Is THIS the BEST SMART Telescope in the world? 🤔🔭

[@nazzify6417]

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.

[@treystephens9218]

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.

[@NoxusGr01]

Absolutely, like all the Apple stuff that contributed to launch this trend of "perceived value inflating prices". Unfortunately people are sheeps, but I'm happy that there are actually exceptions which makes people oper their eyes...

[@Astrotamtv]

@@NoxusGr01i remember when i first saw reviews about the vespera long ago. interesting concept but someone summed it up perfectly saying it was “something a very wealthy person would gift their little nephew”. The astronomical price just makes it impossible for a casual/beginner to get into. The seestar on the other hand? Affordable and the perfect value for what you pay for.

[@carolsantulis1990]

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.

[@blutey]

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

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.

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

[@James_Ford4815]

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

[@mimimimek3488]

No way they aren't. Everything is so insanely overpriced on their site

[@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.

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.

[@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.

[@erictreczoks460]

Definitely! Probably you use windows desktop apps. It would be great to see what are the best options for MacOS and Android/iOS, too.

[@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.

[@hedgehog3180]

I wouldn't be surprised if in a few years high schools start buying smart telescopes in the same way they started buying 3D printers when the technology matured and the market stabilized.

[@nikaxstrophotography]

@@hedgehog3180 yep they are perfect for school camps and outreach.I have also recommended one to a mate who wants to dip his toe into Astrophotography but told him about all the caveats I mentioned above

[@madcow3417]

I'm a hobby animal photographer and I'm looking to dip my toe into astrophotography. I didn't understand half the words you said. That tells me that I'm not ready for real astrophotography. $500 is cheaper than most camera lenses, so it's worth it to get one of these toys to learn on.

[@pdk60]

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.

[@forestntt72]

Imagine the increased frustration if you didn’t have a smart telescope. I have taken time to set up my equatorial mount only for the clouds to roll in and then have to put it away again. With this there are far more opportunities in the UK than traditionally available. Glad you are also enjoying it like me.

[@confuseatronica]

the cool thing is you can just let the fits files pile up on the scope and when you're ready you can stack them on a pc. I'm kinda amazed how little of the space i've used

[@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!

[@forestntt72]

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.

[@jameskirk172]

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.

[@amirklan19]

Согласен с вами, представляю монстра телескоп с 80 мм с таким то качеством и фильтрами, там можно будет снимать даже планеты очень близко😅

[@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.

[@andydragonfisher6900]

I have had the Seestar for 3 months now and have loved every minute using it. As a newcomer to the field, the ease of entry and low price point makes it a no brainier. The big question now is…will the Celestron Orion offer enough to make it worth the £4K or will the Seestar kill it before it even steps into the market? The scope looks great but the sensor is underwhelming and it’s still not an EQ mount device. Fingers crossed that someone brings a smart scope to the game that meets those needs too.

[@DamonScotting]

Well said, Andy! You're bang on with your points! I'm also excited to see what the Orion origin will produce 🤞

[@andydragonfisher6900]

These are just awesome. I am still looking for a an EQ 6 mount but they are more rare than chicken teeth here. I found an EQ 5 a few weeks ago, but still hoping for a 6. Maybe I'll end up with one of these instead. :)

[@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.

[@davidwebb4451]

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.

[@rotwiler7674]

Love my seestar s50. Super easy to setup, easy to use and takes good photos for the price. I bought a $20 tripod leveling base and fits in case also. So I have my entire setup in case. Everytime I connect a new device it acts up, won't let me connect, then works, after connecting a device successfully then it works perfect everytime. The s50 is around $460 now in US. When you do get one, make sure it's level before using, if not, you will make the scope off and have to relevel it. There is setting in app to level also. When doing deep space photos, remember to activate the filter and if humid, cool the heater. Then play around, I just used the best deep space objects that night and had a good looking nebula in minutes. I can sit on couch in living room and take photos while scope is on my deck. Tracks sun and moon great too.

I bouth a S50 two months ago and as an absolut beginner i am in love with that thing.

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.

[@KingsMom831]

Thanks for another awesome video!

