Can't wait to do some M31 mosaics in the winter/spring!

I am also excitedly awaiting mosaic mode! I keep starting up and hoping for a firmware update

Thank you for your support. Please give us some time. The mosaic function will be implemented in the second half of the year.

AstroImg@ZWO By then I'll be observing with the Vespera Pro. Heck the Dwarf 3 will have it before then. Oh well.

pupak This would be funny if it weren't so sad.

I've given up waiting for the Mosaic mode update and all the others and purchased a Dwarflab 3, boxed up my Seestar and stored it away. At least Dwarflab listen to their users and bring out updates quickly....

Seestar_S50 I am looking at the DwarfLab 3 too. I would really appreciate it if you would post your first impressions, especially as a former S50 user.

I'm quite confident the S50 development team will release the Mosaic functionality when it has passed all appropriate functionality tests with a high degree of quality. They know what their competitors offer.

Great product. Keep up the good work.

marvindj I have been using the S50 for almost 8 months now and I am sorry to say that I do not share your optimism. Do not get me wrong, I like the S50 and I am a big fan, I am very impressed by what you can do with such a low cost unit. I like the price, I like the portability, it is an amazing product.

I am less than impressed by the SeeStar software, especially by the complete lack of progress over such a long period of time, despite constant requests for many new features on this forum. From my point of view the software reached a relatively stable state around January and nothing much has changed since. There is absolutely no difference in the way I am using my S50 today compared with 6 months ago, no new feature to make my life easier and or better. To make things worse, it takes now almost twice as long to do a longer exposure compared with what I remember from 6 months ago and new software bugs seem to pop up from the woods, like the multicolor parallel satellite trails. I remember the goto function in SkyAtlas just working months ago, today it takes forever and I just cancel it and switch manually to stargazing mode, the S50 is already pointing right but it is unable to realize that.

I remember doing maybe ten firmware updates over the time I owned the S50, with absolutely no new features added and the usability going down, especially in the last couple of months. Yes, the S50 is a good product and it works, but it does not seem to go anywhere and my patience is wearing thin.

starnet I forgot to add another thing, I tried to take a Moon picture during the day recently and the S50 was completely unable to find it. After wasting 15 minutes of my time on ridiculously failing attempts (and yes, I calibrated the compass and leveled the scope multiple times), with the S50 pointing in any direction but the Moon's, I had to manually point the telescope and the fastest way was by rotating the tripod, that's how silly and useless the screen joystick is. This too used to work in the past better than it is doing right now.

That’s tech for you. You either wait until a better model comes out or put up with what you have at present. For casual photos you can’t beat the Seestar with its current configuration.

I bought a skywatcher tripod and a levelling device and makes it so much easier to use than the supplied tripod

I was about to order a Seestar S50 mainly because of mosaic mode - I thought it was already available, a quick google search brought me to this thread and its not yet released, we are 2 months into 2nd half of the year. @AstroNet@ZWO - is this still going to be released? Would it make more sense to wait until you release the pro version of the S50 mentioned above at the end of the year, if the mosaic is only going to be available for the upgraded version of the S50? I was so excited to order one, until I saw this thread, I have it in a shopping cart from one of your authorized resellers at this moment, and thought to double check mosaic mode has actually been released, and here we are.

[unknown] Regarding the mosaic mode, wait for the surprise! Although an accurate timetable cannot be provided for the time being.

Will this new release update fix all the other issue that have already been reported in these post as well as give us the long awaited Mosaic mode?

Seestar_S50 Currently, some features that everyone is looking forward to are under intense testing. Although we cannot provide a timetable, we believe they will come sooner or later.

support ,
hi there. Is there any way to apply for the beta of this feature?

support Could you give us any insight on whether you believe you can stick to your "this is coming in the 2nd half of this year" comment you made a few months ago? Waiting is fine, I would just like to have a general idea of how development is going!
