Performance for the Everyday Astronomer
At the S30 Plus's core is a 4-element apochromatic lens with extra-low dispersion glass, to minimize chromatic aberration and deliver sharp, round stars and neutral backgrounds. Active anti-dew control regulates lens temperature to prevent condensation during long sessions, keeping optics consistent in cold or humid conditions. The built-in 3-filter system optimizes every capture with a dark filter, UV/IR blocking, and an OIII and Hα filter to enhance nebula contrast!
Capture the Milky Way with Ease
The Seestar S30 Plus makes capturing the beauty of the Milky Way simple with its wide-field imaging capabilities. Capture stunning star fields, detailed night skies, and beautiful Milky Way scenes with minimal effort. Its automated imaging features simplify the process, making wide-field astrophotography accessible to beginners and experienced users alike.
Please Note: The S30 Plus does not support wide-angle mosaic stitching, Milky Way panorama stitching, or Milky Way arch capture.
Intelligent Constellation Recognition & Celestial Database
Explore the night sky effortlessly with Seestar’s intelligent constellation recognition and extensive celestial object database. Identify constellations with a single tap, complete with labeled stars and constellation lines. Simply select a constellation or celestial target in the app and use the GOTO function to automatically locate and track it. Seestar makes discovering and capturing the wonders of the night sky easy for beginners and experienced astronomers alike!
Frame the Night Your Way
Starry Sky Mode offers multiple Milky Way stitching and composition options for capturing expansive nightscapes. Intelligent foreground detection processes the landscape separately from the sky, keeping stars sharp while the foreground remains clear and natural for detailed astro-landscape images.
Plan and Automate Your Imaging Sessions
Set your imaging plan once and let Seestar handle the rest! It can shoot throughout the night, automatically switching between multiple targets according to your schedule for a more efficient and effortless imaging experience.
Go Deeper with Equatorial Mode
60s long exposures are supported only in Equatorial Mode, not in Alt-Azimuth Mode. They require high tracking accuracy. In Equatorial Mode, very precise polar alignment is needed to maintain that accuracy. Inaccurate alignment may reduce imaging efficiency. Actual performance may vary.

These figures are for reference only. Frequent operation and keeping a phone continuously connected to the device can affect battery life. Actual battery life may vary.
Convenient NFC Connectivity & Built-In Storage
Enjoy quick and easy connectivity with NFC-enabled smartphones for a more convenient Seestar setup. Simply enable Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, and GPS on your unlocked phone, then tap the device's NFC detection area to connect. The Seestar also features 64 GB of internal storage, with approximately 45 GB available for storing your astrophotography images and videos.
Please Note: NFC compatibility varies by phone model. Certain older iPhones and Android devices may not be supported. If the Seestar's Wi-Fi name is changed, the NFC information must be updated. Available storage may vary depending on system updates.
Remote Control
Connect to Your Starry-Sky Device from Anywhere. Keep remote devices under control so weather, location, and time no longer limit your imaging efficiency. Connect remotely to observe, capture, and organize files with ease. Whether your local sky is cloudy, heavily light-polluted, or in daylight, you can connect to a device in a better observing location and keep creating.
Open Compatibility
Supports the open ASCOM Alpaca protocol and connects to third-party astronomy software such as N.I.N.A., expanding automated observation and advanced imaging workflows. From a smart stargazing device to an open astronomy creation platform.

Up to 6 Hours of Battery Life
Battery life was measured in ZWO laboratory tests at 25°C: approximately 6 hours in Stargazing Mode (image enhancement and celestial tracking enabled, anti-dew function off), and approximately 4 hours recording video in Scenery Mode (object tracking off, MP4 format). These figures are for reference only. Frequent operation and keeping a phone continuously connected to the device can affect battery life. Actual battery life may vary.
Convenient NFC Connectivity & Built-In Storage
Enjoy quick and easy connectivity with NFC-enabled smartphones for a more convenient Seestar setup. Simply enable Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, and GPS on your unlocked phone, then tap the device's NFC detection area to connect. The Seestar also features 64 GB of internal storage, with approximately 45 GB available for storing your astrophotography images and videos.
Please Note: NFC compatibility varies by phone model. Certain older iPhones and Android devices may not be supported. If the Seestar's Wi-Fi name is changed, the NFC information must be updated. Available storage may vary depending on system updates.
Remote Control
Connect to Your Starry-Sky Device from Anywhere. Keep remote devices under control so weather, location, and time no longer limit your imaging efficiency. Connect remotely to observe, capture, and organize files with ease. Whether your local sky is cloudy, heavily light-polluted, or in daylight, you can connect to a device in a better observing location and keep creating.
Open Compatibility
Supports the open ASCOM Alpaca protocol and connects to third-party astronomy software such as N.I.N.A., expanding automated observation and advanced imaging workflows. From a smart stargazing device to an open astronomy creation platform.

Solar Safety: A solar filter must be installed when observing the Sun. Never point the telescope's main camera directly at the Sun without a solar filter, as this will damage the device.
Weather Note: If the weather changes unexpectedly during a planned capture session, such as overcast skies, rain or strong winds, the task cannot be completed and the device will not shut down automatically. Check the expected weather conditions for the night before setting up a plan.