[@0815mkl]

I agree on the Seestar S50 has the best price to quality ratio. But to make the who is who of smart telescopes complete, you should take a look at the devices from Vaonis. Their Vespera telescopes offer a build in mosaic mode (called CovalENS) that creates a much larger field of view over time. The first Vespera that came out two years ago has the same sensor then the Seestar S50 and with 200mm focal length is pretty comparable. The new version Vespera II and the upcoming Vespera Pro have much bigger sensors with higher resolution. The are more expenisve compared to the Seestar and DWARF, but not as high as the Unistellar devices.

[@apcyberax]

Good video. I've just preordered the dwarflab 3 looking forward to giving that a go as my first smart telescope

[@MikeLikesChannel]

Sold my HyperStar, ASI294MC, tri band filter and ASI Air for $1500… the $450 SeeStar replaced *ALL* of that equipment. I still have my C8 because it is special to look at the moon or Jupiter/Saturn through an eyepiece… but as far as deep sky imaging? SeeStar all day, or night - as it were.

[@hedgehog3180]

There's tons of free skymap software like Stellarium and Astrohopper that can help you get your bearings to start with. It helps to first get familiar with the planets, Jupiter and Venus are especially bright and easy to identify and once you know them you can use them as references. Also getting an actual physical star map is a great idea, having an actual piece of paper will give you an intuition that software can't really and you can use it without ruining your night vision plus they're extremely simple to use.

Great review, I saw a review the other day from another reviewer who recommend people wait, but for $500, my recommendation was to go for it and have fun! Thanks for your perspective on these three smart scopes. love my Seestar. It’s pretty easy to set up and get going fairly quick. Within about 5 mins, starting with 🎉walking into the backyard, powering up, selecting a target, and it doing its calibrations. My plan is to use my 8” Dobsonian next to and using the Seestar, kind of as a seeing eye dog to help me find what I’m looking for or, and at in my Dobsonian. The bottom line for me is, I can see a lot more with Seestar than I have experienced with my telescope and in a fraction of the time and ease of using. The downside so far is that I’m not impressed with the moon and planets in the Seestar but I haven’t really experimented with to see if I could do something different to get some better outcomes.

[@wesleydonnelly2141]

Damon the Unistellar EV 'scope is disgustingly expensive! In a hobby that is already so darn expensive to get into, it just really rattles my cage! So when the dwarf and S50 came out I was super pleased and impressed. Also, them being sub $500 also meant many more young and not so young alike could now be coaxed into the wonderful hobby we all know and love. Our future scientists will inevitably have a percentage of them who had chosen the science's for their higher education and future careers as a direct or even indirect result of their amazing experiences, wonder and memories as children using these very accessible instruments!

[@marbasfpv4639]

You didn't mention the smart scope Achilles heal... field rotation! Make a smart scope with a german eq mount and I'm all over it.

[@Matrix9969]

the Dwarf II is build to accept eq mount. On the counter part, the SeeStar doesn't have an official eq mode, but, you can put the SeeStar on a eq mount or simply a tilt head, and perform you regular start up. It will perform its 3 point alignment (it's automatic), and it will work as an EQ. But, since it doesn't have an eq mode feature yet, your horizon is higher since as a tweak alt az, it consider low altitude target under the horizon. so, the capability is there, but it need to be unleash. If you pick the Celestron Orion, it can be mount on a wedge and accept the eq.

Curious how the dwarf 3 will fair out

[@Sogstronomy]

Honestly the images from these smart telescopes are easy to beat if you have a star tracker and camera. They are really EAA tools rather than for astrophotography.

[@Matrix9969]

I agree, unfortunately, a start tracker is same price than these EAA, if you had a camera, a goto, a mini pc/raspberry pi/asiair, Dual Narrow Band filter, and... an APO lens and/or telescope + autofocusser, you're way out any 500$ market. This is the high selling point of these introduction device.

Sadly I don't own any telescope, but I'm kinda fan of astrophotography and wonders of our universe. My only resentment is that Smartscopes are great for newcomers and affordable (in my country it's still around monthly salary 😢 tho), but are they a bit.... too easy? They do all of work for you. I thought that process of capturing and stacking, color corection, cropping etc. is part of hobby. Although it's tough and tedious, it brings most joy and "pride and accomplishment". Learning new skills lose yourself in that process and clear your mind. It's like going fishing but bringing robot to fish for you.

