Link to Telescope: store.seestar.com/DAMON I'm really enjoying this little telescope and I've already shot another video in which I'm using it to capture something pretty special! (Stay tuned🌟) Let me know how you get on with this telescope if you do decide to purchase it! I have a strong feeling that smart telescopes like this are going to make astronomy a lot more accessible for 1000's more people, which is veryyy exciting!🤩 Clear skies - Damon

@Kwint. 6 месяцев назад

Hey Damon! what happened to your 42 wonders of the night sky series?

@mhead81 6 месяцев назад

easier and cheeper

@johnfinnegan9647 6 месяцев назад

I am curious what you think its negatives may be in comparison to say a more expensive telescope setup. Obvious pieces aside such as the actual attachment to the experience or seeing our hard work finally take shape. Another possibly being that the resolution or contrast may be better with the more expensive setup. Do you have anything you would point out that this can't do in comparison to say a $1500+ setup? Kind of curious where the next price bracket would be, in your opinion, before getting much better results with an over all setup.

@THE-X-Force 6 месяцев назад

Did Seestar provide you with this telescope for review? If so .. then I think you should state that upfront. I'm not implying that the review is biased, and many channels make unbiased and fair reviews of products they were given. But, not letting the viewer know is sketchy.

@mencken8 6 месяцев назад

So- this is “Vapor View?” OK, I’m out….

@rasandberg 6 месяцев назад

Brilliant presentation Damon. I've watched scores of these S50 reviews. Yours is one of the very best. My S50 just arrived yesterday. Waiting for the clouds to clear. Can't wait to start photographing and experimenting. I subscribed to your channel. I was in my late 40s when I began my adventures in astronomy and then astrophotography. I am now 73 and this new technology involving smart telescopes is giving me hope that I can continue this hobby for many more years. I'm selling my heavy CEM40 in order to afford the much lighter AM5 to use with my other scopes. This Seestar S50 is going to make it so much easier to share the night sky with my children and grandchildren. Again brilliant presentation. Love your style.

@DamonScotting 5 месяцев назад

Thank you, very happy to hear it! I'm very envious of you for getting an AM5, looks like a beautiful mount from what I've read. Thanks 😁👍

Seestar S50 is very clearly the best telescope that Generation X, Y, and Z can buy right now. They're used to using their cell phones. They want small, simple, integrated systems. ZWO really hit it out of the park with this little scope. And the people who catch the astronomy bug can ramp up to larger, more powerful scopes.

@jonwek4332 5 месяцев назад

That can compare to the same feeling when SLR film cameras were replaced by digital , and that unbelievable moment of seeing an image on a screen taken just seconds ago instead of waiting a few days to get it back from the developers . The rewards of a great photo back then are unmatched.

@BDJones055 6 месяцев назад

I cannot wait for Santa to bring my S50. I bought the Dwarf 2 telescope using your promo code back in September and I've been out capturing images every clear night since. I've had 47 imaging sessions so far since getting the Dwarf. I've been struggling with astrophotography for a decade. I've spent many nights spending hours getting alignment and positioning perfect and then as soon as I start imaging, weather rolls in. I dont want to struggle with trying to take pictures. I want to start doing projects like my own sky survey. Document entire orbits. Animate long term change over time. These little smart telescopes are absolutely amazing. I'm hooked and decided to start a little youtube channel to document the journey. So far I've been coding some utilities to help manage some of the Dwarf 2 quirks. Thanks for everything Damon!

@PureAwareness76 6 месяцев назад

Insane, right? ❤ Love it. That's it. Period. I gave up with my new Astrophotography setup; only my desired William Optics Zenithstar 61 would cost £580. + mount, + guide scope + guide cam... Even if I own a DSLR / M4/3 cam, how much will be the end? Around £1500-2000? No way! Seestar S50 for 500 bucks. Period 🎉 For those professional Astrophotographers, who are worried about "lack of learning curve" - Dude, post processing (Siril, PixInsight, etc.) is still a learning journey! Like YOU did, right? 😂 Period.

