Seestar Companion 1.0.2 is now available After a short pause, I’m back with a new release of Seestar Companion — a desktop app designed for ZWO Seestar S30, S30 Pro and S50 users. Seestar Companion does not process images and does not replace PixInsight, Siril or DSS. Its purpose is different: it helps you understand how good your Seestar session really was, why, and how it compares to other nights. What it does • Reads Seestar session folders directly (no special exports) • Gives each session a quality score with a clear, human explanation • Takes into account integration time, target altitude, Moon impact and consistency • Lets you compare multiple nights on the same target • Exports clean PNG / social-ready summaries New in version 1.0.2 • Frame Quality Analysis (Good / Borderline / Not good) • Non-destructive workflow (original frames are never deleted) • Optional safe copy of analyzed frames into dedicated folders • UI refinements and clarity improvements The software is offline-first, multilingual, and actively developed based on community feedback. A macOS version is planned. I’ve just published the first official video overview explaining how it works and what’s new. More details are available on the Astro Imaging Toolbox website: astroimagingtoolbox dot com / seestar-companion As always, feedback from Seestar users is very welcome. Clear skies
🔭 Seestar Companion – v1.1 coming in the next 24–48 hours Over the last days I’ve been working on a new update with a simple goal: make Seestar Companion more flexible and more transparent, without changing your workflow. Version 1.1 introduces: • Support for custom data folders (HDD, NAS, backups, non-standard archives) • Dual input mode: standard Seestar folder structure or advanced custom archives • Optional non-destructive copy of analyzed frames (“Analyzed Session” with Good / Borderline / Not good) • Clearer explanations when all frames are classified as “Good” • Small UX and stability improvements This update is about infrastructure and clarity, not extra complexity: the goal is to better reflect real-world Seestar archives. Release is expected in the next 24–48 hours, as a free update for existing Seestar Companion users.
