Seestar S50 – Moon centered on screen but shifted in timelapse video during lunar eclipse?

Hi everyone, I recorded last night’s lunar eclipse from New Caledonia with my Seestar S50 using the timelapse mode. During the whole observation I was monitoring the image on my iPad, and the Moon always appeared centered on the screen. When the Moon turned red during totality, I manually adjusted the gain and exposure and re-centered the Moon to make sure it stayed in the middle of the frame. At one point, when the Moon became very dark, the Seestar temporarily lost it. After increasing the gain, the Moon became visible again and I re-centered it. However, when I look at the final timelapse video, the Moon is clearly shifted and even partially out of the frame during the red phase. This confuses me because I clearly remember that the Moon was perfectly centered on my screen at that moment (see the attached images). To help explain the situation, I am attaching two images: • two frames from the recording where the Moon appears centered • one frame from the red phase where the Moon appears shifted My question is: Is it possible that the Seestar processes or re-aligns frames when generating the timelapse and changes the framing? I would really appreciate your insights if you have experienced something similar with the Seestar S50. screencast from my screen during the recording screenshot from the final Timelapse video :

seestar50新故障新问题

今日在拍摄月亮时，想做延时摄影，平日仅做间隔时间设置，拍摄完后会自动机内生存视频即可。今日我多选择了一个raw选项，同样操作，拍了近一百张后选择停止拍摄，莫名出现死机状态，不能退出，等了几分钟一直没反应，于是我强行按电源键，听到关机的提示音，可半分钟依然电源灯亮着，再次强行长按电源键熄灭，但镜头没有归位。随后再开机，镜头在没归位的角度持续上扬，达到超90度时，卡了一下停止了。随着进入机器相册发现延时摄影的视频文件时长是0秒，不能播放，但可以叠加，是有数据的。很怪异。

🔭 Free tool for SeeStar users — SSLM beta.4 "The Stacker's Release"

If you're shooting with a SeeStar S50 and want to take your subs into Siril or PixInsight, beta.4 of SSLM just made that a lot easier.Export to Stacking is the headline feature — one button on your object page, and SSLM pulls all your .fit light frames, organises them by session date and capture parameters, and drops them into a folder structure that Siril and PixInsight load directly. Multi-night sessions handled automatically. Both EQ and Alt/Az sub-frame folders merged and deduplicated. Nothing in your original library is ever touched.The rest of the app manages your SeeStar library locally — browse objects, track integration times, merge library copies, clean up preview junk, look up cross-catalog names via SIMBAD. Fully offline, runs in your browser at localhost.Also new in this release: a live thumbnail preview of your latest image right in the object header, so browsing your collection actually looks like your collection.📥 Free Windows installer (no Node.js needed): https://github.com/AstroNoob-Tools/SSLM/releases/tag/v1.0.0-beta.4🔍 VirusTotal (75/76 clean — 1 heuristic false positive on a Node.js-bundled exe): https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/2dab40b285b0de647259a69dd31b67b91dafc72af5aae9434f8d4c88d79e7d14Main Object ScreenExport ScreenExports Results in PixInsight (Sitil will do same)Happy stacking! ✨

Has anyone printed any of their Seestar Images?

Wondering if anyone prints their seestar images and if so do you go through a 3rd party or are you doing it from home? If from home what printer, paper etc are you using. Id love to eventually print some of mine to frame but unsure whats the best way to go about it.
