AI Image Enhancement

Easily create images that 'pop', widen your perspective, and seamlessly blend elements, with an astronomy AI copilot! This on-board electronic intelligence can effortlessly enhance your final images, intelligently processing your image to bring out detail and dynamic contrast, applying advanced noise reduction algorithms, and equalizing gradients. This makes nebulae shimmer and galaxies glimmer, without hours spent in the editing room! This digital companion can also identify foreground objects to automatically blend the night sky and horizon in Milky Way photos, or track wildlife during the day for relaxed nature photography and observation.

4K Wide Angle Lens

The ZWO S30 series introduced a second perspective to their excellent smart telescope line, and with the Pro ZWO has taken a step back, with a more expansive 63 wide-angle view! This brings you two distinct perspectives for an exciting and varied experience day and night! Image the night sky with the new wide-angle stacking capabilities, rendering the beautiful belt of the Milky Way in sharp 4K detail with the Sony IMX586 sensor, or explore more Earthly gems during the day and hone in on your wide angle finds with the main lens!

Pro Feature Set, Easily Accessible!

The ZWO Seestar S30 Pro brings you easy exploration and effortless imaging, but its smarts are anything but simple! Take a look to see all the power ZWO has packed into this compact scope to make exciting exploration and stunning astro shots accessible!

4K Quad APO Main Optic

For incredibly sharp, vibrant, dynamic, and excellently corrected images, ZWO has paired premium optics with a renowned 4K imaging sensor. Fittingly, the S30 Pro brings you the first Seestar imaging sensor with ties to their powerful Pro camera line: the Sony IMX585. This sensor has developed a stellar reputation, with its high 8.29 MP resolution, large 40Ke full well depth, and excellent <91% QE performance. This has been paired with a 30 mm f/5.3, 160 mm focal length quadruplet APO optic featuring an ED element for superb color control, sharp detail, and stunning contrast. This pairing is made even more powerful, with built-in auto-focus, anti-dew heater, and an internal filter wheel. With this powerful combination you can create captivating high-resolution portraits of stellar objects that are sure to stun!

4K 63 FOV Secondary Lens

The S30 Pro gives you a more expansive view than before, with a secondary set of optics providing a wide 63 field of view! This gives you approximately 40 more than the prior generation, for a more varied optical compliment to the main quad APO optic. Behind this auto-focus equipped, fast 3.4 mm f/1.75, 6mm focal length wide-angle lens is a Sony IMX586 sensor, allowing you to capture sprawling astronomical landscapes in high resolution 4K. With new Live Stack, Milky Way, and Star Trail modes with RAW image supportx, the Seestar S30 Pro opens you up to a whole new set of astrophotography possibilities! With these new modes in mind ZWO has rotated the IMX586 vertically, allowing you to create compelling hybrids of land and starry sky that better emphasize the wonder above, and create images that are social media sharing ready!

Advanced Features

While the Seestar S30 Pro's incredible accessibility is excellent for beginners and those looking for a more relaxed experience, this smart scope shines for advanced users as well! The main optic's internal filter wheel comes equipped with not just the standard UV/IR cut filter, but also a Duo-Band with 20 nm Ha and 30 nm OIII bandpass, and a dark filter. These allow for calibration, and better isolation of emission targets to help enhance images. These images can be offloaded in FITS format as well, giving advanced users the options to manually process images for additional control over the final product! Mosaic mode allows for an even wider take through the main optic or the secondary in deep sky and Milky Way modes, able to stich up to four panels into an 8K image. You can plan these compelling shots in advance with the target planning feature, allowing you to set up a night of imaging during the day and letting Seestar take over when night falls. EQ modex allows users to polar align the Seestar S30 Pro to lock in image framing and push exposure times out to 60 seconds! Finally, for those looking to exert ultimate control over this smart telescope, ZWO has added ASCOM Alpaca support to allow PC software suites to wirelessly connect to and control the Seestar S30 Pro!

xPlease Note: Polar alignment requires the use of a pan/tilt tripod, specialty head like the ZWO Tripod Head, or wedge. These are sold separately.

On-Board AI for Image Enhancement

Alongside Seestar's incredibly approachable user interface sits an AI companion to make incredible astrophotography images even more accessible! It starts with just a tap: simply touch the AI icon and relax while the Seestar S30 Pro's applies intelligent processing techniques to your image. In just minutes your image details will be clearer thanks to the AI de-noising with star point quality optimization, starker with the new Dynamic Background Extraction (DBE) smoothing out gradients, and 'punchier' with the advanced post-processing adjustments. This teases out detail, sets your subject against a velvety dark backdrop, and increases contrast, without the time and additional software needed for traditional processing! Control is in your hands, with the use of AI de-noising and/or DBE in the automated processing optional. Finally, for a hands-off experience ZWO is integrating an AI voice assistant, allowing you to simplify operationx!

Solar Imaging and Nature Exploration

The Seestar S30 Pro doesn't just shine in the dark, with a host of daytime features! For astrophotography in the sunshine, a magnetic solar filter is included to allow you to capture the closest starx. This reveals some of the wonders of our Sun, capturing Sun spots on its surface through the main set of optics! The S30 Pro also allows you to explore your environment and capture still & video with Scenery Mode, giving a closer look at landmarks and nature. The integrated AI additionally brings you object tracking, which can help keep your optics trained on wildlife. With a day multi-panel stitching mode planned, your daytime experience with Seestar will continue to evolvexx!

xDo not point the Seestar S30 Pro at the Sun without the solar filter installed. Failure to securely and properly install this filter can damage the imaging sensor.

WiFi, Bluetooth, and NFC Connectivity

With WiFi, Bluetooth, and NFC, setting up and controlling your Seestar S30 Pro is simple. NFC makes pairing as simple as tapping your NFC equipped device to Seestar, skipping searching for wireless access points and streamlining start up! To control Seestar, WiFi 2.4 Ghz, 5 Ghz, and Bluetooth allow you to optimize your connection for a variety of situations and environments. Opt for maximum range with 2.4 Ghz, cut through noisier locations and increase data throughput with 5 Ghz, or maintain your internet connection with Bluetooth!
