Seestar FLATS and 60 second Shots Are FINALLY here!

Video Description

ZWO just dropped a major firmware update for the Seestar S50 and S30 — and it’s a game-changer. In this video, I’ll walk you through the two headline features: the long-awaited ability to shoot flat frames, and 60-second exposures in equatorial mode. I’ll show you how both work, compare different flat-taking methods, and share real results from the field. 📷 Gear Mentioned – Move Shoot Move wedge: https://bit.ly/4huZhBR – Tripod Screw Adapter: https://amzn.to/4hK7AtH Tripods I use for the 2 Seestars: – Heipi tripod: https://amzn.to/4kTTZ5P – PeakDesign tripod: https://amzn.to/4bZMxlr Considering a Seestar?
