Nothing relaxes me more than a nighttime astrophotography session in my backyard. Since the start of the year, I’ve been testing a new smart telescope: the Seestar S30 Pro. While it looks almost identical to the Seestar S30 I used last year, the nebulas, galaxies, and star clusters I’ve captured look far more polished thanks to the upgraded hardware.
It all stems from the Sony IMX585 (STARVIS 2) sensor in its telephoto lens. Unlike the standard S30, it delivers full 4K resolution and vastly superior dynamic range. At the same time, the larger sensor yields a much wider field of view, allowing it to capture larger deep-space objects — like the Horsehead and Flame nebulas — in their entirety.
