Why does my seestar s50 keep doing this?
So i put my seestar s50 on my roof all the time to take photos of the sky but as of recently it's just started to drift down or up causing either the image to have double stars or get discarded , I have not been able to take photos of anything besides planets due to this and it's extremely frustrating , I sometimes get results like ; 2 Stacked 100 Discarded

What is the optimal setup comet capture?
I'm planning to try another capture of C/2024 E1 (Wierzchoś) tonight. What is the best setup for my Seestar S50 to capture this.

Question about the inverted color view
Is this view used for something specific or just for the cool factor?

Dark Halo/Spots with SeeStar S30 Pro
Hi everyone, I wanted to report an issue I ran into with my SeeStar S30 Pro. After a pre-order that arrived on February 13, 2026, I set it up in EQ mode for first light intending to capture the Heart Nebula and Rosette Nebula. The initial alignment and focus looked perfect with crisp stars and no dust or dew on the lens. However, when I processed the images the next morning, I noticed distinct black spots throughout, especially in the halos of bright stars. As I ran a starless removal, these spots became even more prominent. Does anyone know if this might be a sensor defect, or could it be something in SeeStar imaging processing software (or even a calibration issue)? I’d really appreciate some insight before I troubleshoot further. Thanks in advance! I attached a few images for reference. Heart Nebula, 2.5hrs x 30sec; Rosette Nebula, 38min x 30sec;

Was the S30 Pro a good decision?
I already have the S50 as a smart telescope, an Omegon Advanced with Bresser GoTo mount and DSLR camera (Galaxy and Planetary), a Nikon D7000 with Skywatcher tracking mount (for Milky Way photography) and a Redcat 51 with an AM5 and a ZWO Asi2600 MM Pro Mono (for Nebulae). Now I've added the S30 Pro to my "arsenal" (as a second "toy" alongside the S50). Was that a good choice?

Dismal star gazing conditions in the U.K.
Just on here to have a moan about how terrible the weather has been in the U.K. where I live at the moment, endless cloud and rain every day with no end in sight. My S50 is starting to gather dust, I have no hope for any of the events on the 20th or 28th of this month.

SSLM - SeeStar Library Manager
HiMy seestar library was becoming to big and taking to much time to manage manually so i created a small tool, SSLM, which allow the below (Readme file) and also posted some screenshot after.Still experimental but worked well in a local copy of my seestar library. Very useful to clean up and prepare exports for Pixinsight or SirilIf some of you are interested, i have a github repo for it and can give you access.ClearskyAstronoobSSLM - SeeStar Library Manager🔭 A local web application for managing astrophotography files from SeeStar telescope devices.SSLM (SeeStar Library Manager) helps you organize, analyze, and maintain your astrophotography library with an intuitive web-based dashboard.✨ Features📊 Interactive DashboardCollection Statistics: View total objects, file counts, storage usage, and date ranges at a glanceSidebar Navigation: Quick access to all dashboard sections (Summary, File Types, Catalogs, Objects)Catalog Breakdown: See your collection organized by astronomical catalogs (Messier, NGC, IC, SH)File Type Analysis: Detailed breakdown of .FIT files, JPGs, thumbnails, and videosSearch & Filter: Quickly find objects by name or catalog🎯 Object ManagementDetailed Object View: Complete information for each celestial objectSub-Frame Detection: Automatically identifies objects with sub-frame directoriesIntegration Time Tracking: View total integration time per objectSub-Frame Statistics: See breakdown of .fit files vs other files in sub-frame folders🧹 Cleanup & OptimizationEmpty Directory Cleanup: Identify and delete empty directories safelySub-Frame Optimization: Remove unnecessary JPG and thumbnail files from sub-frame foldersGlobal cleanup: Clean all sub-frame directories at onceIndividual cleanup: Clean specific objects with a single clickSafe operation: Your .fit files are never touchedStorage Savings: Track freed space after cleanup operations📥 Import & OrganizationImport from SeeStar: Copy files from connected SeeStar deviceRemovable drive support (E:, F:, etc.)Network path support (\seestar)Work with Local Copies: Manage existing local astrophotography collectionsSmart File Detection: Automatically recognizes SeeStar file structureMain object directoriesSub-frame directories (_sub folders)Mosaic captures🌐 Mode SupportOffline Mode (default): Full functionality without internet connectionOnline Mode: Additional features when internet is availableSettings Management: Configure default import strategy and operating modeScreenshot 1Screenshot 2

Has anyone else observed the Seestar is not able anymore to take images for a mosaic in EQ mode?
So far I noticed already twice that my Seestar stopped taking images for a mosaic of the Flaming Star nebula. It worked well for about 40 minutes, after that all images were refused with the error message referring to startrails. It was around zero degrees, the Seestar was set up for EQ mode. In those nights the Flaming Star nebula was above 65 degrees and unobstructed. No clouds as well. When I switched to other targets the same night without changing my setup everything worked as expected. I wonder now whether it is an issue with the Seestars motors in the cold when trying to shoot targets above 65 degrees? Has anyone else observed something like this?

Looking for option to set and change exposure duration in plan mode?
Hi. i am looking for the option to change the exposure duration per target in plan mode. For example, first target 10s then second one 20s etc etc? is there such a thing? Do not even see how to set it for the first one :( I can not find it :( thank you

This is already a cry from the heart!
I don't understand what's going on. With absolutely clear skies and no wind, the telescope can't create the stacks of objects that the filter is used for. It spins for 10 minutes, and in that time, it only accumulates 10 seconds. This is the third object it's refused to photograph this evening. I'm extremely outraged, because there are no objective reasons for this behavior.
