Event

Member Conrad Cardano will give a presentation on using the Seestar Smart Telescope.

The Seestar All-in-One Smart Telescope from ZWO Astro lets even novice users observe and photograph the cosmos without the need for bulky, complex equipment. Simply connect your phone or tablet and select the celestial object you want to see—the Seestar turns to and focuses on your target, delivering unforgettable views of our universe, even from light-polluted cities. The telescope employs an air-spaced triplet apochromatic lens system and is equipped with light-pollution and solar filters. Live-stacking capability allows you to enhance your images the way the experts do. In Landscape mode, Seestar can be used for terrestrial observation and photography, too. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity allow you to enjoy and share your photos and video.

Conrad will cover the following topics:

  • Initial setup 
  • The Seestar app and navigating the menus
  •  Finding objects and photographing them.
  •  Enhancing the images the day after.
