Option to switch between live image and stacked image.

Brille

I often leave the Seestar S50 running overnight while I'm at home or already in bed. When I check my tablet from time to time, I often wish I could switch from the stacked image to the single image that has just been captured to check whether the visibility is still good or whether clouds are already gathering and I can cancel the session. Until now, I've always had to get up and look at the sky to do this. The ability to switch from the stacked image to the current live image at the touch of a button would make this much easier.

Tech@ZWO

You can see if there are clouds in the real-time stacking view, so you don't need to check individual saved images, as this is real-time stacking

Tech@ZWO No, that's not quite right. In Live View, I see the composed sum image stacked from all the images taken so far. But if, for example, the sky, which has been clear for two hours, suddenly becomes cloudy at the current moment and rain is possibly on the way, I don't see that there. It would be great to be able to switch the display from the composite image to the current single image.
PS.: I accidentally posted this in the wrong forum. Can it be moved to the Seestar forum?

Brille Have you tried connecting to the SMB share of the Seestar? The single frames of the stack are progressively saved in the object_sub directory in three copies: fit,jpeg full and jpeg thumbnail. The jpeg can be opened with any app supporting SMB shares, even when directly connected to the seestar wifi.

Hope it helps.

francescoCh Unfortunately, since the last update, SMB connections to the S50 via Wi-Fi are no longer supported in Windows 11, only via USB, so that doesn't help here.

Tech@ZWO

Brille When you say "WiFi won't connect," what specifically happens? Can you not find the WiFi network, fail to connect to it, or is it another issue?

Brille

Tech@ZWO Of course, I can connect the Seestar S50 via WiFi and capture images using the app, but Windows 11 no longer allows me to establish a network connection via //seestar (or http://192.168.xxx.xxx), as Windows now asks for a username and password. This has been the case since the last Windows update and has already been discussed in the Seestar forum.

@Brille Have you tried this
[https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/filecab/accessing-a-third-party-nas-with-smb-in-windows-11-24h2-may-fail/4154300](https://)?
Solved for me, but I'm also still on 24H2.
TLDR:
run gpedit.exe as administrator

Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings> Local Policies > Security Options
Disable "Microsoft network client: Digitally sign communications (always)"
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates> Network > Lanman Workstation
Enable "insecure guest logons"
That allows smb access to anything that offers unsigned guest access, such as the Seestar.
