Hi Martin, Thank you for the informative video. What is the black carry case you are using for the mount?

This is the best explaining video on RUclips. Thanks for that.

The motor bearing clearance in this product should be enough to say NO to this product, it's excessive

I feel like Neo learning Kung Fu. Thank you so much for this Martin!

Best tutorial on the internet by far! Thank you!

Only a pro can do this, thank you very much.

Great tutorial, well done!

Yours is not USB C? The one I was just sent is.

A mount doesn't need to be LEVEL !

I have a question: on the polar alignment part, you say that you adjust the orientation of the mount via the manual alt-azimuth bolts etc. But am I correct in thinking that the range of adjustment is very limited ie. you have to make sure that your initial tripod set up with the black bolt sticking up better be pretty much exactly pointing to Polaris? I quickly realised that you can only adjust this variable a tiny amount before you run out of wiggle room. BTW, I have an AZ-EQ6, but I think it's comparable for this aspect of the set-up. Thanks again.

Martin, an excellent review. Have you had a chance to compare the S50 with the S30 yet? Is one better than the other for certain celestial objects?

Thanks for making such a great tutorial.

Sadly it's 450$ in Europe now

Fantastic video. Thanks. You saved me (from myself)!

Fantasic video.. Thank you so much

I've been looking for an adapter I watched this video used your code and ordered it. All the others I've looked at just don't appear to be as well made. I read the reviews and decided to go with it.

Seems like is sucks ! ZWO owns everything!

Can someone explain what the RA reticle is used for? This the ring that is at the end of the telescope tube where the polar scope gets attached to. When I turn this ring, neither the focus nor the image inside the polar scope changes. I am confused what its purpose is. The removal of it is shown at time stamp 1:00:55

Excellent review, mate!

so just to put some context in and fit this in to the whole workflow. You would polar align the mount first, then do a 2 or 3 star alignment, then slew to whatever you want to look at, then go into PHD2 and do this?

Hi, great video. I have a problem with my s30. In initialisation progress it starts at 20% then jumps to 40% and then says horizontal calibration failed. Sometimes it skips the calibration and starts the 10 second timer but will not stack the photos? I have manually adjusted the seestar to within 1.0 but still no luck. Any ideas? Thanks

thank you!

Good morning, I hope you can help me with the following question: Can the Seestar S50 tripod be used on the Seestar S30? Thank you

What happens if you limit movement to 180 degrees and you choose a target in NINA with a greater rotation angle? Does it automatically subtract 180? Thanks!

Grazie per il tuo tutorial. Mi è stato molto utile.

I would say the best tutorial for this telescope I’ve seen! Excellent.

Great info and exactly what I needed! I just got my Skyguider Pro for Christmas, anxious to get out and get started once I get a tripod to hold it! I've been doing planetary with my Newtonian and lucky imaging, I'm looking forward to deep sky stacking now and doing Milky Way imaging in my Bortle 2 skies. :)

Thanks for the tip, one thing wasn’t clear when switching to telephoto lens. What did you push.

Excellent review and commentary ... thanks ... I wonder what the 50 is like ??

Nice product, but looks like its around £300, nearly double the price of an EAF 😥

Sadly the popularity of ZWO‘s ASIair and its ZWO equipment only policy is crushing competition and small innovative companies like this one. I too don’t like it and use a Quieter3 along with NINA. It saddens me that people aren’t willing to put in the tiny amount of extra effort required to set up a mini computer and give themselves so much more flexibility. Nice video with clear explanation and instructions. Thanks.

Hi Martin, great review. I wonder if there is a fitting for a smaller scope such as c6. They list one company as a uk distributor but their search says product not found. Actually zwo products are pushed to the exclusion of all else. Not very good for competitors.

Looks like a well thought out product... Might reach out to them, to see if they do a kit for meade's SCTs

Thank you for the review. Will this work with an ASIair, or do you need to use NINA?

Great setup...but for the folks with the 7x36mm ZWO EFW, the window on the EFW is 42mm...going to need a M48 or M54 to M42 to get that thing to mate up.

Excellent presentation!

Is it not possible to mount the rotator between a filter wheel and camera?

very useful! Thanks

Thanks for an excellent introduction to the S30 . I have placed an order for the S30 with ZWO and hope the wait isn't too long. :-) I shall certainly return here to remind myself how to set thing up.

Thanks for this. this covers all the technical info I needed.

Also I would expect after you thread the ZWO CAA to the filter wheel and it not where you want it you can power the CAA and use the EAF hand controller to move the CAA where you want it and then 0 it out as due to balance may want the CAA to the side or top? Best video on the CAA I a have seen! Also what I would do is draw a Silver Sharpie line on the filter wheel so I knew it's set at 90 degrees to the CAA?

The thinking for the HBX port is using the EAF hand controller! VERY NICE feature.

It will be interesting to see how it works with the ASI Air combined with a hub for USB connectivity as I've no spare ports left.

Is it possible to gradually counter field rotation of an alt az mount? I suppose this setup could cause guiding difficulties, though.

A very informative and hands-on video as always! I am a beginner in astrophotography and I also waited the release of the CAA. I was wondering... is there any chance that it would work as a camera derotator? I saw the ascom settings and I can imagine that it doesnt at the moment of filming, but also I noticed that the last step in the positioning is a quite precise and slow motion so maybe it's not such a hard task in the future... do you have any knowledge about this? thank you for your time.

Good video. Thanks for taking the time to make it Martin.

Another nice thing from ZWO, just pity that 54mm is the maximum though

Thanks for the review Martin! From what I heard so far, you cannot mount the rotator in reverse direction. Meaning that the filterwheel does not move. Just the camera. I would be worried if thef would be moving inwards to the pier / tripod and then hit it around the meridian.

I have had a wanderer rotator for 2 years. I didn't have the patience to wait for ZWO. The wanderer mini has the advantage of being only 10mm thick. One thing I always do is run the rotator backwards. I prefer to have the smaller rotator going around than the massive EFW. Less chance of wires tangling or pier collision that way.

Thanks, Interesting video. Is there any affect on Guiding performance due to the induced imbalance caused by the rotation of filter wheel ?
