In this video I will be taking the ZWO SeeStar S50 Scope out to image the moon. I originally aimed to show how quick it was to image the moon but due to tree issues I couldn't do it as quick as I'd expected, still 6 minutes is still very quick start to finish!!!
Review Disclaimer: Originally was just being loaned the telescope for review but in the end they have offered me the scope for free whilst having issues with a preproduction model. As a result however, I have marked this as a paid promotion because I have benefitted personally from the situation. ZWO haven't asked to see this video or approve anything before I posted this on RU-vid.

Great vid. A good addition to Seestar lunar imaging is a filter holder with a 2 inch neutral density filter so you can even out the surface brightness without creating dark spots on the terminator. I got a set of 3 filters of different filtering intensities. The set with a lined case to hold them cost $30 on Amazon.

Thanks for this info. I got my Seestar about a week ago. This thing is amazing.

@astrojourneyuk Месяц назад

@txdave2 it’s pretty good isn’t it. I’m looking forward to future ZWO upgrades though. The sensor feels like it could be better.

I order a S50 yesterday. I can’t wait for it to land

@astrojourneyuk 5 месяцев назад

How have you found it? Had a chance to use it yet?

@ChesterDraws 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing.

@astrojourneyuk 8 месяцев назад

No problem.

@Tanxmann 8 месяцев назад

I will buy the SeeStar S100 next year, if they increase the resolution and make a proper PC software - so I can access it like any other device on my network.

@astrojourneyuk 8 месяцев назад

I agree higher resolution would be good although PC control feels to me like it’s not really where this device aimed at.

@tomcaron9113 8 месяцев назад

Right now I just want mosaic mode.

@astrojourneyuk 8 месяцев назад

@tomcaron9113 that would be nice. I have mentioned it. You can always manually do it. Or are you thinking of getting the scope to image and stitch? That would be a cool feature.

@tomcaron9113 8 месяцев назад

@@astrojourneyuk Yes, image and stitch. It would address the horizontal issue, at least a bit.

@astrojourneyuk 8 месяцев назад

That would be a feature and a half!!!

@stuartpinkney2340 8 месяцев назад

However as much as it works on the iPad but annoying is it only shows in portrait mode. I wish it was able to do both.

@astrojourneyuk 8 месяцев назад

Here’s hoping that change comes soon. I’ll feed it back.

I just ordered one. I am a beginner in this topic. I was always interested in Asto. But the hassle with ordinary telescopes I tried never satisfied me. I just want to look a bit, not fiddle around with pretty analog tech.

@raytbrown2 8 месяцев назад

Thank you!

@astrojourneyuk 8 месяцев назад

no problem. I hope it was useful. A bit of a pain about the tree issue, but still pretty quick.

@MarcoRyser 7 месяцев назад

Waiting for mine to arrive. I wonder if there is a way to do exposure brackets in order to lift the shadow area into the visible range? Or will you have to do that manually?

@craiglowery4427 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing. Do you have to level the tripod?

@sarosek 2 месяца назад

Great presentation, but I have a question. Can this telescope be connected to a computer and detected as a camera, or is it only compatible with a phone app? The main goal is to conduct several-hour live streams on platforms like Facebook or RU-vid and observe the moon.

@astrojourneyuk 26 дней назад

It’s not something I’ve tried. The usb is just for transfers of images as far as I’m aware. Maybe you could screen cast from a phone or tablet somehow?

@mishacirkunov5328 2 месяца назад

Can I use this little magic device at gun range to look at holes at 300-400 meters ?

@astrojourneyuk Месяц назад

Mmmm. Possibly. I did you it to image a chimney stack on a house but that was about 50 meters away. There’s a possibly without trying that the target might be too small still.

@jtepsr 8 месяцев назад

how did you stack the lunar video clip

@astrojourneyuk 8 месяцев назад

Probably badly. 😂 I used Autostakkert which is free software for Mac and Windows. Once the raw avi was stacked I then pulled it into affinity photo (so much cheaper than photoshop) and sharpened, tweaked the white balance and adjusted the contrast using curves.

@cato451 7 месяцев назад

I spent almost 2 hours doing everything you did probably about 25 times over and over and over and my Seestar refuses to find the moon full moon. Unbelievable must be a bug in this software.

@astrojourneyuk 7 месяцев назад

Oh dear that is frustrating. I have seen on the odd occasion it has worked fine first time and then on other occasions it struggles. The same with finding the sun but platesolving wouldn’t work in that situation. Did you see the moon at all or give up?

@andrewsteele111 8 месяцев назад

Can you not stack with the seestar itself?

@astrojourneyuk 8 месяцев назад

It doesn’t look like it stacks. You either have the option to take an image which is instant or to record a video or raw avi and you then just get the video files to do what you want with.

@brianklein9744 7 месяцев назад

@@astrojourneyuk that is true for video (lunar, planetary and solar mode) but SeeStar does stack in Stargazing mode.

@reachforthestarchannel 7 месяцев назад

Good ❤❤❤

@Drengr19 6 месяцев назад

How do I stack the video? Is it through the deep sky stack in the app?

@astrojourneyuk 6 месяцев назад

For the moon, sun and planets you need a planetary stacking app. Deep sky Stacker only works for nebula and galaxies. Some examples are Autostakkert, Lynkeos (these work on Mac too)
