[nazzify]

People can say what they want about the seestar but its honestly the only scope ive ever owned that has impressed people with no knowledge of astronomy, and its even gotten some of my friends more interested that otherwise would have no idea its even possible to see things like this in the night sky.

[treystephens]

The Seestar is just proof that prices are being artificially inflated. The Seestar is as capable, if not more so than the Unistellar, yet the price is so much more affordable. Cheers to Seestar for being honest and making a quality product for a reasonable price.

[James_Ford]

Makes you wonder if Unistellar is paying for 5 star reviews, and if that's the case the review outlets themselves should be in question as well

[pedalajones]

I've owned a Dwarf 2 since Christmas. Paid less than 500 euros. Fantastic product that gave me the pleasure of "traveling" in the cosmos! The emotion I felt photographing comet 12P/Pons-Brooks was pure magic. I can never thank Dwarflab enough for creating a product accessible to all star lovers. The Seestar is certainly an excellent product but in Italy it costs 769 euros!!! So at least in my country Dwarf 2 wins the price/quality award!

[blutey]

Please do a video of your editing process for the S50.

[henribuhagiar]

Great review. I have been into amateur astronomy now for the last 40 years. Have seen major changes in this period. The Seestar is a paradigm shift in amateur photography, and its price is available to all people who may have an interest in the night sky, which is a good thing. My Astro rig can take up, to 1 hour to setup, collimate, let the mirror acclimate and hole it doesn’t cloud over. SeeStar lets me setup in under 5 minutes and easy to move.

[madcow]

Thanks so much for this video. The Dwarf 3 is about to come out with improvements focused on image quality. I'll wait for reviews to see how it compares to the S50 before deciding on which one to purchase.

[carolsantulis]

Because of it's low price point, many people are experimenting with it: mosaics, putting it on an EQ wedge, writing scrips for plan shooting. While the beginners are having fun with it, the experienced astrophotographers and hackers are pushing the Seestar to its limits. Fun for all! If I only have one or two hours of clear skies, I don't take out my big rig, I take out the Seestar.

[newby]

Seestar looks great, wasn't readily available in my area so I went for the Dwarflab. So far I'm more than happy with it and it suits my needs perfectly.

[JosephCambre-byxw]

I bought the Seestar S50 on pre order and it only cost me 405 from high point. It has been a wonderful telescope and I have taken tons of great images with it. I love your videos, keep up the good work!

[AlmightyAddman]

Great video as always Damon thank you. I recently got an s50 and although I am really impressed with its performance i have not achieved images as beautiful as yourself. If you were considering future video ideas can i suggest one on editing? What software do you use, which edits are needed, what bortle skies do you shoot from etc.

[pdk]

I've had my Seestar S50 since November and love it, but had frustratingly few opportunities to use it because of the weather in the UK this winter. I still need to learn how to process the images to get them looking as good as yours.

[forestntt]

I decided to get the Seestar S50 after careful consideration and much research. I have not been disappointed. What a fantastic bit of kit. And ZWO are still upgrading the firmware and capability, so it will only get better. Could not recommend more.

[mickynufc]

Im a UK Veteran and always loved anything to do with space. Ive never done anything to do with space apart from my own interest and in some of the places i have served around the world i have seen the milky way etc with the naked eye in very remote places and its amazing to see. I was fortunate to purchase S50 in the last year and it was amazing to see what it could capture. The UK has been horrible over the past year for weather but when it allowed me and my kids have loved it

[davidwebb]

The Dwarf 3 is now available for pre-order with deliveries scheduled for, I believe, September 2024. It looks like it has a number of improvements over the Dwarf 2 including a better sensor and slightly larger aperture. It also supports equatorial mode with a much longer exposure time. Of course until people get their hands on it and carry out some comparisons it won't be possible to say whether this new version knocks the Seestar from its perch.

[CowboyButler]

[Damon, thank you for an awesome analysis!]

The S50, as a standalone device is definitely at the top of the purchase list. Except - the sensor. 2MP is anemic. Yes, I realize MP isn't everything. To compensate, it needs to be a larger sensor to accommodate those increased MPs, hence a change in optics, focals, lenses, etc. But those technicals notwithstanding... and my initial hesitation.

Damon - but, you questioned the company on if they were planning on an (S100) upgraded [version 2] scope. As you stated for their response, the company is perhaps still catching up to whatever backlog in manufacturing and aren't considering an update/V2.

Physical manufacturing doesn't impede engineering of, or even the thought of, an updated Version 2. But they shut the thought down; and that concerns my pocketbook for long-term viability of a product line.

I look for long term viability of a product and supporting company, not one that is resting on its laurels. Even at double $/€/£ for an "S100" compared to the existing S50; it's not about the money, it's the long term outlook of a company in support of a product line.

LOVE the standalone/S50, not comfortable with the company reaction. Hopefully they will change their outlook.

[dirostudios]

Thanks for your great review. I'm a newbie to astronomy and recently purchased a Seestar 3 months ago. I am very happy with the product and it's results. My family and friends are totally impressed with the beautiful pictures of the cosmos I have been able to produce from Palm Springs California. I especially like the aspect where I can link the Seestar to my iPad and operate it from my car or inside my home. I can set the target, my timer i.e. 1 hour and enjoy a nap while Seestar handles the heavy work and delivers the final pictures to my iPad. It was the best $499 I ever spent. Viva Seestar.

[jameskirk]

I still prefer my 6” APO for the incredible performance it puts out. But I find that while I run it I always set up the Seestar S50. I love how small it is. I can take it with me places that I could not take my 6” APO, especially quick road trips where space is a premium. After I got a fantastic image of the Witch Head nebula I began to use it all the time. I would love to see a future iteration of this with a larger aperture like 80mm with a larger sensor that rotates.

[nikaxstrophotography]

The seestar is an excellent beginners setup due to its simplicity, You will learn a lot about the stars and planets and how to set up and it's a great intro into Astrophotography. HOWEVER don't expect awesome images, yes they will look great on instagram but you are very limited with what you can do with it.
1: it is not an eq mounted device which means horrible field rotation as you use it during the night
2: the image quality is Meh compared to what you can do with a better scope, a cooled camera and an equatorial mount (obviously they do cost money)
3: If one thing breaks on it then you dead in the water. It is more or less a paperweight whereas with a dedicated Astro setup you can chop and change, the sky is the limit.
4: resale value will plummet as soon as the next incarnation comes in. Whereas you don't lose as much in resale for dedicated equipment
Don't let what I said put you off however as I still think it's great for beginners and such a great learning tool for outreach, schools and for those days when a more seasoned astrophotographer just can't be bothered setting up or is traveling.

[cevoner]

Great comparison. I find the Seestar a delight just because it dos not need polar aligning. Next might be an equatorial version which would make it the ultimate king.
