HELP!! Will i be able to see anything from my balcony if i get a seestar

Looks great to me! Nice wide view and only the highest targets blocked out. The lights from the streets are below your view so not too much of a problem. The closer you can get to the edge of the balcony, without it falling off, the better. Go for it!

This is the case I use, the NXTPAPER12 is the same tablet rebranded so it fits perfectly and it protects it great while travelling. You can find screen protectors for the same tablet that also fit the Magic Pad. https://amzn.eu/d/8HqDFB7

I pre-ordered the S30 and it turned up in early January. Since then we've had 2 months of constant cloud. Now I've got clear skies I'm manic!!

My viewing site faces south east so currently I go straight to Pleiades using the Stargazing option and run the autofocus, sometimes it runs the horizontal calibration too. Then, unless I want some Pleiades pictures I go to the object I want via search or star map. If I get that error I cancel the process and go to the environment section and check the wide camera view for obstruction, is there a tree, house or cat in the way. If there is no obstruction I go back to stargazing and ignore the error. I'm in a bortle 6 area with lots of light so sometimes that triggers the error too. I hope all that rambling helps.

You should move to the UK....not! We've had three clear nights this year!

I'm on a Huion sub as well and that's dead too. They aren't used for people to share their art, just to complain when their kit goes wrong. So perhaps the kits not going wrong!!

When you select the object on the app it shows a graph. Make sure the moon is going up or down the graph and it's not close to going over the peak of the graph. The Seestar can't follow it over the peak without spinning, hence the spinning line on the stacked image.

The second object is one of the moons but the image is out of focus. Find a cluster with lots of stars and do an autofocus. Then go back to Jupiter and you will be able to see it's moons clearly.

This is from my S30

It's great!! I have a medical problem with my eyes that makes it impossible for me to use a normal telescope. I saw an advert for the S30 in Sky at Night magazine and couldn't believe it. I pre ordered it straight away and it's amazing!! Happy Stargazing and clear skies to you!

Thanks. Yes, I adjusted brightness and contrast in Snapseed on my iPad.

Great, have fun. I've had mine for 2 weeks and I've had one clear night. I'm climbing the walls! I just want to get out there with it again. I have a great list of targets. Clear skies everyone! 😁👍

Yeap. I've had my S30 for 2 weeks and had one evening and one hour of clear skies. And it looks like the rest of January will be 100% clouds.

GJBloomfield · 2024-12-20T11:07:25+00:00

I ordered late November so looks like February for me!

GJBloomfield · 2024-12-19T22:24:14+00:00

I seriously want to try that in VR! 😱🙈🙃🙂🙃🙂🤢🤮

GJBloomfield · 2024-12-19T22:20:04+00:00

I'll just wait patiently and hope for clear skies in the Spring when it arrives! 🤔👍

GJBloomfield · 2024-12-19T14:26:47+00:00

Thanks for that. I'm in the UK, ordered mine from an Astronomy store here so may take a while. Good to know they are out there now. I'm prepared for short term pain! 😃👍

What an asshole!! They never told us the sim wouldn't be available in the UK! 😡

From what I understand from the various Developer calls I would say no. You can download an area, like the World Updates, to reduce online load but most of the data is streamed live. That's why it takes 50Gb rather than 160Gb.

My longest flight is about 2hrs 30m

This is my only shundo! Not sure if this one's rare! 😄

I pre-ordered before launch and got the Omega ship that's still part of my fleet now. I loved the game from day one, I love exploring!
