S50 timelapse delay change...

dcarkner

Hello - I had had the S50 for a few weeks now, and it's a great product. I used it to capture the recent eclipse, and it was much easier to get a high quality result, compared to my older telescope. I would have liked to be able to change the time lapse delay during the capture. It would be ideal to use a 5 sec delay during the 1.5 hours of partial eclipse, and then change to a shorter delay for the 3 min totality. This can be done by stopping and restarting the time lapse, but then the result is multiple video files, which would have to be connected later. I would expect that it would be pretty straightforward to allow this to be changed live in the capture software - just don't gray out the control. In addition, it would be great to allow timelapse delays of less than 1 sec - perhaps down to 0.1 sec. With a 1 sec delay, 3 minutes of totality results in 6 seconds of video, which is a little short. Thanks!

I really enjoy using my See Star for lunar observing. It finds, focuses and tracks the Moon beautifully. Please give us the option to save every individual photo taken during timelapse. I have custom software to put these individual frames into a Timelapse video at custom frame rates and with accurate time stamps on every frame.

Currently the Seestar only produces a video and this is missing much of the information I usually put in my Timelapse videos.

Just a simple change to the software could achieve this. Allow us to save photos automatically at the desired interval.

That would make the See Star perfect in my opinion.

rob2160 Thanks, i conveyed to our team, currently you can use 3rd party software to separate the video to single frame then create the video you want.
