Seestar S50 is a triplet APO (including one piece of ED glass) with excellent control of chromatic aberration. Focal ratio F5. Focal length 250mm. The imaging performance is as good as a professional refractor of the same aperture.

In one place this page states that it has an equatorial mount and then further down the page it says an Alt-Azimuth mode mount. Which is it?

What is the resolution / megapixels of the sensor?

Milan – :
1) How does the Seestar deal with field rotation?
2) If it doesn’t use a mechanical rotator, can it function well while tilted toward the celestial pole or does it need to be fairly level?
3) What is the range of exposure times?
4) Is the Seestar designed to accept standard 2” filters in front of the objective or does it use proprietary filters or are there internal filters? (If internal, please list them.)
5) Can it be used with narrowband filters?
6) Can the Seestar be used for solar imaging?
7) Can the Seestar be used for planetary imaging?
8) What is the fov?
9) How are image files saved?
10) Does the Seestar produce .fits files that can be post-processed?

Will it be possible to process the photos in any astrophotography program on the computer? Or will the phone image be the final one?… And another question, will it be compatible with the filters to reduce light pollution? This is in the event that I cannot have very dark skies…