@2010craggy 5 месяцев назад

Thats a great review of an amazing telescope! Yes, it’s very impressive and great fun but I’m curious as to what apps, software, or how the final images were processed with. I’ve owned mine for about 5 weeks now, but as you say we don’t really get those long, stable atmosphere clear nights very often here in the UK. Can’t wait to see more of this little scope as time allows.

I’m going to go ahead and get one . Thanks buddy 👍🏾

@inthewildwoods 6 месяцев назад

Wow. I wanted to get in to Astrophotography last year but the cost put me off. You sir, have reopened that option. This will do for me. I understand how hardcore astrophotographers might not approve, but for me, perfect to satisfy my cosmic curiosity. I’m sold.

@darenvenning3609 5 месяцев назад

Damon, great video and thank you! I’m now a subscriber. My question! Di you do much post processing with this scope? If so how? It’s only that these seem to be the best images I have seen so far. Appreciate your work. Daren

@clusterfork 6 месяцев назад

This is really impressive. I do understand the claim that using smart telescopes is not “real” astrophotography, but ever since I’ve been out of college I haven’t had time to deal with all that equipment. This looks like a really convenient way to get back into it (and image a lot more things than I ever could back then!). I’ll try to pick one up soon, thanks for showing this!

@yak8786 6 месяцев назад

I think the thing that sets real astrophotography from most smart telescopes is the processing not data acquisition. Astrophotography as an art comes mostly from the skills of the person processing the image not the gear, but with a smart telescope, it's all automatic and takes that part of it out entirely. Of course, this can be remedied by saving all the data and reprocessing yourself

@claudiotenreiro3111 6 месяцев назад

I believe that using an Smart telescope, from your places, is far better, and real astrophotography, than buying data sets ready to use from remote telescopes located in top places with bortle 1 sky. This particular model allows you to process the images at your will with the software you do prefer.

@DouglasLippert 6 месяцев назад

The only people that say it’s not “real” astrophotography are gatekeepers. You find these folks in every hobby.

@stevenmiller5452 6 месяцев назад

I do full astrophotography with my own rig built from components and manual processing. Saying that using a SeeStar isn’t “real astrophotography” is like saying using a digital camera isn’t real photography unless you shoot on film AND develop it yourself because the real art in photography is in the film development. I disagree with that sentiment and agree it’s just mud-slinging from the old practitioners that are upset to see their black-art getting democratized.

@hmuphilly9129 6 месяцев назад

the thing that sets apart is the smart scopes are not really for gathering 48 hrs of data or even more Ill say these are 95% EAA and around 50% AP thats just my guess though.

@blutey 22 дня назад

Thanks for the heads-up on this. Not what I was expecting in terms of looks for a telescope, where you normally expect a tube shaped object. Good that it seems so small, light and portable.

@glacialimpala 3 месяца назад

Thank you! I was planning to purchase Vespera but this seems like a better deal 🥰

@SrenHansenDK 6 месяцев назад

Great and honest review. Very informative. You kept me engaged the whole way. So, what's the next step up from the 500$ range of. smart-scopes? what does 750$ get you - something 50% better, or only 10% better if any improvement?

@Mike-AB7RU 6 месяцев назад

I can't believe that little scope took that photo of M42. Incredible! I thought you were just showing another Hubble image, until I played back the video and saw that it was taken by the S50.

@clusterfork 6 месяцев назад

Two questions: 1) What format are the output images? Is there any kind of RAW output? 2) Could you do any testing to make sure there’s no AI trickery going on in improving the images, as in the Samsung-Moon story a little while back?

@BrownCoatFan 6 месяцев назад

The SeeStar s50 telescope captures images in jpeg and TIFF formats and record videos in MP4 or AVI formats. It saves raw ina fit format, if I remember correctly. Another channel -Cuiv the lazy geek- looked into your 2nd question and found that it is not using trickery.

