I wanted a seestar but since they don't have any until next year, I bought the dwarf 2. I could not be happier. And with the new app that should be out next week it should be even better. Good comparison.

Seestar and DWARF serve different purposes for me. I like both. I look forward to the next software release to see what DWARF can do with autofocus and 1x1 binning for DSO.

Auto darks at the start of every session and autofocus are two big advantages in Seestar.

Thank you for a good unbiased opinion, nice to see the comparisons figures side by side. Many thanks. CS

Hopefully after watching a demonstration of of the new app it appears that they may have fixed the issue with taking pictures of planets.

I do not hold my hopes too high for imaging planets with a 24 mm aperture, but I will wait and see the new sofware.

My seestar is already in the mail. Can’t wait to get it, such an amazing device. Btw: you can print (and buy if you want to) adapters for the seestar to mount any filter you want to, so the point on your comparison isn’t correct 😉 (zoom in the seestar app is also possible with the pinch gesture, just saying, it isn’t really important 😊)

I know I can zoom with pinch gesture, but I like the double-click zoom provided.

The new app in the Dwarf seems to allow binning 1x1. That changes anything of your evaluation?

I ran a mini-Messier marathon with DWARF 1x1, kzread.info/dash/bejne/hIV51NONnZPXg9Y.html and I got mixed results. Some targets looked really good (M45) and others underwhelmed. Two-inch glass collects four times more light than one-inch.

Thanks for this video… My Seestar arrived this week and because I watched several of your videos, I was imagining in minutes. I have question about the Compass in the Seestar. You mention pointing it North. My question is which face of the Seestar base do you have facing north?

@PompeyObservatory

I am glad to hear my videos are helpful. I point Seestar so that the ON/OFF switch points East, and when the telescope opens the lens points North. HOWEVER, Seestar has confused South for North a couple of times, so I start the night by going to Polaris as my first target, then all is well.

Good review sir.
