When "Save Each Image" is enabled, the Seestar currently saves both the FITS file and a JPEG version (plus its thumbnail) for every frame.For users who perform their own post-processing, the FITS files are usually the only files that matter. In my case, I routinely delete all the JPEGs immediately after copying the data to my computer.It could be useful to add a small option next to "Save Each Image" allowing users to choose what to save:☐ FITS + JPEG (current behavior)☐ FITS onlyThis would reduce storage usage on both the device and the mobile device, especially during long imaging sessions where hundreds or thousands of frames are collected.The current behavior would remain the default, while advanced users who only need the scientific data could save considerable storage space.

I have a question about theLevel Sensor Calibration function in the Seestar S50 app.When using EQ Mode, the app shows the current latitude as 44°— which is correct for my location near Bologna, Italy — but the actual tilt angle shown by the app is about 46°, with a polar alignment deviation of about 0.3° downward.If I understand this correctly, this would imply an effective angle of about 45.7°, which is still noticeably different from the local latitude of 44°. I am not sure whether I am interpreting this display correctly, but it looks a little inconsistent to me.For this reason, I am wondering whether it would make sense to perform the Level Sensor Calibration shown in the app tutorial, placing the Seestar on a truly level surface and recalibrating its internal leveling sensors.However, I have also heard from some dealers and experienced users that this calibration should generally be avoided unless really necessary, because it overwrites the existing factory calibration values.So my question is:Is Level Sensor Calibration a safe and legitimate operation to perform when the EQ Mode angle/latitude indication seems inconsistent, or is it better to leave it untouched unless there is a clear and serious problem?I am not trying to “improve” the factory calibration unnecessarily. I just would like to understand whether this discrepancy could indicate that the level sensor calibration is off, and whether recalibrating it is considered a normal maintenance operation or something that should be avoided.Any experience or clarification would be very welcome.

🤷‍♂️A bunch of us get together and share our subs to compile into one massive image.

Posting this to get the achievement 😅

Here is a depiction of this asteroids approach past our planet and our moon if you are interested in catching it. It is currently visible even in the SeeStar S50. As well, for you North American observers, don't forget about this afternoons Lunar occultation of Venus. (June 17)

I have been collecting Star Coins since the end of January this year.Every single day. Sometimes people gift me coins.But what is the ultimate purpose of these coins?If you click on the "Star Coins Store," you'll get "Star Coin Store Coming Soon, Stay Tuned" for almost half a year now.But nothing happens!Could someone perhaps briefly explain to me what the purpose of this is?

Since the recent update I can't select the photography quest in the community posts anymore. Look at other people's questions about this it seems you use the hashtag system now? But none of the images I have posted this week have gone through towards lighting up the badge. (shooting with Seestar S50 and posting in the SeeStar app)

I'll be observing the total solar eclipse from Mallorca on August 12. I'd love to create a time-lapse video from the start of the eclipse until the fully eclipsed sun sets into the sea with the S50. However, since I have no experience yet with whether the Seestar is capable of keeping the sun in the center of the frame even as the eclipse progresses and whether it will remain there during the total eclipse phase (I would remove the filter during this time), I would be very grateful for any tips and advice on how to proceed. perhaps someone has already had experience with the S50 during other solar eclipses. It would, of course, be fantastic if ZWO were to integrate a special automatic mode for capturing solar eclipses into the app.
