Discovered in 2022 by Gaia, BH1 is the closest known back hole (for now), at 1565 light years. With a mass of 9.6 Suns it has a radius of 28Km and as nothing is currently falling in it, is invisible. However, it has a star companion, almost a twin to our Sun, a G star with 0.93 solar mass and 0.99 solar radius, which orbits the black hole at a distance of about 1 AU in 185 days, and this star we can see. It is quite faint, magnitude 13.7, but something the S50 can definitely see. It is right in the middle of this seemingly banal starfield in the constellation Ophiuchus:

Here is a zoom in (as far as the SeeStar app will let you, which is not much), with the arrow pointing to BH1:

For reference, here is the Stellarium screen shot with BH1 marked with a cross:

If you want to check this out yourselves, all you have to do is enter the RA=17h 28m 41s and DEC=−00° 34′ 52″ coordinates in SkyAtlas and press GoTo - wait, I forgot you cannot do that, but you can watch an animated spinning wheel while you fly through a starfield at multiple times the speed of light instead!

starnet If a GoTo RA/Dec function is so difficult to implement, what about something even easier - in SkyAtlas you always have a red Target rectangle, with a red cross in the middle, just display the RA/Dec coordinates of the red cross at the top of the screen, how hard can that be? Instead of entering coordinates manually we could pan the screen until the red cross points to whatever we want to capture. If a target is not in the searchable SkyAtlas data base, and BH1 is not, there is no easy way to make the S50 point to that target.

ZWO, give me at least this minuscule improvement in the ease of use and I will stop asking for mosaic mode and automation, I promise.

I see, but have you tried to use this new feature? It only accepts JNow coordinates, while J2000 are more common. You can add a target as a custom object, but if you made a mistake you cannot edit it and more importantly, you cannot delete an entry once added. It sort of works, but not really.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boy_Who_Cried_Wolf

The Boy Who Cried Wolf is one of Aesop's Fables, numbered 210 in the Perry Index.[1] From it is derived the English idiom "to cry wolf", defined as "to give a false alarm" in Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable[2] and glossed by the Oxford English Dictionary as meaning to make false claims, with the result that subsequent true claims are disbelieved.

I changed my mind and I want to take back my concession, this convoluted GoTo RA/Dec through using the favorites function is still not very useful. It only works if you are connected to the S50, which sort of defeats the purpose. You mostly need it to plan your future session, which normally happens during the day. You can store to favorites the target the S50 is pointing to, not the current point in SkyAtlas. It is something better than nothing, but not something very helpful.
