Seestar S50 All-in-One Smart APO Refractor Telescope

The ZWO Seestar S50 Smart Telescope is a revolutionary development in the world of Astrophotography. The introduction of smart Telescopes offer a very convenient, quick setup and exceptional performance option for those who would like to experience the wonders of the universe without the steep learning curve and complex world of conventional Astrophotography.

The Seestar S50 integrates a telescope, an electric focuser, astronomical camera, dew heater, ASIAIR intelligent controller, altazimuth mount and a filter wheel (UV/IR cut, duo-band, dark) into a single unit, weighing only 2.5 kg. With the use of a mobile app, it allows for easy capturing of sky objects such as the solar system objects, galaxies and nebulae.

Fully control your imaging:
Quickly learn the weather and recommendations for tonight's viewing, then select the celestial targets you are going to shoot - Its literally that easy.

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 offer 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 also 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 light which can wash out your images.

Built-in Wi-Fi/Bluetooth:
The Seestar comes with Wi-Fi/Bluetooth and can be used literally anywhere.

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