Seestar赤道模式程式

1. 將Seestar更新到最新的軟體/韌體

2. 將三腳架調平到北極星

3. 把楔形角度設定在你的緯度上

4. 安裝Seestar，這樣它就會開啟，指向天空而不是地面

5. 開啟Seestar並連線。 確保在高階設定中允許水準校正

6. 去天空地圖集，挑選一顆明亮的星星，即天狼星

7. 前往觀星並選擇天狼星

8. 手動將Seestar指向天狼星

9. 按下紅色按鈕以啟動水準校正，又稱三星對齊

10. 這需要一段時間，但Seestar應該自己引導天狼星並使其居中心

11. 前往天空地圖集並同步

12. 去觀星並照常進行，已經進入EQ模式。

At least for that particular lens, it did not work.

FIRMWARE ISSUE

https://bbs.zwoastro.com/d/17958-161-firmware-update-failed

https://bbs.zwoastro.com/d/17961-unable-to-update-seestar-internal-firmware

the last update of the firmware of the Seestar (1.6.1) stops the application and the firmware's update fails. From now, I can't use my Seestar. I sent a bug report to ZWO and I am waiting for a solving.

Seestar and Equinox1 for EAA  https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/916071-seestar-and-equinox1-for-eaa/


 The Seestar is better at nebulae, perhaps because the built in filter does its job.
 The Seestar is also better with open clusters, largely because stars become quickly bloated with the Equinox.
 With galaxies I am not so sure.
I suspect the larger aperture of the Equinox would give it an advantage in a head to head contest,
but I was not dissatisfied with the results produced by the Seestar in the ideal conditions.

Yet there is one serious disadvantage with the Seestar.
In the absence of wind the Equinox rarely misses a frame when stacking whereas the Seestar is plagued with missed frames.
This is no doubt frustrating for astrophotographers,
 but for EAA it is almost a fatal flaw. Minutes can go by with little or no development.
