5BsvCcEv I have not used planned mode as I have not updated yet, but I generally let my little SeeStar S50 go until it either runs out of batteries or the object sets. In the morning it is always shut down with the arm down. From what I understand when the battery gets too low it does this automatically.

I do agree, however, that the plan mode should include a list of options at the end of a plan. Since the software can tell it to finish plan 1 and then go to plan 2, it could certainly tell it to fold up the arm and go to sleep, just like its owner.

      Version 2.3 Téléchargée ! Tout marche parfaitement ! merci beaucoup !

      1) is it possible to add auto power off at the end of the planned operation?
      2) on an hour of exposure I only get 15 min of stacking i got many fail stacking with mosaic mode :/ ( 10 sec shoots and good leveling 0.1-0.2)
      anyway i like seestar s50 a lot i cant w8 for eq mode 🙂

          More and more people use Seestar in Poland. When will Polish be added?

              Support@Seestar I tested it yesterday with my Seestar connected, and seems to be only a bug of the SkyAtlas screen. Skipping SkyAtlas and hitting GoTo directly from the object list after entering the Stargazing mode, it found Beta CMa correctly (that obviously was not Betelgeuse):

              Next time I have clear sky over Budapest I will also try it from the SkyAtlas to see if it will really go to Betelgeuse instead of Mirzam, or just displaying the wrong star.

                  tomzo You can set different times and the scheduled shots will automatically follow the time you choose (after all, you can't shoot multiple targets at the same time at the moment).

                    NGrZu2uS 1. You can choose by yourself whether or not to let Seestar shut down automatically.
                    There is a button at the bottom of the advanced function, when you turn it on, when the device ends the plan shooting device automatically home for 15 minutes, do not do anything to Seestar, the device will automatically shut down after 15 minutes.

                    1. Regarding this issue, please check if the star level calibration has been turned on and completed successfully (initialization of advanced features, don't choose to skip it), or please check the environment and target azimuth.
                      If the stacking rate is very low for many times, don't shut down the machine, please upload the log.

                      FZS Thank you for keeping an eye on this issue, I will contact our engineers after the holidays to confirm and follow up on the issue.

                          Can you please add a feature (logic?) so an SS attached to a power supply doesn't wrap around itself with the attached USB cable? Traditional EQ mounts don't have this issue like your AMN mounts and others.

                            jayszwo we noticed this, and will try to optimize this as soon as possible.

                              jayszwo This has been asked here many times before. People have suggested various solutions, like magnetically coupled USB cables, I have one of those but I never had an issue with tangled cables. I have a lot of trees around and I only see a relatively small area of the sky so I never move between targets very far away so this is not an issue for me. But I do see how this could be a problem if you had an open sky and moved around a lot, especially when in unattended plan mode.

                              It would be of course trivial to keep count of the number of turns the S50 has made and decide to turn in the opposite direction to avoid tangling the cable, even if going the other way is faster. What is funny is that I have seen the S50 actually go the long way around sometimes when moving from target to target, but that seems to be random and has nothing to do with USB cable detangling.

                                  I'm not sure if this is a regression in the 2.3 version but I haven't noticed it in previous versions. I have deactivated the automatic start of image stacking after approaching a target. Now I am observing the following behavior:

                                  I choose a nebula (e..g, M1) as target. The LP filter is activated automatically. Then I start image stacking by pressing the large red record button. While the Seestar does the necessary steps (horizontal calibration, preparation of image stacking, autofocusing), it deactivates the LP filter. Then it starts image stacking without activating the LP filter again. So, I have to stop image stacking, activate the LP filter manually and start image stacking again.

                                  Has anyone else noticed this behavior? Or is this a known issue @Tech@ZWO?

                                    starnet59 Another interesting solution for the USB cable tangling problem is to attach the USB power pack to the body of the S50, immediately above the power button, and use a very short USB cable. This would make even more sense in EQ mode, when it would actually improve the balance of the telescope. 3D printing such a holder is easy but I was not able to find an S50 3D model, so I am working on one in Fusion360 as we speak. Once I have that, creating accessories to mount on the S50 should be easy.

                                            x18NgyL8 this has happened to me everytime, I have to cancel shooting and reactivate the filter and then restart shooting.
