Seestar S50 advert -fan made .......
Lol was bored today at work , so thought id make a seestar s50 advert lol , yes its not a polished production, but I dont think its that bad lol , as you cant upload video ive added link but ill add some screen shots and storyboards s50 advert Think of ZWO Seestar not as a "telescope manufacturer," but as a Tech Lifestyle Brand. The Bridge Builder: ZWO (the parent company) is known for high-end, technical astronomy cameras for geeks. Seestar is their sub-brand for everyone else. Consumer Tech vs. Scientific Instrument: Traditional telescopes are clunky, manual, and require skill. The Seestar is "The iPhone of Telescopes." It is an appliance, not just an instrument. The "Anti-Frustration" Brand: The brand exists to remove the three biggest pain points of astronomy: Complexity (polar alignment), Weight (heavy iron mounts), and Cost (thousands of dollars). @天文知识馆 what you think 🤔

Seestar disconnected by himself?
My Seestar telescope is disconnecting by itself. And after that and sometimes pass The app keeps sending a message that the telescope is trying to connect. Why is this happening? Is being happening since the last update. Thank you .

Curva de luz exoplaneta Wasp77Ab
Primer intento más o menos exitoso de detección de exoplaneta wasp77Ab mediante tránsito de su estrella, hay que mejorar las técnicas y suavizar la curva pero me quedo impresionado que con un seestar S50 se pueda hacer fotometría más o menos decente con un nivel de conocimiento muy amateur Son unas 3 horas de datos 430 frames de 20". S50 modo EQ Bortle 6,5 NINA aporta datos del transito SIRIL procesamiento, astrometria, fotometría y gráficos

My image of a nebula "Under Review"
For some reason, my image is "under review". I tried posting on the website and it hung and tried posting the image on my phone via the app. Some nebula can be scary but not sure why it is "under review". Here is the link to the post: https://www.astroimg.com/thread/288011 David

关于 ZWO App “自动更新”的说明 / Notice on ZWO App “Automatic Updates”
近期我们注意到，有部分用户反馈 ZWO App存在“自动更新”的情况。首先，非常感谢大家的关注与反馈，我们希望通过这篇文章，向大家详细说明实际情况，并帮助大家更好地理解 App 更新机制 的真实原理。Recently, we have noticed that some users reported that the ZWO App seems to “update automatically.”First of all, we sincerely appreciate your attention and feedback. Through this statement, we’d like to explain the actual situation in detail and help everyone better understand how the App update mechanism really works.一、开发者不会“自动更新”App / The Developer Does Not “Automatically Update” the App在我们每次发布新版本时，App内确实会提示有新版本可供更新，但这只是普通更新提示，并不会强制用户立即升级。因此，如果您发现App自动变成了新版本，那通常不是因为开发者“自动”更新，而是因为——Whenever we release a new version, the App may indeed display a notification that an update is available.However, this is merely a standard update reminder — it does not force users to upgrade immediately.Therefore, if you find that your App has updated automatically, it is not because the developer pushed an automatic update, but rather because ——二、自动更新是由应用商店控制 / Automatic Updates Are Controlled by the App Store无论您使用的是 Apple App Store（iOS） 还是 Google Play 商店（Android），它们都提供了“自动更新应用程序”的功能。在默认设置下，大多数设备都会开启这个选项，导致当我们发布新版本后，系统会在后台自动下载并安装更新。也就是说：“App自动更新” ≠ “开发者强制更新”，而是系统或应用商店在执行自动更新。Whether you’re using the Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android), both platforms include a feature called “Automatic App Updates.”By default, this feature is turned on for most devices, meaning that when we release a new version, the system may automatically download and install it in the background.In other words:“Automatic App Updates” ≠ “Developer-Enforced Updates.”It is the system or app store performing the automatic update.三、如果您希望手动决定是否更新 / How to Manually Control App Updates您可以根据以下步骤关闭自动更新功能：If you prefer to decide when to update the App yourself, you can disable automatic updates by following these steps:对于 iPhone / iPad 用户：1. 打开 设置 → App 找到 App Store 并点击进入；2. 找到 App更新 栏；3. 关闭App更新 开关。关闭后，App Store将不再自动为您更新应用，您可以在需要时手动进入App Store，选择是否更新我们的App。For iPhone / iPad Users:1. Open Settings → Scroll down and select App Store.2. Under Automatic Downloads, find App Updates.3. Turn App Updates off.After turning this off, the App Store will no longer automatically update your apps.You can manually visit the App Store anytime to decide whether to update our App.对于 Android 用户（Google Play 商店）：1. 打开 Google Play 商店；2. 点击右上角头像 → 进入 设置；3. 选择 网络偏好设置 → 自动更新应用；4. 将选项改为 不自动更新应用。完成设置后，您将完全自主决定是否下载和安装App的新版本。For Android Users (Google Play Store):1. Open the Google Play Store.2. Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner → Go to Settings.3. Select Network Preferences → Auto-update apps.4. Choose Don’t auto-update apps.Once this is done, you will have full control over whether to download and install new versions of the App.四、关于App内的固件升级 / About Firmware Updates Inside the App除了App版本更新外，ZWO App在连接设备时，可能会提示用户进行固件升级，这些固件升级的目的，是为了提升设备的稳定性、增加新功能，并确保设备能够与App保持最佳兼容。用户可以选择跳过，暂时不升级固件，App不会强制要求更新。但请注意，如果不进行固件升级，可能会出现App与设备之间的兼容性问题，或导致部分功能无法正常使用。因此，我们建议用户在方便的情况下及时完成固件升级，以获得最佳的使用体验和性能表现。In addition to App version updates, the ZWO App may prompt users to perform firmware updates when connecting to their devices.These firmware updates are designed to improve device stability, add new features, and ensure optimal compatibility between the App and the hardware.Users can choose to skip or postpone a firmware update, and the App will not force the update.However, please note that skipping firmware updates may result in compatibility issues or cause certain features to function improperly.Therefore, we recommend completing firmware updates whenever possible to maintain the best performance and user experience.五、我们更新的初衷 / Why We Release Updates每一次版本更新，都是为了：修复已知问题，提升App稳定性；优化体验，增加新功能；提高安全性，保障用户隐私。我们始终尊重用户的选择权，同时希望通过更好的版本，让您的使用体验持续提升。Each update we release aims to:1. Fix known issues and improve app stability;2. Optimize user experience and introduce new features;3. Enhance security and protect user privacy.We always respect your right to choose, while striving to continuously improve your overall experience with every new version.最后，再次感谢大家对我们的关注与支持，我们理解部分用户希望保持旧版本的习惯，因此我们也确保：更新的决定权始终在您手中。您的体验，是我们不断改进的方向。In Conclusion, We once again thank all users for your attention and continued support.We understand that some users prefer to stay on older versions, so please rest assured — the choice to update is always in your hands.Your experience is the direction that drives our constant improvement.

