    SEESTAR S50

    Posted by William LeGrow on March 15, 2025

    This is by far improved my astrophotography experiences in just a few nights! I have spent too many nights dragging my avx mount, battery pack/power supply, computer, camera and scope out to do astrophotography away from washed out skies in Toronto... Part of the problem was finding a reliable "safe" space to set up my equipment and then get a couple hours of exposure - IF I didn't forget anything at home... sigh. That is no longer an issue with this scope! I don't have to to anywhere - and, even better - it works flawlessly even in reduced area of visible sky! (a lot of trees affecting my setups at this house, so it makes setting up a major nightmare). The day I received mine, I charged it, loaded the app, updated the firmware and when it got dark I took it outside (I'm right beside the 401 - so lots of light pollution here), and turned it on and told it to image Orion Nebula and M1... OMG - amazing results on both! Better than I ever got on my setups, but I am also using a Modified DSLR on my scope... so, it would likely be much better on a dedicated new astrophotography camera. But, since I travel a fair bit, I wanted something to take with me and give me a chance to get some images while I was away from the sky here in TO - and is the perfect size/weight for air transport as well! This is definitely going to be my go to for imaging while housed in my constricted sky zone. It also does well at Solar observing and scenery/timelapse! This is well worth the price. Other uses? Star Party live cam, webcasting live stacking, public events.

    Amazing. Is is worth the money paid? Definitely. Well made and for the time being nothing on the market beats it.

    Very impressive little scope!

    I ordered this unit after seeing a lot of the images being posted online. While it is never going to compare to a full astrophotography rig what you do get for the price is VERY impressive. Its also extremely user friendly. As always Ontario Telescope did a great job getting it to me in a timely manner.

    As a beginner or well-seasoned astronomer the Seestar S50 is an amazing platform to explore deep space objects, the moon and sun.
