Good job

You got some luck that one m20 thats a good one

hello why it doesn't update in the official update in the official application on play store? i try to download it an it says dangerous files ? and it also say the application update from play store this firmware could affect the next update! so what do you think about it ?

Very informative video. Thank you.

Great video! I am very tempted to get one directly from Seestar and at their special price it is even more of a bargain.

Thank you.

Awesome! Thank you, will be trying this with my Seestar tonight if the weather holds!

Amazing you've done a great job explaining how to edit it.

I am a new student for Astrometry. Very useful video. Looking for next. Can we use seestar's stacking to do stitching? All those complicate program like PS take too much time to learn and use. Can I use ASTAP to do simple stitching?

The Seestar is an impressive instrument.

I just ordered one with the easy leveler. Expect it on wendsday. Do you know how much can be stored with 64gig? Thanks

Do you know an alternative to Photoshop for merging? I use ON1 only, but unsure if it will be able to do this.

Since the new firmware update, it screws up the filter button. It doesn't turn on automatically for nebulas like it used to and it turns on for galaxies. You have to stop the enhancing and turn it on manually or disconnect it manually for galaxies.

In my case Seestar app was updated via Google Play store automatically 2 weeks ago.

The latest update causes Seestar to never change the filter selection, just leaving it in the last used position. I rename the sub folder in between each panel recording to M31 Panel 1, M31 Panel 2, etc. Then when you start the next panel, Seestar will create a new sub folder called M31 sub. Likewise, when I'm finished with that panel, I'll rename it PRIOR to starting the next panel. I also do this for any "unknown" target because all unknown targets gets thrown into the same "unknown" sub folder. You can rename the sub folders by using a file manager on your phone or computer. Just connect the file manager to the Seestar, find the sub folder you want to rename, and change the name to anything you want. However, only do this once you're finished with that panel or target. If you change the name while Seestar is currently recording and saving subs, it will just create a new sub folder on the very next saved sub. Then when my night is over and I download my work, all the subs are already organized into their own appropriately named folder, no searching and sorting of files needed.

I just ordered my Seestar and will be here shortly. And I would love to see how you processed a Mosaic. And I saw a video where someone in the know. Said it is best to always use the filter on all DSO not just nebulas. I will test this when I receive my Seestar.

Where is your video processing M31 in Mosiac mode with photoshop?

I’ve had my Seestar for about 3 weeks I’ll be following along with the progress

Cool idea. I was thinking about that this is the only feature I miss when comparing with the Vaonis Telescope. Hopefuly they will add this by an software update later directly to the firmware or app.

Thanks for this Greg! I saw the link for this video on the FB group and subscribed because the content you put out is awesome!! I was going to give up on doing a mosaic until I saw this post and I’m really looking forward to the next video on HOW to process it 😀 Greatly appreciate the work your doing!

2:01 correct for galaxys you don’t wanna use the LP (light pollution) filter(s)

The Seestar cannot rely on plate solving to find the moon. It must have an accurate level and compass. However, even compass calibration doesn’t always work because of minor local variations in magnetic declination (offset from true north) called magnetic deviation. In my particular location my local deviation is almost 5 degrees east of the regional declination of 14 degrees. Local Deviation can be caused by a number of things like powerlines, mineral deposits, or living next-door to Magneto. I never had any luck finding the moon and had to manually bring it to center. An alternative that others have reported and I have yet to attempt is to first use stargazing mode with horizontal calibration turned on and search for a guide star like Vega or Capella. Once it has figured out where it is, slew to the moon and switch to lunar mode. If the clouds ever clear I plan to give it a try. Of course that won’t help for daytime observations but it’s a start.

Great video and thanks for sharing. REALLY like to know how to stitch it together. Make it so even I understand it! 😂

We don't have control over the ir filter so i'm pretty sure you had the polution filter enabled wich is not useful for galaxies .Nice video wich give me ideas 🙂

I have my seestar since 2 weeks end app version 2.0.0 from Play Store?

