Frustrated-Hidden Features within the app

Now that we have cloud cover, I can't "go to" a target, and therefore I can't see my exposure timesand other settings for many days. It's crazy that this is hidden behind the targets!! Surely this have got to be changed on the next update? Apart from this frustration I love the product keep up the good work 😀🌈

EQ mode: pushing limits of SW wedge, AZ-GTI tube and S30 Pro tripod

Hi everyone, Just want to share an image of my setup using S30pro in EQ mode with its stock tripod and the combination of Skywatcher wedge and tube from AZ-GTI. Worth saying, this is not a solid piece of engineering I would use in wind conditions but for calm nights it works perfectly. When you live in a place where you can't easily buy astro hardware at a fair price, you'd better use your creativity To add more adrenaline, I put it on the edge of a balcony column... with some rope trying to counter weight just in case 🐔 Night II: rope moved up to increase counterweight 😂 Night I: successful!

Why there is no option NOT save JPGs subs

This could be set ON by default, but could save > 14% of limited space if OFF. It would be useful for anyone who plan to camp for few days with telescope and w/o notebook. Noone is stacking JPGs just using FITs, right? I have script that can run remotely from PC directly on S50 via wifi and clear all *.jpg in *_sub folders.

Video file upload and its size and limitations

I'm curious about this: I have an S30 Pro that shoots 4K video. But I can't share this video, like a timelapse, on my page because it's limited to 20MB. I'd have to trim my 44MB, 15-second file down to 5-6 seconds, and what's the point?

S50 white balancing and calibration

Can I get any feedback from experienced S50 users 1: do you redo dark frames manually or just when SeeStar auto performs on the first target. 2: do you do white balance and if so how often. 3: if you have done 2 would you be confident in saying it has improved your image quality. ? Thank you friends for any input. Cheers and clear skies

New feature : exposure during plan

I would love to have the ability to change the exposure time during a plan in the seestar app. Eather manually if you realise while gazing that the stacking is failing due to too long exposure or in a scheduled way (ex: i want to shoot M42 but 1h with 10sec exp then 1h with 30sec)
