Seestar S30 Pro Product Features Easy Astrophotography for Anyone with Just This One Device The Seestar S30 Pro is a next-generation smart telescope that allows anyone to easily enjoy astrophotography by connecting to a smartphone. No equipment other than this product is required, and even beginners can easily take astronomical photos. It can be operated intuitively with the smartphone app 'Seestar' (free), and there is no need for detailed settings. The camera automatically recognizes celestial bodies, shoots, and processes images, allowing you to easily enjoy beautiful views of celestial bodies. Lightweight, Compact, and Easy Setup The weight, including the tripod, is only 1.65 kg, making it extremely lightweight, and the included tripod can be stored in a dedicated case along with the main unit, making it easy to carry. A battery is built-in, so there is no need to prepare one separately. Preparation for shooting is complete just by leveling the tripod and attaching the main unit. You can easily enjoy astronomical observation anywhere. Rich in Features and Data, Intuitive 'Seestar' App By utilizing the 'SkyAtlas' and 'Tonight's Best' features, you can easily check and track celestial bodies visible at that time. Therefore, it is possible to easily photograph celestial bodies without detailed knowledge. The Seestar S30 Pro features a Constellation/Milky Way photography mode in addition to the three modes: Nebula/Star Cluster mode, Solar System mode, and Scenery mode. The app supports the optimal processing for each photographic subject. Astrophotography is Possible Even in Urban Areas with Few Visible Stars It has a built-in light pollution filter*, which increases the certainty of photography even in areas where stars are hard to see due to the effects of city lights, such as in urban areas. The filter can be turned On/Off within the app (telephoto side only). *A duo-band filter that transmits only the characteristic wavelengths of nebulas. Even Higher Precision Optical Design x High-Sensitivity Sensor for Unprecedented Clear Views of Space Adopts a 4-element apochromatic optical system, realizing a clear image with suppressed chromatic aberration. The telephoto side is equipped with a 1/1.2-inch image sensor. The high-precision optical design and high-sensitivity sensor clearly capture the details of stars and celestial bodies. Keep Clear, Fog-Free Images with a Lens Heater Equipped with a lens heater function to prevent fogging caused by the lens temperature dropping below the outside temperature during long photography sessions at night. You can enjoy astrophotography with peace of mind while maintaining a clear image. Safe Solar Observation with a Solar Filter A solar filter is included, allowing for photography of the sun. You can smoothly track and safely observe the sun. Great for Daytime Photography as Well For daytime photography, it can be used as a high-magnification camera with a focal length equivalent to approximately 500mm*. It can be used for a wide range of purposes, from distant scenery to wild birds. *Full-frame equivalent Photograph the Milky Way and Constellations The wide-angle side can be used as a camera with a focal length equivalent to approximately 35mm*. By using the shooting mode dedicated to the Seestar S30 Pro, you can not only photograph constellations and the Milky Way but also capture star trails. *Full-frame equivalent Even More Delicate Photos in Equatorial Mount Mode The Equatorial Mount Mode* solves the 'field rotation' issue that becomes a problem in the normal Alt-Azimuth mode. Because long exposures can be taken without worrying about the composition rotating, it is possible to clearly depict the details of faint nebulas. Furthermore, the efficiency of mosaic photography (Framing function) is also improved. Wide celestial bodies can be captured more beautifully and smoothly. *A separate pan head and tripod are required.
