Purchase and am still waiting for a clear night to try it out. Hopefully sometime soon.
Works great in the basement !
Looking forward to learning the ins and outs of this camera. Just need a clear night that's not snowing or threatening to .
Great experience
I got around my last stretch of tumbling cycles with the pellets and they are excellent. After these 4 cycles, they're barely rounded and certainly usable for more projects to come
I would love to leave a review, but I haven’t seen a clear night sky since getting the scope. I did get the sun though - it gets 4 stars!
A great little tumbler 3 lb drum,,, runs smooth and not too noisy. Awaiting you to get the twin barrel one back in stock!!! Merry Christmas to everyone at All Star Telescope
Hi there, sorry I messed up the stars on my original review, its meant to be 5 stars for this Seestar30, and cant figure out how to edit that. Anyways, my original comments still stand, its a great unit, easy to use, imaging is great for what it is with the focal length, aparature and sensor size ! And for the price its a great entry into astrophotography that my kids and I will love for years.
This little smartscope is great. Finally had some clear sky for a few hours and Im impressed! Very easy to set up and use with the Seestar app.
I’ve purchased many items from All-Star and everything is always on time and as expected.
Though I’ve only been able to take this dob out a few times due to weather and time constraints, it’s been a great experience so far. The Flextube is much easier to maneuver in and out of the house and much easier to fit in my vehicle as well. Everything seems well built and it was easy to collimate. The included eyepieces seem good, though I don’t have much to compare them to as a beginner. I was also pleasantly surprised to see that the secondary mirror had thumbscrews already installed so no tools required for collimation. Not sure if this is a recent unadvertised upgrade or I just got lucky somehow. It is a bit front-heavy when fully extended so you do have to tighten the tension handle quite a bit when pointing at objects low in the sky. I might look into adding some counter weights on the back. Overall I’m happy with this scope.
Solid product, well made and easy to use. Great service as always from the All-star Team.
Works great with my phone to take pics of the universe,,,solidly built,,good price,, got it in a few days too!!! Good work All Star Telescopes
I use this Counterweight for ZWO AM5 mount it work great and easy to remove as needed
Unfortunately, after buying a QHY OAG - S, I quickly learned that QHY often does not play well with others when it comes to their products. The QHY OAG S can only be used with other QHY devices via a ****-on approach, and the included M42 adapters are not only often mandatory, but they are often the wrong size (depth) to be used properly with other products, adding unanticipated backspacing to your optical train.
The M3 **** sizes and placements are also not compatible with many other optical train products outside the QHY line. Also, the QHY OAG S, at least, is too small to fit with most larger filter drawers, and it is completely non-adjustable in any way that might fix this problem. Finally, you'll find that the manuals are very much not helpful (assuming you can find them online I. The first place) and adapter sets that can "fix" your problem are sold by QHY... assuming you are already using one of their cameras, as even these adapter sets are not intended to be compatible with non-QHY brand items.
If I had to do it again, I'd buy the ZWO OAG, which at least has a little adaptability. I don't like ZWO products, but their OAG at least screws on as advertised. But I definitely can't, and will never, recommend the QHY OAG S unless you already have totally QHY optical train already...it just won't work. I had to apply a deeply unanticipated amount of creativity (and additional funds) to get mine even sort-of working. That said, thanks to the good folks at All-Star for helping me through.
Fits perfectly on a LORTONE 6 or 12 pound lid.
Is exactly as described and fits perfectly.
Fits nice and tight. No leaking from barrel
It does the job, it's a snug fit for my Nexstar 6se if I don't remove the pieces on top.. not a huge deal. All the extras fit nicely in the storage compartments anyway.
Easy to install. Works well with my ASIAir. Only used once so far. Looking forward to clear skies to really test it out. Thanks for having them in stock.
The team at All-Star Telescope Canada has been a great help! They responded to questions and emails that I’ve had and helped guide me along my tumblin’ way! I will be purchasing from this site again! :D
