Seestar S30 Pro Total Solar Eclipse Edition: A Tribute to Totality
For the first time since 1999 Europe is set to witness the breathtaking return of a visible total solar eclipse. To honor this celestial event, ZWO is thrilled to introduce the new Seestar S30 Pro Total Solar Eclipse Edition. Far more than just a smart telescope designed to safely capture solar activity, this limited release showcases a stunning tribute to totality. ZWO has thoughtfully crafted every detail of this edition to reflect the inspiring experience of watching day transform into night, creating a collector’s piece for astronomy enthusiasts and stargazers alike!
Finished in a deep tea-black and boldly accented with premium gold silkscreen design. This artwork is directly inspired by the eclipse's two most iconic phenomena: Baily’s beads and the diamond ring effect. As sunlight slips through lunar valleys to create a fleeting chain of brilliant beads, it culminates in a final, dazzling burst of light against the solar corona—a moment captured across the chassis in elegant gold. We are proud to bring you this exclusive ZWO release, offering our community a flawless blend of effortless all-in-one astrophotography and a timeless design to memorialize this milestone. The Seestar S30 Pro Total Solar Eclipse Edition shares the same product specifications as the Seestar S30 Pro, with differences only in exterior design and commemorative features. See below for more information on technical specifications.

Galaxies to Landscapes all in 4K
A powerful dual-lens design pairs a 4K telephoto camera with a 4K wide-angle camera to cover everything from deep-sky targets to sweeping nightscapes. Featuring a Sony IMX585 telephoto sensor with a light-sensitive area 4x larger than the original S30, plus a wide-angle IMX586 sensor, the S30 Pro delivers higher resolution, lower noise, and cleaner, more natural images across four versatile imaging modes, from galaxies and nebulae to planets, Milky Way vistas, and landscapes in stunning 4K Ultra HD.
Ready To Be Taken Anywhere
Weighing just 1.65 kg (3.64 lbs), the S30 Pro proudly continues the Seestar line’s travel-ready reputation. Its lightweight, compact design makes it easy to pack, quick to set up, and effortless to use. Unlike traditional astrophotography rigs that require a separate telescope, mount, camera, guide system, computer, and a tangle of cables, the S30 Pro brings everything together in a all-in-one package. Whether you’re traveling to dark skies or stepping outside for a spontaneous observing session, the S30 Pro makes on-the-go imaging simple and stress-free!
Seamless Performance for the Everyday Astronomer
At the S30 Pro 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 a OIII and Hα filter to enhance nebula contrast! Topping it off with 128 GB of onboard storage, you can image continuously without interruptions or file-management hassles.
Your Personal Night Sky Guide
Easily identify over 80,000+ deep-sky objects and 600,000+ stars with one-click! The Seestar app lights up the night sky by instantly spotting and lableing constellations, showing you how the stars connect into those familiar patterns. Just tap GOTO to locate, track, and capture automatically, letting you grab stunning cosmic images in minutes. The AI-assistant allows use of simple voice commands to enjoy real-time guidance as you explore the night sky.
One-Tap Mosaic Images
The Seestar S30 Pro features built-in Milky Way stitching, automatically creating horizontal or vertical mosaics that expand your field of view far beyond a single frame, while preserving high-resolution detail. The telescope follows a planned mosaic grid, shooting continuously and seamlessly stitching the images together to produce grand, immersive visuals. Intelligently seperate and freeze the foreground from the stars, keeping the Milky Way sharp and free of trails while preserving a natural landscape! Each capture transcends the limits of a single frame, delivering expansive, breathtaking astrophotography with ease.
Effortless Post-Processing
With just a single tap, Seestar effortlessly reduces noise while keeping every delicate celestial detail intact, delivering clean, natural images with stunning clarity. Take it a step further with DBE (Dynamic Background Extraction) to smooth out uneven backgrounds, revealing sharper stars, richer nebulae, and cosmic scenes that truly pop. Your astrophotography has never looked this polished, and it’s all done in moments!
Plan It, Then Sleep On It
Choose your target and schedule in advance. Seestar takes care of the rest! The Seestar application automatically locates, tracks, captures, and refines the night sky for you. No need to stay up all night, never miss a spectacular celestial event.
Daytime Observation
The S30 Pro isn’t just a pocket-sized astrophotography powerhouse, it’s also an ultra telephoto camera for daytime use. From birdwatching, distant landscapes, rocket launches, Solar observation, and much more! Including photo, video, and time-lapse modes, Seestar quickly locks onto your subject and keeps smooth tracking. The S30 Pro captures the action, no matter how far away!
Equatorial Mode
Designed to counter Earth’s rotation, Equatorial Mode keeps celestial targets precisely tracked, so stars remain sharp and deep-sky objects stay steady in frame for longer exposures. (ZWO Tripod Head for Seestar Required but sold seperately)
Built to Expand
Seestar supports the ASCOM Alpaca open protocol, enabling compatibility with a wide range of third-party software, including NINA and more. From automated observing to fully tailored workflows, Seestar is more than a device. It’s an open platform, designed to grow with your ideas and expand what’s possible under the night sky.
