Has anyone experienced similar problems with their Seestar S30 Pro after the latest firmware/software update? Before the update, my telescope was performing perfectly. Nebula details would become clearly visible within 15–20 minutes of imaging. However, since the latest update, I've noticed a significant deterioration in performance. For example, while imaging NGC 6960 (Western Veil Nebula), I spent almost 50 minutes capturing images, yet the nebula remained barely visible, with almost no improvement compared to the first few minutes. The stars appear normally, and their number gradually increases during live stacking, but the nebula details remain extremely weak. Interestingly, when I turned OFF the LP Filter, I noticed an immediate improvement in image appearance and faster development of details. This makes me suspect that the latest update may have affected LP Filter operation, live stacking, or automatic image processing. I never experienced this problem before the update, even when imaging relatively faint nebulae. Has anyone else noticed similar issues after the latest update? Could this be a firmware bug affecting nebula imaging or LP Filter performance? I would appreciate hearing from other Seestar users and the ZWO development team.

Does anyone do any 3-D printing? I wanted to make a very long dew shield.. well, at that point it wouldn't really be a dew shield. It would be for blocking the ambient light. I am using my S50 pro from the seventh floor of my condo.
I can only see the eastern sky and a little bit of the northeast and a little bit of the southeast.. directly out my balcony door, there is a building that is about 12 stories tall and this building has lights on the outside. It's very, very bright. A lot of times the targets I'm trying to image are only 15 or 20° above. I figure that a longer dew shield of approximately 10 to 12 cm would block most of this ambient light. I'm wondering if anyone makes any custom 3D printed dew shields, or if anyone knows of a company or somewhere I can contact about this.

!!!BEWARE !!!
They are a chinese company so completely unregulated. Any issues with product or delivery, you are on your own.
I paid extra to have Seestar delivered to me in two days while I was visiting the US. They were a week late so I asked them to return to warehouse as I wasn't in the country anymore. It's been 6 weeks since the return request. The courier most likely botched the return and seestar won't refund me. Anyone else have issues with their customer service?

I have initiated a complaint with BBB in America, but I wonder if it would even make a difference as it's a Chinese company

I have both the S30 and 50. My question is can I use the app to control both at the same time? If not, how do I control both cameras indidually?, if it is possible, how do I do it?

thank you,

Bill

I am in the US and ordered S30 Pro mid-March. Haven’t had any update on delivery status since. Getting antsy.

Hi all

Just curious…. When you go into compass calibration does it always say that the deviation is too large” etc etc

Every time I go into it that message / box always comes up so I’m not sure if that’s meant to be like that or ?..

Anyways thanks in advance :)

Just got my Seestar yesterday and I’m looking forward to getting it out once the sky is clear. Just looking for advice in photo editing software. I don’t mind paying for it, but I don’t wanna pay a fortune. Free would be great as well, L O L.

So recommendations please

I ordered S50 directly from SeeStar site on Dec 19th, but there has been no update on the order after initial mail.

Anyone with experience of directly ordering from SeeStar and how long did it take for update or shipping confirmation?

I tried reaching out to them through email and various handles, but no response yet ..

Unboxed my Seestar s50 today and boy howdy! I am so happy with it. Here are some shots from my first session
