When will German language support be available in the app?
When will the filter in Tonight's Best work?
This would be a really helpful feature.
This problems has existed since 2024.

Has this version fixed the clipped/black level regression problem seen on the sub frames?

Support@Seestar

3AC9bx99 yes!

Seestar_S50

If its not on the list then I don't think so, but one would hope they have listened to all the outcrys from the Seestar owners.🤣

What about broken dithering??

Every update is just like a roulette 🤭

FZS

Just two other suggestions for future updates.

Option for store image settings (DBE, brightness, contrast, saturation) in Stargazing mode. Now they are all reset to OFF or 0 when quitting Stargazing and should be re-adjusted before every new shoot session, so it would be welcome if the app could remember these settings.
Making integration time pre-adjustable in Stargazing mode. For example, if I would like to take an image of 18×10 sec (3min) of a star, it could be set previously and image enhancing (live stack) would automatically be stopped and image saved when 18×10 sec frames are stacked successfully.

Despite all the problems we as users have to deal with, I would like to thank ZWO for their support.

diegorodriguez

Donantello Totally agreed. The continued software upgrade keeps existing hardware updated, and that's a win win for ZWO (who does not need to enter an expensive fast new products cycle) and customers (who see their asset value mantained).

New update causing 'Target offset detected' error on every shot after about 20mins running

After 7.06 update the gain in Scenery Mode and Solar System mode is broken on my S30 Pro. Increasing it above 300 causes the image to become dark again until it's pitch black. Automatic exposure mode always puts at 100ms and 600gain with the image pitch black.
I use the Seestar for bird watching and plane spotting a lot so my Seestar is completely unusable now. I cannot do deep sky due to cloudy season.

Support@Seestar - Any word on the 95-100% fails for S30 Pro owners?

Nasa-HSIA

Support@Seestar I just try to photo Sun spots using solar mode with S50 and I have an issue for "auto-focus" function. I found that the autofocus function failed and could not focus. The firmware version used is V 3.1.1.

Chorge1972

Why is there still no Info about the images in the Album? Why don’t we still can’t change the Gain? Why still no dual view while star gazing? Why are the rejected files are not saved? SO MANY QUESTIONS AND IMPORTANT FEATURES STILL IGNORED….

Seestar_S50

They are all recovering from Chinese New Year celebrations - There are so many issues with the latest firmware/software to fix in a short time, dropping minor updates will not pacify the end users who have been waiting for all the issue that have been outstanding for months now. Other smart telescopes manufactures listen to the users and resolve much quickier.
I think I will cancle more S30 Pro order and go with Dwarf 3

Nasa-HSIA

Seestar_S50 How many S30 pro you have ordered?

Seestar_S50

Nasa-HSIA
I have 2 on order! Why?

Despite the latest firmware, it seems like seestar still do get some issue in tracking as seen on this video capture of my own attempt on orion nebula (DSO is drifting) resulting to drop frames as reported by some of users.

Orion nebula ALT was 49-55 deg W already.

Note: I can stretch 20 mins on objects in EAST (rising objects same ALT) on ALT AZ mode with minimal 5-10% drop only. So, to say this was some hardware issue like gear or motor issue is sort of impossible or even the open/close arm function will have some issue as well.

I have reported evidence the newest update DID NOT adequately address the horizontal streaking stars on S30Pro that happen way too often. Also, the decision made in December to try to support now three different telescopes in one app/firmware has left ZWO software team too confused. The dithering of the S50, which had been increased last April/May is now back to very little dithering. Results are unsurprising: bands of walking noise have returned.

A: please go back to what worked with the S50 dither.

B: let a lot of us know if we need to ask for exchanges, as the laxity/freeplay/backlash in the S30Pro is apparently NOT something you can adequately address with software/firmware gimmicks.

FZS

Jeff P However, increased dithering led to produce green halos around medium brightness bluish stars making them look green or yellow instead of bluish white...

Jeff P

FZS Please share more about your story of dither affecting star colours. I can show you walking noise all over a recent S50 shot. I can share evidence the dither they used prior to late December was multi-directional and much larger than now. I don't remember anyone relating dither to star color throughout 2025. You can reach me on ZWO Facebook pages - Jeff Parke
