Discover the hidden universe

Observe the universe like never before: Seestar S50 allows you to create stunning images using live stacking mode. The more images you capture the more color and details will grow before your eyes. Things you can not witness with your naked eye will be gradually revealed.

Immersive visual experience

The professional grade triplet apochromatic optics offers beautifully crisp images of the night sky with excellent control of chromatic aberration. The high-quality coating also helps reduce light loss.

To increase the contrast of emission nebulae, it is possible to replace the UV/IR cut filter normally in the beam path with a UHC filter by means of a built-in filter changer. This filter will block much of the light pollution and natural sky lightening.

Built-in Wi-Fi/Bluetooth

It comes with Wi-Fi/Bluetooth and can be used anywhere.

Built-in sensors

Built-in sensors assist in tripod leveling using your mobile phone screen.

Low power consumption

Low power consumption for extended battery life. Can be recharged via power bank while in use. Battery life when fully charged is 6 hours (Data resource: ZWO experimental laboratory).

Light weight design
