ZWO Seestar S50

[Lee_P]

I've been using this little telescope for a few weeks now and have written a review. I hope it may be of use! https://urbanastrophotography.com/index.php/2023/12/05/review-zwo-seestar-s50/

I like your review of the SeeStar S50 @Lee_P!  It seems clear that ZWO has produced a hot product for the robotic telescope segment of the market.  Your linked outreach guide looks handy as well.  I am especially interested in your suggested layouts for outreach sessions and the included rationale behind your crowd management concepts.

Great review. I like that you honestly assess it's good and bad points. Some reviews I've seen promote the S50 as the best thing that's ever happened to amateur astronomy.

Excellent write up Lee, and some great example images too. I've been chatting with a work colleague who bought a Dwarf II before Christmas and he was curious about how images would look out of these live stacking telescopes. I'll direct him to your article

Hello, 

You think that thus Seestar50 can bé a good alternative for a visual telescope?

Seestars and visual telescopes are very different, so whether it's an alternative for you depends on what you want from the instrument. It's fairer to say that a Seestar complements a visual telescope very well, and vice versa.
