Seestar

Pretty good and easy to use app. Still waiting for panorama feature, so Andromeda galaxy can fit :)

The app is very good, but I would like if there was a feature for leaving your Seestar overnight. I’d recommend that you can set it so that when the telescope reaches XX precent battery, it automatically saves the photo and shuts down. The feature will be good for me and many other people because we don’t have to wake up in the middle of the night to shut down the Seestar.

I’m almost certain the original app worked in landscape mode on my iPad, that seems to no longer be the case.

I forced to write a not so great review because of how ZWO keeps pushing “must” updates which ends up bricking the Seestar scope many times . They push updates quite frequently and they seem to be making things worse than before. They are not adding anything the Seestar scope isn't getting any better ninjas no clue what they are doing and why.

Since the update, the app is unusable. When trying to do stargazing mode, the app asks for my location. I tap done. It asks again. It is impossible to get past this. Fix this!!

Cannot image or focus except in scenery mode. When press Stargazing as an example, get a message to update location. This is continuous. Can center and locate objects. But that is it.

Version 1.20 has a major flaw with iOS systems - do not install !!!!

The latest update continually asks for user to input location info in a continuous loop. Never gets to the next screen where it looks for object requested.

I've owned the ZWO SeeStar for six months now and have thoroughly enjoyed using it. As someone deeply involved in astronomy and astrophotography, I can confidently say this little unit packs a punch. Its ease of use and portability make it a fantastic choice for both beginners and experienced astronomers. Despite having eyepieces that cost more than the SeeStar, I find myself reaching for this compact powerhouse frequently. It's a remarkable tool that offers excellent performance and value. Highly recommended! ---

ZWO hit a home run with Seestar. I’ve had more fun with it in the last 8 months since mine got delivered than I’ve had with my $5k astrophotography rig in the last several years, mostly bc Seestar is so easy to set up and run. I’ve videoed two eclipse and spent scores of nights sitting at my kitchen table running Seestar that’s out on a tripod in my yard. The only problem, and it’s inherent, is field rotation, and I wish so hard that they would give us equatorial mode.
