how do I fix large amounts of dropped frames?
My seestar seems to drop almost every 3rd frame, which makes everything take twice as long. If I put it out for an hour, ill only get maybe 20-30 minutes of data if im lucky. Is there a way to fix this so its not dropping so many so often?

Any tips for shooting M81, M106, or M109, because I can't seem to get any definition on any of them?
Any tips for shooting M81, M106, or M109, because I can't seem to get any definition on any of them even after repeated sessions and stacking. Do I just need to let it go longer? Thanks in advance!

Remember to look up at the stars
"Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don't just give up." - Stephen Hawking

3D Accessories for Seestar S50 : Download, Print, Share!
Hello everyone! As promised, at the bottom of the article you'll find two links to download the STL files for the Seestar S50 accessories. The long linkcorresponds to my drive, and the short link leads to the same place, but with a shortened URL. As I said in my first post, these files are royalty-free: you can print them for your own use, and even sell the printed parts to people whodon't own a 3D printer. The aim is to help each other, not to make a business out of it. The main directory of my drive, entitled “ZWO Seestar S50”, contains 7 sub-directories. In each of them, you'll find 3 files:- An .stl file, for use with cutting software (e.g. PrusaSlicer).- An .obj file (text format describing the geometry of a 3D object: vertices, edges, faces), compatible with software such as Blender (free), Autodesk Maya (paid) or SketchUp, among others. - A screenshot showing the appearance of the STL file. List of available accessories:- Cylindrical light protection tube- Star refraction 6 tips- Star refraction 4 tips- Star refraction 3 tips- Conical light protection- Bahtinov mask- Lens cap For printing, I used a Prusa MK4S, with a layer height of 0.15 mm, and PLA filament. Here are the two links to the stl files: Link 1:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1uZj6tMKM9m2EoekVSPNTEdk_TxhNYIdw?usp=sharing Link 2: https://shorturl.at/S76pt I also have other models, allowing the use of 2" filters to be mounted on a filter holder and an anti-light tube. However, as I don't own any2" filters, I can't guarantee compatibility.If anyone is interested, I can create a “proto” directory on my drive to share these files as they stand. Happy printing, and good evenings under the stars! LaTana06

S30 not working now after Adding EA mode
Using my S30, I am experiencing start rails and dropped pictures. I did not have this problem until I tried using EQ mode. Even 10 second exposures cannot find object. Can Antonine help solve my problem?

How do I upload a single GIF of two Pluto images I made with my Seestar S50? When I click the + sign to add an image, the desired GIF is not an option to choose?
Here is the GIF from my image storage site: Pluto GIF

anyone know a program for skymap?
I dont know if this exists but does anyone knows if there is a program (easy to use) where you can put all your pictures on a skymap, with stars as base and all names of galaxies, planets,... And you just have to insert images. Would be cool to visualise all shots taken on a skymap

3D Accessories for the ZWO Seestar S50 – STL Files Available
Hello everyone, I’d like to share with you some 3D designs for accessories made specifically for the ZWO Seestar S50 telescope. These models were created using the Tinkercad software, and the original source files are publicly accessible on their website. I’m considering making the STL files available so that anyone interested can 3D print them. I could upload a full set to a shared drive if there’s interest. If this sounds useful to you, please let me know. I’d be happy to share the files and provide more details. Best regards,Joël Latana06

Is live stacking on the Seestar S50 necessary?
When I try mosaic mode on the Seestar S50 it takes a lot of time due to the dropped frames (trails) and the live stacking. Even in EQ mode. Would it be an option to turn off the live stacking and have the subs stacked afterwards in the Seestar app or in Siril?

deep sky stacking gives me strange results?
Hello As you can see in the screenshots below I do indeed have several images of ic5070 that I saved on my seestar s30 using the "save each frame on" feature so I then stacked them using the feature but this gave me a rather incomprehensible result I do not see the celestial object appear at any time but just a few stars can you tell me why this is happening? My basic ic5070 photos (the last one is the stacking that failed, yet he filled the photos for 30 minutes ) all my ic5070 photos that I have thanks to the backup feature of all photos; (the results of the stacking: ) My basic photo of IC 5070 after 73 min : #Seestar S30# #deepskystock#

iC 4604...? Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex?
Hi everyone...can you detect the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex with the seestar s50?...IC 4604...I don't know why the seestar doesn't center the target after having identified it, nearby M4 it detects it immediately...has anyone else had the same experience?
