I think a certain amount of snobbery and purchase cost justification of high end equipment versus this brilliant little scope comes into play here.

Well said. 👍

I think looking at the reviews Ed Tring is in an extreme minority with his opinion.

Quite astounding without any proper processing either and to think only £500

Ed Ting was comparing many thousands of pounds worth of Astro gear with an amazing £500 piece of kit. I am a member of some Seestar FB groups and some of the images people are getting are truly astounding. Experienced imagers are also shouting the praises of this scope. So I am not sure what your beef with it is

Quick question. What is an affordable power bank for the Seestar S50?

A break in the clouds last night. Taken straight from the Seestar:

Hi 900SL, in your calculations when might it go supernova as I am getting the feeling some of the good people here are being condescending without actually knowing anything? Unfortunately the WWW is full of keyboard experts that tend to make their opinions as a fact. Me I tend to dream of what we don't know and what just might possibly happen in our lifetime. It makes life so much more interesting do you think?

The Moon from last night

My first Deep sky image from my Seestar tonight. M81 Bodes Galaxy.

Wouldn't it be fantastic if it blew. Let your imaginations run wild on this one instead of speculating on just how long as no one knows.

So let's just look at the feed and wonder. Does no harm.

Thank you

Thank you

When is it going to happen?

It's a live feed of a star possibly going supernova. What harm is there in that? I am quite shocked at the negativity here.

Once again no one knows when but it is thought sooner rather than later.

Aa in nobody knows it could be today, tomorrow or 10 years.

I'm sorry but it seems it could go at any time now and no one seems to know! Even scientists are divided......I respect Prof Brian Cox with his view that it's imminent.

Oh I think it's an interesting discussion and wouldn't it be fantastic if it did go in our lifetime.

hello Paul I think many astronomers and scientists believe it will happen much sooner than anyone thought originally

According to the scientists I have read no one knows for sure. Dr Brian Cox might disagree with you.

In which way

How is it rubbish?

Sorry but I believe that no one is sure what or how long this is going to take with some experts saying it is imminent and could happen today tomorrow or in a hundred years. Of course it might already have happened but we just do not know yet.
