I would choose this over DWARF II

For astronomy and Astrophotography Seestar is better. Dwarf 2 is better at scenery and birds or wide life having the landscape orientation and object tracking. Will make a comparison video soon on deep sky side by side lunar and solar

just the kind of review i was looking for. Thnx😃

That folding table that you unbox the SeeStar on is very nice! Is that a rubber sheet that you added, or did you buy the table like that?

Hello thank you. The table does not have a rubber sheet on it. But it is still good

Thanks mate nice demoe i just bought this nice telescope but not started yet by the way how to know how to point it? may be pointing it to wrong direction & will it take many photos during that time or only one?

It should fit if the backpack is large enough. Check the website for details on dimensions of the case. I do not have it at hand at the moment

Have you tested it in light polluted area. If yes, was it giving you good results. Any advice you have about this aspect. I know it has LP function. Does it eliminate LP?

@GalaxyArtMedia

Yes. I tested under a full moon and the light pollution filter is good 👍

What prompted you to rotate the scope to calibrate the compass? I had no such prompts.

It was required by the older updates. And just pup out on the screen to do it. You still have the option in settings if you want to try it 🤗

Comparison with mak127 is desirable. It would be an interesting test.

I just unboxed mine today. No need to level tripod by adjusting legs in and out and worrying about tippage. Leave completely extended and rotate the adjustments at the bottom of each leg.

I was able to turn the Drawf 2 into an equatorial telescope by aligning it with Polaris. Is it possible to do the same with the Seestar to avoid field rotation?

@GalaxyArtMedia

8 ай бұрын

I tried that also with the dwarf 2 it diminished the field rotation but not removed it entirely on long plans. With the Seestar s50 you cannot use it in equatorial mode

@GalaxyArtMedia

8 ай бұрын

Regarding the field rotation compared with dwarf 2 i noticed the Seestar has less , and i could go longer plans up to two hours, it will depend also of the dso imaged. On Orion Nebula i made one hour stack and had 0 gradients

Is it a product from China ? What's the quality like ?

@GalaxyArtMedia

Zwo is Chinese..so yes. Most of the astronomy cameras and telescopes are made today in China. Regarding quality it is better than I expected at this price. Good optics. Triplet refractor without fringing. Quality dual band filter Good tracking, stacking and autofocus and Good goto. all in a small black box

@@GalaxyArtMedia Even Celestron and Meade telescopes are made in China these days, if I'm not mistaken. As far as I know the company who manufactures Dwarf II is a company based in Hong Kong, I suppose it's also Chinese made as well since the labour cost is lower in China. I would like to get Seestars S50, but I've concerns about its shoddy quality.

​@@ButchCassidyAndSundanceKid what i can tell you is that, it can survive a fall if it drops down, so build quality is good, other telescopes might not survive, will make a video about the drop test later on, the only think i would change is the kit tripod, i do not believe in small tripods for heavier devices. regarding image quality and ease of use , i can say that is top 10, auto focus works very good, it also does calibration frames each new night in 1 min or less, the filter is very good, the software is very good. Zwo borrowed to me for the moment but i think will buy it also if they do not decide to leave it as a gift after finishing the reviews. Is a must have telescope at this price especially if you begin astrophotography, even if you have a 5000$ at home still can be useful for travel or lunar and solar. comparing with dwarf ii this will be a future video also, but at the moment seestar looks to be better quality

@@GalaxyArtMedia I have to agree with you, the very first thing I noticed was the tripod, it is so short. They probably expect you to lie on the ground or have a table where you can put the telescope on. Another thing I'm not sure is the planets, they're so tiny, I mean I expect to see the Cassini Division on the Saturn or the Giant Red Spot on the Jupiter like you can on the Celestron C8.
