateur butent sur l’obstacle de la langue anglaise !
la solution de regarder les blogs (excellents) d’amateurs canadiens n’est qu’une solution approximative.
Ce merveilleux « petit » Telescope mériterait un manuel !
merci

Please improve OSX compatibility

On my M4 macbook air there is a glitch where the framing rotation sliders do not appear at the bottom of the screen. Yes, it’s not guaranteed to work on a macbook, but the Scopetrader review of the Seestar S50 Pro recommends using the app on a laptop rather than ipad or iphone as follows: “On a portable device, some AI operations may use BIN 2 output to reduce memory and processor demand. BIN 2 combines each two by two group of pixels into one output pixel. A 3840 by 2160 image becomes 1920 by 1080. The linear resolution is cut in half and the total pixel count drops to one quarter. On a CMOS sensor, software binning does not produce the same read noise advantage as classic CCD hardware binning, because the pixels have already been read. It can still improve apparent signal to noise through averaging and makes processing much lighter. On a capable Mac, BIN 1 processing preserves the native 4K grid. It also makes it easier to move the result into Photoshop or another editor without passing files through several mobile sharing steps.”

did you remove anti-dew from the 3 dots menu? if so it needs to be put back. if you want it under device management put it in both places
