Tips And Tricks Using Seastar On Skywatcher Wedge? How To Get Perfect Polar Alignment within 1 Minute?
Hello everyone, fellow Seastar users! I’m reaching out to discuss the new EQ mode that ZWo has introduced for the Seastar. While it's an exciting addition, I find that achieving perfect polar alignment can be quite the challenge, especially with the Skywatcher wedge. I've noticed that when the wedge's altitude is set to 0, the Seastar’s altitude adjusts to about halfway, which seems like a crucial point. However, pinpointing the most effective settings for altitude and azimuth feels somewhat random right now. I’m curious if anyone has found effective strategies or tricks for optimizing the setup, perhaps by setting the altitude and azimuth to 0 initially? I really wish there were a more straightforward approach to polar alignment, as it tends to be quite time-consuming. If anyone has insights or techniques, particularly with the Skywatcher wedge, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Seestar S50 | EQ Mode Setup 🔥
Getting ready for tonight's session! 🤩 Let's get those 60s exposures 😎
30s + exposures on Seestar S50
Last night, I tried a small session on M94, running 60s exposures in EQ mode. Yes... 60s exposures... and yes, with the Seestar S50. How!?!? Well, setting up the Seestar S50 network mode to station, and using the Seestar ALP windows application. This can open a whole new world of possibilities for this great little scope! https://github.com/smart-underworld/seestar_alp Will try a full session tonight, if the weather allows it. Promising stuff guys 🤩

How to delete favororites in My Favorites in the Seestar App?
Hi, How would I be able to delete any favorite objects entered in the My Favorite section of the Sky Atlas in the Seestar App. It is easy to enter new object, but I did not find a way to delete them. Thanks for any advice. Rudy
我手上有两个镜头
一个是广角头，一个是减焦头，都是42mm的。 今年回国的时候我准备买个42转50的接环，然后把镜头装到s50前边试试看，就是不知道还能不能合焦了，希望能搞出个广角的s50就好玩了。