@clusterfork 6 месяцев назад

Nice, cheers!

@martinbriscoe9439 6 месяцев назад

Yes it is worth collecting the individual fit files. Seestar does a great job of stacking that I find hard to beat but twice it has stacked a poor shot so being able to stack yourself and remove the rogue shot is very useful. I use Siril for processing it's free but there is a learning curve and I have a way to go!

@msggrumpy3567 5 месяцев назад

I pre-ordered the SeeStar S50 on the pre-launch special for $399. And while I did Love that sale price, I paid my dues... Ordered in July and it arrived in November. I have an 8 inch SC and have been observing for quite a while. But this little S50 has blown me away. My first week I had solar, moon and Orion Nebula pictures that were astounding. Aside from it's very well designed GoTo system and communications suite. It weighs 6lbs and this is great. My only downside has been the very short Tripod and very finicky leveling setup since the leveling bubble is covered once the scope is on the tripod, then trying to get the legs shorter or longer to reach level. The one thing I would recommend to anyone who finds this frustrating is to get a micro leveler that attaches in between the tripod and scope. But that is the only thing that I had any problems with...on a 400 dollar scope that does such great things and gives such good results. I give it a 9.5 out of 10.

Remarkable gadget. I just wonder if the thrill would diminish quickly. After many telescopes I eventually got into imaging but got a little fed up with all the setting up. The S50 seems to solve many of the problems I faced. Might get one after the rush for Christmas!

@McP1mpin 6 месяцев назад

I feel like it would for me. I just don't get the point. Literally anyone with this scope can take these photos so you're not doing anything that takes skill and at the end of the day your photos won't match up to the pros so... Why? It's not like picking up a DSLR and taking photos because those at least can be unique to you.

@himalaYAK1983 5 месяцев назад

This thing is really cool, the only downside for me personally is the low resolution sensor of 2.1 MP. If they manage to put in a higher resolution sensor for a similar price point in the future I might be tempted to buy one.

You have done the most excellent job of presenting both The Dwarf 2 (in your previous video) and now The Seestar S50. If I were to make a video explaining these smart telescopes to the public, I wouldn't change a word! Absolutely perfectly said! To be honest, I'm supposed to do a little video on each scope myself - but I don't see how the explanation could be any better. You've really set the bar high mate! I feel compelled to share both your Dwarf 2 video, and this one, on my blog, via social media; and to my friends...

Damon, I am new to your channel and for my first video I chose this Seestar S50 demonstration. Fantastic content and I’ll be hanging around checking out your other video content! Thank you so much for helping us new to the hobby! Quick question ….how long did you set the Seestar outside to get the temperature of the scope acclimated to the air temperature that you had that night?Just curious… lastly, what impact would not acclimating the Seestar have had on your night of astrophotography? Does the Seestar small size help to reduce the impact on your data capture? Cheers and clear skies! Jerry

@ 14:00 min. The sky atlas is easily the best feature. The fact that you can see your framing projected on the night sky is insanely convenient. I bought a Unistellar equinox and I have to say it pretty good, but seeing what this one can do blows it out of the water. In particular I was annoyed with the data downloading process, I am curious to see how it works with this one. With the equinox you have to upload the data to Unistellar then request a link and it takes ages in my experience.

@jens-kristiantofthansen9376 6 месяцев назад

This is mindboggling. Until a few years back I had an 8inch Newtonian on a motorised mount. Nothing very special but I loved using it and had some great nights out with it. Except I didn't have enough nights out with it because it took time to set it up. It took time to do a lot of things before actually getting to use it. It was bulky. I won't claim you needed two people to set it up, but it honestly felt safer to do so that way. Even storage was a bit of a pain. I'd love to use it again but I just don't get the time. This thing honestly changes things and I'd be really interested in seeing where they might go with this technology. I love deep sky object but also feel a 'need' to check in on the neighbours. Add that to this or something like it, and I'd be sold. I mean, at this weight, or even an extra kg if they made something a tiny bit larger, you can take it hiking and camping, which I'd love to do.

