All about the product

Smart Telescope Seestar S30 Pro

The new and advanced Seestar S30 Pro is the direct successor of the extremely popular smart telescope Seestar S30. This device is a fully automated "GoTo" telescope, perfectly suited for both terrestrial nature observation and high-level astrophotography using two integrated cameras. Control is executed via a smartphone or tablet through the reliable ZWO "Seestar" app. "SkyHunters" recommends this innovative device as the ideal choice for anyone wanting to effortlessly create impressive images of space.

Key Advantages

• Professional apochromatic quadruplet optics: ensure impeccably bright and detailed night sky images with excellent chromatic aberration control.
• 4K dual camera system: The combination of the "Sony IMX585" main sensor and "Sony IMX586" sensor provides a wide 63° field of view, ideal for capturing atmospheric images of the night sky and landscapes.
• Integrated dual-band filter: effectively suppresses artificial light pollution, allowing galaxies and nebulae to be photographed successfully even from a city balcony.
• Automatic GoTo alignment and autofocus: The system automatically aligns itself using internal sensors and smartphone GPS, ensuring excellent image sharpness without complicated settings.
• Milky Way panorama and mosaic mode: The updated processing engine combines individual 4K frames into stunning 8K compositions.

Product Description

Astrophotography has never been easier. Professional optical elements with high-quality coatings minimize light loss, while high sensor sensitivity helps avoid noise even during long exposures capturing deep sky objects. The integrated image processing in the app electronically further reduces digital noise, preserving the subtle details of heavenly bodies. Photos can be downloaded in JPEG or FITS formats, and videos in MP4 or AVI formats. The internal 128 GB memory ensures safe and reliable data storage and transfer.

Finding noteworthy celestial objects is extremely easy: just select an object from the "Tonight's Best" list in the app, and Seestar will automatically point the telescope and start precise tracking. Users have access to a database containing more than 4000 objects with detailed information. During the day, the included solar filters with magnetic mount quickly transform the Seestar S30 Pro into a safe solar telescope for capturing sunspots and solar activities. To prevent lens fogging on cool nights, a built-in heater is included in the device.

The "Pro" version also supports astronomical photometry – calibrated photometric measurements allowing the observation of variable stars and the detection of potential new star systems. The telescope is by default used in azimuth mode on the included tripod, but can be switched to equatorial (paralactic) mode for longer exposures with additional accessories. The integrated 6000 mAh battery allows the device to operate for about 6 hours (tested in ZWO lab conditions), while the USB-C port enables the connection of an external power source (Power Bank).

Who is this telescope for?

• Those who have little time or patience but want to obtain stunning astrophotography with a single button press.
• Visual observers wishing to capture clear, automated digital images.
• Travelers who prioritize extremely compact equipment size in luggage.
• Amateurs looking to achieve high results without lengthy and complicated photo correction on a computer.
