Interesting. All I can tell you is that when I click on Firmware it says 2.25 and that it's the current version. From someone on CN - "Hi, the current firmware version is 2.25, just checked on mine."

Just to save any confusion the latest android update is 2.25 not 1.14. I had to get it from Google Playstore - it did not update automatically as it has done before.

@jweaver100 I find that a tripod leveler is really useful. In spite of in built software I still want it level if possible.

1. I think that you will only get a reminder to level if it is out of level over the allowable amount. 2. Sounds about right to me. 3. Don't think you can do that. I would like to know.

Will a USB cable not work?

Hello and welcome.

Hello and welcome.

Hello and welcome.

I just got the Doogee - works really well with Seestar.

and expensive.

Great first attempt! Some suggestions - you need to get the focus right so I suggest a bahtinov mask. With M42 you need long exposures for most of it but short exposures for the core. You then combine them. Getting the colour right can be a bit trial and error but you don't say what camera was used. Was it the 183c Pro? Did you use an IR filter?

I had a weird issue last night with the Seestar. I asked it to GOTO the Moon and it struggled and only showed me a very bright area - I tried moving it but could not get the Moon. I tried this twice with no success. Then I asked it to GOTO M1 and it did it flawlessly. Then I asked it to GOTO the Moon from M1 and it worked perfectly. Seems that once it had gone to M1 it knew where it was. Anyway this is what I got. I am having all sorts of trouble transferring files from Tablet to PC but I won't bore you with that.

This is what it says on the Forum: There is a certain risk of falling when using the Seestar in a tilted state. At the same time, the internal motor will be unevenly stressed, which will accelerate the aging of the equipment.

Looked on the Seestar Forum and they don't recommend using it at an angle as it can cause undue wear on the gears.

On another point - has anyone tried the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Equatorial Wedge on a tripod to turn the seestar into EQ?

Has anyone found a lens hood that would fit the seestar?

Could you explain how you used it in EQ mode - I see nothing on the ZWO website about this. Good capture by the way.

Although there have been some improvements, I am still unable to lift anything much. So I got myself a Seestar and it has been cloudy ever since. No change there then. 😒

If you only want to do planetary imaging then a GOTO AltAz would do but an EQ would give you more options for the future. For planetary you want as big a scope as you can manage/afford and I would go the Sct route. It gets expensive.

I'll be 73 in April. Not much fun is it.

My health has improved but I still can't lift anything very heavy so I can't put the AVX mount out. I got one of those Seestar scopes to play with in the interim. Apart from the health issues, the age doesn't help. Hope you enjoy your new home.

Louise I have been away from here due to health issues and have only just seen this. I wish you all the best for the future. By the way - the weather everywhere in Britain is awful.

Looks great to me. Well done.

Top job! Love the pasta.😃

If you tap on the image of the camera another menu comes up. You can select to save individual files. They should be on the telescope drive under My Works.