Exact same problem. I have an 8-inch Newtonian and as a pain to set up when I just want to capture some photos. Just don't have the time just pull it out set it up get everything in line take photos for, put it away and go to bed. I ordered my s50 waiting for it to come in and I'm super excited because I miss taking photos just don't have the time to get ready. This will help with that.

I have one on order with FLO; I'm hoping it will arrive by the new year. What software did you use to enhance your images from the S50?

Fingers crossed! 🤞 Photoshop + Blurx. Also, made some decent edits just on my Samsung phone whilst waiting for other imaging sessions to be completed.

Can’t wait for mine, looks like it’s going to be another month or two according to the retailer. I understand that the Seestar does its own internal processing and stacking, but will it save the individual raw files and let me do my own stacking and aligning and processing? Edit: NM, It does. I rewatched a vid by Cuiv where he spelled it out.

@PureAwareness76 6 месяцев назад

Yes, we can do our own stacking + pp. For 500 bucks. Period ❤

what was the set up used ? the 850$ one 2:55. I wanna get into this but the mounts can be sooo expensive. I only have a 130mm for visual use

Thanks for the wonderful review! You mentioned it's not great at capturing solar objects like planets n it's moons....but I am interested in both solar n deep sky objects....so will this be the right choice? If not can you pls suggest which other smart telescope would fit

@DolbyDogAdventures 6 месяцев назад

Nice video. Can you take photos with foreground objects? Thank you.

I would have liked it if you had a section talking about the camera and specs and maybe what the raw images look like from it? This is quite intriguing but I just didn’t get all the info I needed out of this video (not saying it’s your job to do it all just trying to help make future videos more helpful)

Ive been on the fence about this because i already have a dslr, but i dont really have a telescope to use it for DSOs. I think im gonna buy this

@wilduc7302 6 месяцев назад

Got your DAMON discount for D2 but it’s tempting to buy the S50. Hopefully with the new app release of the D2 it will close te gap with the more refined S50. But up till now I’am still satisfied with the results of the D2. Don’t understand the complaints about smartcopes…..typical Statler&Waldorf mentality….

When I saw the final images you produced.. I kept shouting WOWOWOW! I am blown away. I ordered my Seestar back in June, and it's supposed to be delivered either this month [Nov] or Dec. I CANNOT WAIT! I used to own a very nice 10" DOB, with explore Scientific's best EP's and more. I always wanted to do astro-photos. Considering I'm on a small income, and cannot afford a huge and expensive setup, the Seestar is perfect! I also read from ZWO that they are working on adding a Mozaic mode. Thank you for IMHO is the best review and examples of any video highlighting the Seestar I've seen so far!!!

@PureAwareness76 6 месяцев назад

❤ That's it. Period. I gave up with my new Astrophotography setup; only my desired William Optics Zenithstar 61 would cost £580. + mount, + guide scope + guide cam... Even if I own a DSLR / M4/3 cam, how much will be the end? Around £1500-2000? No way! Seestar S50 for 500 bucks. Period 🎉 For those professional Astrophotographers, who are worried about "lack of learning curve" - Dude, post processing (Siril, PixInsight, etc.) is still a learning journey! Like YOU did, right? 😂 Period.

Everytime i your vids, why arent you on the tv.. Just,,,,, welll just amazing....

@martinbriscoe9439 6 месяцев назад

Thankyou I am enjoying mine too. Your images are much less noisy than mine. Your video suggests you are shooting from your backyard as I do. Are your skies really dark if not I'd love to know if and how you are post processing. I'm using siril but it is all very new to me.

@rustinpeace770 6 месяцев назад

You can edit the pictures to reduce noise, increase sharpness and improve the defenition of the stars. If that doesnt work then wait for it to be darker😊😊 Good luck!
