How does ZWO SeeStar S30 Pro differ from most telescopes?

Techstination feature for Friday, July 3, 2026

Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.  I’m Fred Fishkin.  He is the co-author of Sizing Up the Universe and Welcome to the Universe in  3D, a Princeton professor and as an astronomer and astrophotographer, has infectious enthusiasm.    And while Bob Vanderbei has taken astounding deep space images wheeling out telescopes and computer gear onto his driveway in New Jersey, these days he is relying frequently on a SeeStar S30 Pro..

“The whole technology is so modern, advanced, so easy.  You just take this thing out, you set it down, and just push the on button.  You go inside, you open up the app on your iPad, and then it suggests which things to take pictures of.”

Or search for whatever you’d like.  And the SeeStar S30Pro is priced at under 700 dollars.  Bob  has a great gallery online too.  (https://vanderbei.princeton.edu/images/SeeStar/index.html)   Find more info at US.SeeStar.com.
