Testing the ZWO SeeStar S50's Scenery Mode at Stargaze Nova Scotia and at Peggy's Cove in Nova Scotia after a late autumn snow. Sorry if this is mildly ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response), try not to fall asleep!

Wow - Beautiful images! (Beautiful scenery, too!)

Thank you John, for showing what the Seestar can do! The distance needed to get that Lighthouse in view was considerable! Something to keep in mind for imaging during the day.

Mine’s waiting to be opened, under the tree 🌲 now ! This is an awesome video you posted showing earthly capabilities of this little telescope, looks like I can almost do away carrying a video camera!

Nice video. Too bad you didn't show an example using a DSLR and SeeStar of the Lighthouse to compare with. I like the sunset with the DSLR better. I am thinking about the SeeStar 50, but still on the fence.

@LearnToStargaze 7 ай бұрын

The lighthouse is only a couple pixels high with the DSLR. It is in the background of two shots from the 111 memorial location, which were filmed in HD with the DSLR.

@zygmuntziokowski7877 7 ай бұрын

I have a telescope, and mirrorless camera. I need a new zoom lens for my nikon, and I would also like a ZWO camera for the telescope. The problems is which way to go. I am a MAC and SharpCap does't work with the MAC and I am having a hard finding software for the MAC. For the telescope the SeeStar is good way to go, without looking at planets. I have some decision to make.@@LearnToStargaze

@tomcaron9113 7 ай бұрын

The only thing keeping me from ordering the S50 is lack of real landscape mode. Do think they will add this in an update or are they limited by the hardware? The Dwarf II has it but the resolution does not match the S50.

@LearnToStargaze 7 ай бұрын

It’s limited by the sensor size. The sensor is the most expensive part of the telescope, that’s why it’s so small.

Would his work for landscapes in the dark? Can it do a timelapse of a sunset? would be nice if it had a trail camera mode.

@LearnToStargaze 7 ай бұрын

Yes, it does Timelapse, the Sun would fill almost the entire frame, not sure how good that would look. What’s trail camera mode?

@dukeofdoom2 7 ай бұрын

It's a camera that can be placed on trails, usually tied to a tree, and when it detects an animal or motion than it starts recording. So if I understand your comment about the sun correctly, this is focal equivalent to something like a 1200mm+ lens on a regular camera?

@LearnToStargaze 7 ай бұрын

@@dukeofdoom2 It's something like a 250mm lens, that's only using about 10% of the image (due to the tiny sensor). That's why its a challenge to view anything from less than about 1000ft away.

@@SirDamatoIII Yes, but that does not explain Seestar updating OTT while being connected to phone. Seestar does not have a "pass-through" option for internet, at least until the last time i checked.
