Suggestion: add planning and scheduling for full automatic night observation

melachrino

It would elevate the Seestar S50 to another dimension, already being quite high, to be able to plan and schedule a night of observations, turn it on and let it do its magic while in the comfort of an indoor place in winter and of getting some restful shut eye.
Though NINA has a sequencer function, it is not compatible at present with S50. I would prefer that ZWO does it themselves since they have a very good code group.
I am delighted with this mini observatory.
Thank you.

Planned shoots to are already on the to-do list, and we'll be scheduling them as soon as possible.

Fantastic ! Take whatever time you need to do a fully comprehensive, simple to use, high quality and robust feature that plans, schedules and executes the subject observations automatically without requiring manual intervention once started.
Thank you.

Well, I don't think you should encourage ZWO to "take whatever time they need". It took them over 9 months from promising mosaic mode to delivering something that is quite underwhelming in my opinion. You may be young but I am an old man and I cannot afford waiting another 9 months for every new feature, and the list of requests is quite long.

So buy another telescope
Vespera II is great

satch984 Your suggestion is spot on, actually I am waiting to receive a Dwarf 3 as we speak.

My fellow starnet59, for the same reasons that you mention, I prefer that the Seestar S50 coders do a good, robust job because, in addition, I am not a beta tester. Been there, done that, no more. It takes time to adapt new code to achieve our request at the quality level desired. I did not infer to take their sweet time.
Cheers.