[@millenialfalcon8243]

I do not own this, but my understanding is that it you can use this as an EAA device, where it does some of the work for you (mostly just live stacking) so you can at least see something in color within a couple of minutes, but it will also have a lot of digital noise. It does not automatically give you the beautiful, best images like Damon showed. He still has to export them to his computer and process them manually to eliminate the noise, color correct, etc...

You could buy 8 seestar s50 for the price of the Celestion origin 😂

[@hootbaez6185]

So??? Price is only one factor to consider. There is also performance. Moreover, it’s price is comparable to what a more serious traditional Astro rig would cost. In the visual world, I could buy a 4 1/2 Orion Starblast reflector for a few hundred bucks, an 8” mass-produced dob for $700, or a 22” Obsession Dob for $10-15k. The Starblast is clearly the cheapest, but also has the worst performance. The Obsession wins on performance, but is very expensive and requires a lot of space. For now I have settled on the 8” as a balance of performance and price. But don’t be surprised if I eventually save up for the Obsession.

Hi, I really need your advice. Which telescope to choose not only for astrophotography but also for animal photography. This is my first telescope. Thanks

[@rshetts]

You should consider the Dwarf 3 that comes out Late August/Early September. Most professional reviewers state that the Dwarf 2 smart scope works better for terrestrial photography than the Seestar. The new Dwarf 3 should be very comparable to the Seestar as far as specs and with the built in mosaic mode, should actually be better than the S-50. The new Dwarf 3 is also very competitively priced with a pre-sale price of $469 US. I am looking for a scope similar to what you want, one that handles astro and terrestrial photography well and after much research I have ordered the Dwarf 3 myself.

that is not correct. At Astroshop it costs 735 euros + shipping costs.

I can beat the crap out of dwarf with my Manual Telescope

Cool, but that hasn’t been my experience. I’ve had my telescope for 15 months, I have a hard time finding targets. I’ve seen 2 nebulas in my telescope (and the 1st one, I wasn’t even sure what I was looking for certain at, at first) and they have not come close to what I’ve seen in the smart scope. I got some great shots of 12P the other night that I couldn’t find in binoculars or with my naked eyes. But my experience has been with the Seestar.

@@jackg7225 I mean that's the thing, these smart scopes are selling convenience but if you already have the knowledge and skill and don't mind putting in a bit of effort they don't offer much.

In germoney u pay 750€ ... over 800 USD for the S50 🤣👍

[@arnavverma6217]

I wish that I had S50 telescope with me but it costs too much that I can't afford it...Even though I tried 2 givaway off of S50 but missed the chance😥

would this work in highly polluted cities as well?

[@DamonScotting]

Yes 😁

I haven't been that early in a video

[@hedgehog3180]

I don't really get what they point of having a fake eyepiece on the eVscope is, if it's just a screen why not just let me look at the full screen instead of forcing me to look through a tiny eyepiece? Having the eyepiece there just seems sorta deceptive and gives the impression that I can actually use this for visual astronomy.

Me watching this knowing i wont get a automatic telescope 💀

[@DamonScotting]

Fair enough, any ideas on what you're looking at as an alternative? I'm planning on doing a video about the best telescope setups available for under $1000 so I'd appreciate any ideas 😁👍

@@DamonScotting Challenge for you. Build a budget (under $1000 USD) AP rig using the Sky Watcher Virtuoso 130p or 150p. Both priced at under $500 for go-to. Gives you $500-$600 to spend on a budget camera and other gear. The well balanced and priced 585 perhaps. These scopes are better suited for beginner EAA and enough aperture for beginner visual too. My opinion, these may be the best starter scopes under $500.

@@DamonScotting A lot of people told me to buy celestron starsense but I think a 130 mm Newtonian

I owned the evscope for a week and sold it. It was TRASH. The biggest scam.

I have been corresponding with KZbinr, Ed Ting, and he implied that your, and others’, outstanding astro photos taken with the SeeStar are fake.
