Seestar S30 Pro Captures Deep-Sky Photos While You Sleep - Yanko Design
"Seestar S30 Pro is a smart telescope that weighs about 1.65kg and folds a telescope, auto-focuser, camera, Alt-Az mount, filter wheel, and controller into one compact body. You power it on, tap your phone to connect, and the system is ready. The idea is to replace a trunk full of gear with a palm-sized observatory that lives in a backpack but still feels like a serious instrument."
"Setting it up under a clear sky, you open the app and choose from more than 80,000 deep-sky objects and 600,000 stars. With one-tap GOTO, the S30 Pro slews to the target, locks on, and starts tracking. You pick a mode, Stargazing, Milky Way, Solar System, or Scenery, and let the dual-lens 4K system with its IMX585 telephoto and IMX586 wide-angle sensors stack and refine frames."
"Milky Way and star trails modes let you watch the sky drift across the frame or trace arcs over time-lapse. Built-in 8K stitching automatically mosaics horizontal or vertical panoramas, expanding the field far beyond a single frame. A freeze-the-ground feature separates foreground from sky, keeping the landscape sharp while the Milky Way stays crisp and trail-free, all from a single tap that would normally require separate exposures."
Seestar S30 Pro weighs about 1.65kg and integrates a telescope, auto-focuser, camera, Alt-Az mount, filter wheel, and controller into one compact body. Powering on and tapping a phone connects the system for immediate use. The companion app provides access to over 80,000 deep-sky objects and 600,000 stars with one-tap GOTO for slewing, locking, and tracking targets. A dual-lens 4K imaging system uses IMX585 telephoto and IMX586 wide-angle sensors to stack and refine frames across modes like Stargazing, Milky Way, Solar System, and Scenery. Milky Way and star-trail modes, 8K panorama stitching, freeze-the-ground foreground separation, an apochromatic four-element lens, triple filters tuned for OIII and Hα, and active anti-dew control support long, high-quality sessions.
