I've had the S50 for about 45 days. I love it ! It doesn't replace my normal telescopes but it's a load of fun. I'll probably skip the S30 and wait for maybe a more powerful setup. Thx for the informative video !

Thanks for the in-depth comparison. I was hoping I could use this for some planetary observing as well, but it sounds like neither is going to handle that very well. Everything else has me leaning towards the S30.

Fantastic video, just what I was hoping to learn. Can you talk more about the S30 not being able to take Milky Way photos? I was hoping to take longer exposure tracking photos which used the summer Milky Way as a subject. thank you!

[bobcarn]

That was a nice comparison. I have the S50. I'm hoping they can do things with software updates to give it the auto-leveling compensation of the S30. I do a better job of leveling it now (I bought a device that lets me fine-tune the leveling), but it still would be nice to not have to worry about it so much.

Looks like they just released the new noise reduction feature.. I don't see any toggle or control on the app.

What is you opinion on the Dwarf 3 vs the s30

[stuffybroz]

i bought an S30 as my first beginner smart telescope. is it worth the purchase?

[tma]

Are they going to add a night plan schedule mode ? I'm surprised it isn't standard already as they also make the ASIAir.

[ChiragGohil]

Thanks great Comparisions, can Planetary photography better with future update on S30 ?

[matsfrommusic]

If you want to buy a non Chinese smart telescope, are there any comparable options on the market?

[happyfeet]

Great review ! I am planning to buy my first smart telescope. I understand that the S30 wide angle lens can’t be used to take a picture of the Milky Way like the Dwarf 3 can. Is this correct? However, can I use the S30 in Mosaic Mode or take several pictures and stitch them together using a different software to get a picture of the full Milky Way. Please let me know so that I can make up my decision whether to buy the S30 or D3, although there is a price difference.

I am looking to get one of these, however I am unsure about the app. My smart phone is a Samsung Galaxy A12 with 4 GB of memory does anyone know if this would work? I did try and contact the manufacturer but no reply.

[SKANDaR]

If you had to keep only one which one would keep?

[AndoRE]

I really hope they allow Milky Way photography with the wide angle. It will be the complete packing and a 1Up on the dwarf 3.

I was gonna wait for s30 but i got a s50 for 389. Open box

[zygmuntziokowski]

Thanks for the video, I have 6" SCT and what kind of camera you use to get that shoot of the Jupiter? Thanks!

[davidaaaa]

None of these are right for me. I ordered a Dwarf Smart 3. Tried a Seestar and it would not work on my wi fi, so I sent it back.

[IndianaStones]

I rather would have seen a bigger version 30/50 are really the absolute limit for deepsky. Actually i would say its a no go. The software must be a miracle worker.

[BigSmokeGtaSA]

Is Seestar S30 good for observing faint comets like seestar s50 ? or s50 is better ?

[cleverpete]

I’m sure they don’t have the same pixel size ?
