Great to view sun with
I just bought these and wanted to leave this review first for the store. Every other Canadian store raised prices on these items since the introduction of the tariffs (along with many other products) which makes no sense as this product and many of the others are made in China. There is absolutely no need to raise the price on anything made outside USA. If you have a distributer in USA, it's time to change that and buy direct from the manufacturer and save Canadians some money! You have earned my permanent business because you refused to be greedy and falsely raise prices and attribute it to tariffs like some Ontario online shops have done recently. Will update the review when received and tested.
A great big light bucket that pulls in the faint objects.Also bought the starsense auto align which helps the strain on my neck. It aligns in a few minutes and goes to the target quickly.
Been wanting a scope for years and finally was in the position of purchasing. Still figuring it out but so far performing beyond my exptations. love it.
Great addition if you have room in your EFW. Good for plate solving and focusing routines
I really like having just RED lamp. All others, you have to click few times before switching to RED. eg, White, RED, Green then OFF.
Love this Celestron RED headlamp. highly recommend it.
I bought this telescope to give to my son for his birthday. He was dumbstruck by the gift and had trouble explaining his excitement, but I know that he will have many hours of enjoyment using it.
I am stunned by the performance of this small but amazing S30 Telescope. I have always loved astronomy but could never afford the high price of a powerful scope. But Seestar provided a way for me to engage the universe at a price I could afford. Love it!
Difficult to review the belt at this time as it is only in use 1 week
The price is high compared to the fragility of the filter.
It is a good tool for visual observation.
I had been looking at solar finders and found this. Since I have 2 of these Starpointers for both of my scopes, I can easily move it between both. No need for a separate finder mount
Have not been able to use it yet, but very easy to assemble and connect. Appears to be very well constructed! Nice little unit. Come on clear skies!
Although I ordered the wrong part, it arrived quickly. :)
I am using this camera to replace a modified Canon DSLR on my Celestron EdgeHD 8” SCT. I shoot galaxies and nebula and this camera has a similar FOV but greatly reduces noise. I am shooting F/10 and F/7 (with reducer) and will also use this camera with my William Optics RedCat 51 when a much wider field of view is needed. I bought the ZWO AC to DC Adapter (ZWO-DC12V5A) as well and this works flawlessly.
This is focussing a Sigma Art 85mm camera lens. Paired with the AsiAir pro, focusing is a breeze. Focussing is two stage, first is a manual ‘get it close’ focus using the AsiAir app with a live view provided by the camera. Then there is the fine tune option which is entirely automatic.
Amazing customer service!! Fast shipping!! Great and reliable company! Thanks a lot!!
Adjusting the camera angle was always such a pain that I just kept it at 180° and never deviated from that until now. The only negative feedback I can give is ZWO should have included the 54M-48F adapter ring. But the 54M-48F adapter plate that comes pre-installed on the CAA can be used if you're installing the CAA on something like a Redcat 51 or 71 and you're using an ASI2600mm/Mc pro. I tried it and it worked just fine. So you can save yourself the $30-40 it cost me to order the $17 adapter ring.
These binos have good field of view, are bright and clear but fussy about focusing. I had hoped for better mechanicals, a smoother action on the focusing wheel. The action is tight and the mechanism is not up to the demands of the optics. Depth of field is very shallow so it takes a lot of racking back and forth to get a sharp image. Great optics, poor mechanicals.
When I installed the QHY CCD minicam8 M, it displayed in N.I.N.A. as the colour version of the camera. Upon testing, I confirmed that it was in fact a mono camera and that the images appeared to be normal mono images.
I did have the camera freeze twice, and needed to reboot the system in order to return it to normal operation. I am in the process of updating all my software to ensure compatibility.
10/10 recommend. I had high expectations and it superseded those expectations
Canada post delivery could be faster for the price they charge for shipping. As for the product itself, very good quality, identical to the original.
