Product description

The universe at your fingertips! Seestar S50.
The Seestar S50 is a compact smart telescope with a 50 mm aperture for anyone who is fascinated by the universe. Just imagine being able to take fascinating astrophotographs of stars, galaxies and nebulae at the touch of a button. All without any effort, prior knowledge or professional equipment.
Intelligent technology, a compact all-in-one design and an intuitive app make it possible. The secrets of the universe are now literally before your eyes.

The advantages at a glance:

  • Just like the big ones: genuine 50 mm apochromatic lens for crystal-clear images that immediately captivate every viewer
  • GoTo, autofocus and live stacking – watch the image come to life before your eyes
  • Free app as a control centre for unforgettable sky tours
  • Astrophotography made easy: set up the telescope, start the app and get going
  • Battery for 6 hours of astrophotography power at a time
  • Welcome to the future of astrophotography!

Astrophotography as if by magic
With the Seestar, photographing celestial objects is child's play. It does everything itself! Simply select your desired object and voilà! The telescope finds its target and automatically adjusts the focus. Thanks to star tracking and automatic stacking, an increasingly better image appears before your eyes. And this is how it works...

5 smart steps to creating an astrophotograph
The Seestar reduces the amount of work you would otherwise have to do:

  • Automatic alignment – set up the telescope and let it navigate itself. Thanks to pattern recognition and your Smartphone's GPS, the Seestar can identify every star.
  • GoTo system – the telescope points to an object at the touch of a button. You don't need to do anything else manually.
  • Automatic tracking – motors automatically keep the celestial object in the field of view, even if you like to observe for hours.
  • Autofocus – no trial and error, just automatic focusing on the object.
  • Auto-stacking - multiple stacked images make the object clearer and clearer until the finished astrophotograph appears. Of course, you can also share it immediately with your friends via your Smartphone.

Experience how the Orion Nebula grows into a gigantic structure, how the spiral arms wind around the Whirlpool Galaxy, or how the open Perseus Double Cluster reveals hundreds of sparkling stars. See the universe with new eyes.

Your central control unit for the starry sky
With the free Seestar app, you can navigate your telescope through the sea of stars. Like a captain on the bridge, you always have a complete overview. What are the weather conditions and temperature? Which objects are currently in view? Where should you travel next?

Star charts, top objects for the night or an extensive object database: the app offers so many possibilities and ways to explore the universe in your own way. Follow the app's recommendations or simply move away from the most popular objects. With the accompanying information about the objects, you will soon become an expert on the night sky. You are only minutes away from the most impressive objects.

Clear images & fine resolution
The telescope is equipped with an apochromatic 50 mm triplet lens and an IMX462 sensor with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. Together, they form a team that produces crystal-clear images with a depth of detail that was impossible until recently.

Astrophotography is easy
The Seestar iseasy to transport, lightweight (only 3 kg!) and can be set up anywhere you want. Whether you take it with you on a mountain hike or simply set it up in your garden, this telescope is always ready for action.

Deep sky or moon: the Seestar is an expert in both
Two powerful modes with one goal... impressive photos. In video mode, you can capture the moon and planets with short exposure times to create impressive photos.

Who is this telescope designed for?

  • Do you have little time or patience but still want to take beautiful astrophotographs?
  • You don't want to do everything yourself, but want to take advantage of the new technology?
  • Are you a visual observer, but fascinated by individual images?
  • Do you have limited space in your luggage but want a telescope for travelling?
  • Do you want to achieve results without having to deal with complex image processing?

With this intelligent telescope, you can take fascinating astrophotographs at the touch of a button.

Seestar S50

Review by . . on 03.03.2025 13:33:40

( 5 / 5 )

Hallo!

Mein Beobachtungsstandort ist ein Westbalkon am Stadtrand von Köln, d.h. noch genug Lichtverschmutzung um astronomische Betrachtung zu erschweren.

Die negativen Erfahrungen mit dem S50 zu Anfangs kann ich mittlerweile revidieren. Das goto funktioniert jetzt einwandfrei und sogar Fitzelobjekte wie Uranus werden auf Punkt gefunden. Ich konnte auch bereits schöne Fotos festhalten und werde bei klarem Himmel heute den ersten Plan mit dem S50 fahren, inklusive Mosaic.

Was habe ich getan, um die anfänglichen Probleme zu eliminieren:

- ein Stativ mit horizontaler Rotation für die Kompasskalibration gekauft
- eine Nivelliereinrichtung besorgt, um die Nivellierung präziser durchzuführen

Das Seestar habe ich mir gekauft, weil ich an die Anschaffung eines größeren Teleskops denke und sehen will ob ich dieses Hobby wieder aufnehme.
Erstaunlich, was das kleine Ding alles kann und ich werde es im Gepäck haben, wenn ich auf Reisen bin.

Für mein geplantes EdgeHD CGX-L werde ich mich wieder an Astroshop wenden, speziell Hr. Schuchhardt.

Viele Grüße: Günther aus Köln

Surprising small instrument fit deep spacieux objects

The Seestar is a small refractor, fully automated, destinated to deep sky observation.
Its main advantage is the efficiency of the goto system and follow-up, which is completely automatic,performant and quite fast. Autofocus is tunable.
The smartphone application is simple to use, very intutive.
Images and stacking can be re-processed ysing Siril, Photoshop, etc.
