I don't know why people on many comment sections compare the S50 and other small app driven scopes to a regular astrophotography set-up. They are completely different approaches. There are a lot of gatekeepers out there that don't want people to produce any results unless they are spending 100s of hours learning, getting frustrated and then finally after years and £1000s getting the results they want. If the S50 brings people into astrophotography, or even a desire to look at the nights sky then I'm all for it! It's a fantastic bit of kit and these will only get better. I'm scared to get one as I suspect I would end up using it more than the Tele-Vue setup that cost me ... well .. a lot. On a separate subject, love the videos Mark, hope the channel grows exponentially. Cheers.

A very good piece of equipment to own, very simple to use and gives excellent pictures.

I’m more of a Stargazer and mostly use Binoculars from 2x42 to 25x100. Telescopes usually end up in frustration. This is was I’m looking for and can’t wait to use it this summer.

very very nice device I have one and it is unbelievable what it can do even at bortle 8.6.

I bought one recently, its a lot easier to set up than the 16" dob and I got a great picture of M42 last week. I look forward to setting it up on the lawn and being able to sit in the house in the warm watching the faint fuzzies come to life, seeing colours is a bonus too. The main advantage to me now is that it enables me to carry on with my hobby for a lot longer than would have been possible otherwise.🙂

Nice for bird watching 😊

Nice video, sun spots look great through that. I'd definitely get the seestar as a gift for my nephew, if I could find one :D

Hi, I was curious if you are setting up a patreon business, send a coffee etc As in video (EAA) with a DSLR, you seem pretty much against the idea? Your content is very good and guess some help with funding from subscribers may be worth considering. Wish you well, Best regards.. Tom.

Interesting device. So is Alexa, who can download celestial photos for me.

Amazingly good for steady shooting during the day - but the calibration, levelling, anti fogging routine to get the most mediocre picture of something you can’t / barely see with the naked eye conjoined with the image processing required to get a half decent image is a total put off - your better off Googling whatever you want to see and looking at someone else’s ’professional’ pictures that will be 100% better than you will ever achieve !!