I calibrate and level everytime. Never, I mean never had an issue finding the moon or sun. Maybe 25+ times. Calibrate, calibrate, calibrate, calibrate, calibrate. Read, no short cuts then complain.

Where are you located? Is there minimal light pollution? I'm asking because the image quality in your video is incredibly clear and detailed, especially in the first few minutes. I’m using the same Seestar camera, but I’m not capturing nearly as much of the nebula. Your shot is stunning! I’m wondering if the lack of light pollution is giving you an advantage.

My seestar never locates the moon first time and it never has

Good images. Helpful

Also, in case anyone is interested, MOON gotos still don't work as expected. Which means when you try to goto the moon, it doesn't work flawlessly like a goto to any other object. It will ask if the moon is centered while the moon is nowhere near the screen.

Been reading lots of people having issues on Android based setups. Any issues that you’ve noticed? My version on iOS has been working quite well. A few things I don’t care for, but minor annoyances.

Still no mosaic unfortunately, but for the money it's still a great little scope.

I've been using the Sestar since Mid Nov'2023. I don't pay attention to the direction I have it pointed. I typically do a compass calibration if the Seestar says to and let it do its thing. It works. for the unit I have. Also if you have one of those revelers, those are a huge benefit, but after some use you need to place the whole thing on a level service and put the levers to neutralize or have it center.

My word! The detail that appears right before your eyes. I’m ordering one of these next month for myself. Awesome…just plain awesome. Thanks for sharing. Clear skies.

Good video I'm in UK - weathers been sucking for nearly 3 months but looking good for our 2 week vacation where it's dark skies and if clear I can get a full panorama rather than my limited view at home

Plz loose the music

Heyo, just out of curiosity. I've been attempting to use my seestar the way you do here. However, when I get to the part where you press the red button and it starts "Enhancing", it keeps moving? Like the stars will shoot up north, or shoot down, or just keep drifting. The device is calibrated and all, so I'm not sure what the heck is happening. Your advice would be highly appreciated, and your vids have definitely helped me out a lot so far!! Thanks!!

Why would you suggest turning off the horizontal calibration? It only takes a minute or two and greatly improves the tracking accuracy.

If you want to process your images, use Siril. It will register the images, align the stars for you so when you stack them, the image looks fantastic. There are some really cool tools that come with Siril you can apply as well to improve it even more.

Thank you very much this really helped me I really appreciate the straightforward video and it gets right to the point!!!

Fun watching an experienced amateur having so much fun with the Seestar.

Great timing on this video and thanks! I was photographing the East Veil last night and noticed the SS was cutting off the bottom of the nebula. I tried to manually recenter it without success. Now, I know how to recenter it using easy the method you showed. I just have to wait for a clear night now which won't be until next week.

Cool video. I love my Seestar. It's awesome! I stack the .jpg files in Siril and they always turn out great. When I tried to stack the .fits files, it was different in appearance, but seem less colorful and sort of smudged.

It's 1:30 EST and I just shut down my captures of the dumbbell nebula and NGC6992. I also have the Seestar, bought it in Jan. She is my first. So much fun. I've also learned to adjust the field of view. Clear sky's.

What telescope is this?

I've have also bought an upgraded mount, as im 6'5" that stubby mount was just not going to cut it. I also have the try wheel leveler, and it works fantastic. I get about 5 hrs of battery time on it, so ill be looking at getting a support for that, but so far its a great little unit. Clear skys bud

I'm amazed every time I use my Seestar. I enjoyed your video. Succinct and to the point.

Is the final image the raw image? Also what Bortle is this?

At last, someone not using these unnecessary Neweer levelers! If the table is level, you're good to go! Just make sure the table is not metal as in can interfere with the SS sensors. One word of advice, don't rely on the handles of the case, some post i read on FB, the handles straps fell off and the case with SS inside went crashing to the floor. There was a picture that showed the incident.

I’ve had troubles with this very thing. Thankfully, the website was pretty quick responding with a solution. I turned off the horizontal calibration, calibrated the compass by spinning the telescope, leveled the scope with the green circles, and that seemed to fix the problem
