Ratings and reviews

Latest update is problematic. 1) images no longer get saved to my phone's photo gallery (Google photos), I can only access them through the seestar app. This means I can't easily share any of these photos anymore. 2) accessing the images stored in the telescope itself is very slow and it keeps giving me a disconnected error. Also, there are cosmetic errors in the GUI, like "stargazing" and "planetary" are oddly truncated in the icon. Just feels a little rushed this time with loss of performance

Great app, adding new features with every update. The Seestar S50 itself is designed and built well for what is does/has. The system to update firmware via the app update works flawlessly, better than competitors' apps and most astrophotography equipment. The device firmware had some quirks (e.g related to "Horizon calibration"/platesolving) in the past, but the bugs are addressed with recent updates.

Simple to use but still confusing. Mainly the stacking function, that seems to have been changed, because when I watched the stacking tutorials, it seemed perfect. However, when I bought the machine a month ago, the stacking option is gone and the app is just different from the ZWO tutorials, it stacks the images itself. Also, no RAW files are produced in the Seestar, only FITS. All in all, an easy machine to use, but the produced images cannot be properly stacked in a program.