Could we have Video upload in groups please
Hi Astroimg team Could we please get the ability to upload videos in to groups please , like on our profile , only 5 seconds and under 25mb I think your limit is , would be amazing . If you read SWAG GROUP chats , we help each other out with , ideas, data and tutorials so we all get better and we have a laugh , at the moment one member @Maic is creating a astro comic about some of the members, and it processed into started turning his idea into small movies but have to post on profile so everyone can see ,instead of just when people click groups can see it , like if I post in group it doesn't show in new image uploads when you open app , only if you click groups you can see the thought / question etc , So that would be cool , pretty please :) Speaking about that , I have posted videos.on profile , but ive named them ASTROART , they are astro related but so cool ,but i posted a video of one of the scenes from the comic , of a member who's avatar is a female alien or my drops of Jupiter , so when I post them most people would think , what is he posting that , but the people in the swag group would understand, so if we could upload videos in group , it would stop the why would he post that . If you want me to stop with my ASTROART , just say and I won't upload .

Dear ZWO, some humble suggestions for improving the app
Hey, If you please take into consideration the following: - as sugested before, a @ for the whole Group, for anouncements purposes, for informing all the members about something and not @ all of them, individualy. - a way for the Group Creator to moderate the members. Right now people request to join, i approve and they become members but without me having the posibility to moderate the list. I cannot remove a member or something like this. - In Group posts the posibility to let us post videos also, small reels or something like that. - on some Thoughts / Questions posted you can't reply first with the posibility of adding a photo also. You just answer and then answer to your initial answer just for this purpose, to add a photo. - and on private messages on your profile, also please add the posibility to attach a photo if needed. We don't have this option. Thank you so much ! Maic

How do you remember which objects you've already recorded and published?
I mark them as favorites, so I know I want to record all those without a favorite. Additionaly maybe I create an excel sheet. But I dont know if its over engineering. What do you do?

Ability to Revise Images and another question?
I enjoy astroimg. On a couple of the other sites where I share my photos, there is the ability to revise images after posting. I wish there was the ability to do this in astroimg, as opposed to creating a new post.Also, why is there a minimum number of characters in a title? I’m often having to lengthen my title just to reach the 30 character minimum.

Is it just me or what is going on ???
Hey Is it just me or starting from yesterday the app is having issues of connection problems and it's so slow. Never happen to me this. It's not my network problem for sure, tried on different wi-fi, 4g, etc. Every other app that i have is working flawlessly.

Possible to keep SeeStar Outside Permanently? ?
Hello.... anyone have any off the shelf products or even home made ... to enclose the SeeStar and protect it from the outdoor elements year round through snow and heat? Would love to hear what others are doing. Sort of like a mini observatory?
