FAQ
How does Seestar S50 differ from traditional astrophotography?
Seestar S50 is an entry-level intelligent astronomical telescope that sets itself apart from other entry-level telescopes by allowing users to “see” various deep space celestial objects through photography. Compared with traditional astrophotography equipment, Seestar S50 has a higher level of integration and intelligence. It integrates a motion tracking motor, electric focuser, electric filter wheel, high-sensitivity image sensor, and intelligent controller. It can automatically find and photograph any target in its star database, and help the user get more and more clear images with the method of image stack and enhancement. However, due to its highly integrated design and lightweight body, it may not meet the requirements for “serious astrophotography”.
What are the dimensions of Seestar S50?
S50 Size(mm): 142.5*130*257EPP Case(mm): 320*160*310Paper Packing Case(mm): 332*168*334
What can Seestar S50 shoot?
- Stargaze Mode: Photographs deep sky objects.
- Scenery Mode: Equal to a 1750mm ultra-telephoto optical prime lens. Can photograph landscapes or animals.
- Solar Mode: Photographs the sun. Solar tracking will be turned on automatically.
- Lunar Mode: Photographs the moon. Lunar tracking will be turned on automatically.
How about the lens stop and focal length of Seestar S50?
Seestar S50 is a triplet APO (including one piece of ED glass) with excellent control of chromatic aberration. Focal ratio F5. Focal length 250mm. The imaging performance is as good as a professional refractor of the same aperture.
What filters are built into Seestar S50?
Seestar S50 is equipped with three built-in filters: UV/IR Cut filter, dark filter, and dual-band anti-light pollution filter (OIII 30nm/Hα 20nm). The switching of the dark filter is automatically controlled by Seestar. As for the UV/IR Cut filter and light pollution filter, users can switch between them in the app based on their own needs.
Can Seestar S50 shoot any objects in deep space?
With its built-in anti-light pollution filter and good enough atmospheric transparency, Seestar S50 is able to shoot deep-sky objects even in city.However, if we want to get good enough results, we still need to go to a dark site. We define the degree of light pollution into different levels. The larger the number is, the heavier the light pollution is. ZWO provides simple photos under different levels of light pollution after testing. We can compare them by ourselves. Also, don’t forget that the moon is the biggest light pollution source at night, we must avoid such a time period as the full moon.
Which type of shooting files saved? What is the resolution?
The format of shooting files are JPEG and FITS with 1080*1920 resolution.
How long is the battery capacity and battery life of Seestar S50?
Seestar S50 battery has a rated capacity of 6000mAh, and the battery life verified by ZWO laboratory is about 6 hours.Tips: in actual use, the battery life performance will be different due to the difference in ambient temperature, operation process, and shooting target, especially after the fog removal function is turned on, the battery life will be significantly shortened.

The Seestar is like a Mario game, I like it. You can use it the easy way or you can use the hard way by taking the RAW data to process yourself. The easy mode – live stacking is fine, it’s seems good for public outreach. The hard mode, I’ve been astounded by what the community can create with this. I’m still waiting for clear sky to do the first astronomical light.
One critic is that, I’d like to see and buy smaller shell box that only fit the telescope. The tripod can be put in soft bag, or you move on to a way taller one. The current size of the box is a bit too big for a road trip on motorbike. Fortunately I got a messenger bag that barely fits the case.
