Planetary settings for Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus?

These three planets are the ones I see the most so what's the best settings for the S50? managed to get Jupiter once but now I can't remember what settings I chose.

A majority of discarded images with exposure longer than 10 seconds with my S50 in Eq mode: what am I doing wrong?

I took many wonderful pictures with the standard 10 secs exposures both in AltAz and Eq mode (in the latter case using a Skywatcher tripod and Eq head). I made the polar alignment withinh the 0.3, 0.3 limits (green check), and I tried the 30 secs exposure on a galaxy (M51). The first 10 minutes I got only the first 2 frames, and the next 18 were all discarded. I made a similar try yesterday: same result. Anyone has suggestions? Should I take care of a perfect polar alignment 0.0 , 0.0? Should I calibrate something more? Could it be the building vibration (or light wind) since I live at 7th floor (rooftop)? The tripod quality and stability is excellent. The rooftop is solid (see picture). Thank you so much for your help.

Exposure time equatorial mode S30 Pro?

Hi, I love my S30 Pro so far. Now I would love to experiment with the equatorial mode. Does anyone have a recommendation for a sweet spot in exposure time? I have read online that the S50 has a sweet spot around 20s and the S30 around 30s. Clear skies

This is going to be my biggest plan so far

Just set up a plan for tonight as it's meant to be a clear UK night. I have M67, Leo triplet galaxies, and M64 and on 20s exposure for the first time instead of my default 10s exposure time. Also have the anti-dew shield and star mask attachments on so I'm looking forward to seeing the results tomorrow. Happy stargazing all 🌌 🔭 🌍 #Seestar S50# #To the depths of the universe# #Messier Grand Slam# #Leo triplet#

Seeking clarification on group access

I’ve noticed that I am suddenly unable to see or access the Seestar (Official ZWO Group). I have been a regular contributor sharing my imaging results, but now the group appears blocked for me. Can someone explain the logic behind this? Is there a specific rule I unknowingly violated, or is the group's moderation currently biased against certain types of posts (like EQ mode or technical modifications)? I would appreciate an honest answer from the admins.

Is there any retailers that sell a cover for the Seestar S50? more so to keep it warmer on those cold nights.
