Seestar S50 Accessories

[@mattestabrook]

Thanks for the video and excellent discussion. Here is another data point for your viewers. I have both levelers and I see your point about stability, but personally I find the ball-head leveler to be easier to use successfully. Clear skies, all!

@@mattestabrook That's about what I said in my leveler shootout video! Thanks for the comment!

Good video I'm in UK - weathers been sucking for nearly 3 months but looking good for our 2 week vacation where it's dark skies and if clear I can get a full panorama rather than my limited view at home

Hi! Like the video. I believe the electronics in your battery pack are causing interference with the seestar. I use a pack that I keep a couple of feet away with no issues. Could also be the Bluetooth connection to your phone. -Jim

I've have also bought an upgraded mount, as im 6'5" that stubby mount was just not going to cut it. I also have the try wheel leveler, and it works fantastic. I get about 5 hrs of battery time on it, so ill be looking at getting a support for that, but so far its a great little unit. Clear skys bud

@@sirrednexx1262 great comments! Thanks!

Why would you suggest turning off the horizontal calibration? It only takes a minute or two and greatly improves the tracking accuracy.

@@StuffyToaster because it's not needed...

Thanks for this useful video (and also for the one about the level adjusters). The external battery you mentioned has two outputs, I suppose that the right one is the 5 V ? Can you confirm ? I've my Seestar for only a few days and I'm still discovering it. Clear skies ! (french speaking from Belgium, so perfectible English :) ).

@@TheHiggins19 The 5volt output is the USB connection. The 12volt output is the small round receptacle.

@@TelescopeGreg Thank you Greg :)

Has anybody ever added an additional lens to give a closer focus. like 10-15m. Good for birds etc.

[@TelescopeGreg]

I'm not sure you can do that. If you can, please provide info or a link.
