Bring the night sky to life with a compact powerhouse

This compact but impressively capable smart telescope takes a clear step forward. The Seestar S30 Pro combines two 4K-resolution observation modes, a quadruplet APO main optics and improved AI performance to a system that gets noticeably more out of the night sky.

Whether you want to capture deep-sky objects with minimal effort, or are looking for more control with more professional functions, this smart telescope grows with you. From nebulae and star clusters to broad structures in our Galaxy: you bring them into sharp, detailed focus wherever you observe.

Its power is not only in its performance, but also in its convenience. You set it up quickly, let the software do the heavy lifting, and meanwhile enjoy razor-sharp astronomical images that were previously possible only with much larger setups.

With the ZWO Seestar S30 Pro take impressive astrophotos in just a few taps on your screen. In a compact body weighing less than 2 pounds, about the size of a book, there is a surprising amount of technology: advanced astro-AI, multiple 4K image sensors, apochromatic optics, built-in motors and filters, and smart software that does the heavy lifting for you.

You explore the universe without fuss. From detailed nebulae and galaxies to wide shots of the Galaxy, and even objects closer to home: the Seestar automatically focuses, focuses, and immediately starts collecting and combining images. Within minutes, you'll see details appear that are normally only achievable with more complex setups.

The strength of this smart telescope lies in its combination of simplicity and control. The automatic stacking, AI-assisted image processing and an extremely simple start-up procedure make astrophotography accessible even if you don't have a technical background. At the same time, features such as schedule recordings, RAW files and a EQ mode for those who want more influence on the end result.

Whether you are looking for maximum performance in a compact form, or just a relaxed way to capture the universe without settings stress: the ZWO Seestar S30 Pro adapts to your level and way of observing.

What's new about the Seestar S30 Pro?

The ZWO Seestar S30 Pro is not a minor update, but a clear further development of the original S30 platform. The telescope remains equally compact, light and portable, but delivers noticeably more performance. Consider higher resolution, better optics, smarter AI processing, a additional observation mode and expanded connectivity and storage.

AI image enhancement

Built-in astronomical AI lets you create images with more depth and contrast without manual post-processing. This on-board intelligence analyzes each shot and automatically optimizes details, dynamic range and background gradients. Advanced noise reduction is applied while preserving subtle textures, so nebulae and galaxies stand out more clearly.

The AI additionally recognizes objects in the foreground, so that in Milky Way shots, the starry sky and horizon are automatically merged naturally. During the day, the same system can be used for relaxed nature and landscape observation, where moving objects such as animals can be tracked without complex settings.

4K wide-angle lens

With the S30 series, ZWO already introduced a second camera perspective, but the S30 Pro clearly goes further in this regard. The wide-angle camera offers an impressive 63° field of view, allowing you to capture a much broader part of the sky or environment.

This second camera makes it possible to stack starry sky shots at wide angle, with sharp 4K details thanks to the Sony IMX586 sensor. This is ideal for Milky Way photography and wide star fields. During the day, use the same wide angle to explore landscapes or nature, then easily switch to the main camera to bring specific details closer.

Professional features, easily accessible

The ZWO Seestar S30 Pro makes stargazing and astrophotography remarkably easy, and all while there's an impressive amount of technology under the hood. Put the telescope down, launch the app, and within a few taps it automatically aligns to your target. No manual alignment, no settings stress. Just look ... and capture!

4K Quad APO main optics

ZWO combines the powerful Sony IMX585 4K sensor with a 30 mm f/5.3 quadruplet APO lens and an ED lens element. The result? Sharp stars, well-controlled colors and a high-contrast image that is instantly convincing.
With autofocus, anti-dew heater and a internal filter wheel this main optic is always ready to reveal details even when conditions are less than perfect.

4K wide-angle lens (63° field of view)

Want to not just view the sky, but really experience it? The second camera with a 63° large field of view lets you capture huge chunks of the night sky. Think of the Milky Way stretching out across your entire image, or impressive star trails that emerge naturally during stacking.
Thanks to the Sony IMX586 4K sensor and auto-focus appear wide sky panoramas in stunning sharpness.

Advanced features

The Seestar S30 Pro is packed with smart extras: a internal filter wheel with UV/IR cut, duo-band (H-alpha & OIII) and dark filter, mosaic recording up to 8K, and even a EQ mode For longer exposures up to 60 seconds.
Want even more control? Export your images as FITS files or control the telescope wirelessly via ASCOM Alpaca. Anything goes and nothing must!

AI image enhancement

With one tap, you put the built-in AI to work. Noise is suppressed, backgrounds are leveled and details stand out. Within a few shots, you see structures appear that normally only become visible after long post-processing.
Nebulae glow, galaxies gain depth - the wonders above, in just a few exposures!

Fully equipped smart telescope

Automatic alignment, plate solving, tracking and Live Stack ensure that your object stays neatly in focus while the detail slowly builds up. You literally see the image grow, shot after shot, without having to adjust anything.

Remote access via Seestar Network (beta)

With the new Seestar Telescope Network you can access the night sky wherever you are. Simply follow the instructions in the app to connect your Seestar to the network. As long as you S30 Pro is turned on and connected, you can remotely control the telescope and start recordings.

This makes ZWO's most portable smart telescope even more flexible: your telescope is outside under the stars while you watch and steer from another location.

Please note that this feature is currently in beta phase.

Not only impressive at night

During the day, the Seestar S30 Pro is just as versatile. With the included magnetic solar filter capture sunspots safely. In Scenery mode use the telescope for landscapes, nature and video shooting, with optional AI object tracking.

Small size, great freedom

Weighing only 1.65 kg, a compact design and a built-in 6000 mAh battery take this telescope with you wherever you go. Set it down at the campsite, in the garden or on vacation and stay until 6 hours photographing, far from home and light pollution.

Smartly connected

Thanks to WiFi (2.4 & 5 GHz), Bluetooth and NFC connecting is so done. Open the Seestar app, choose an object from the 4000+ object database, and let the telescope do the work. Discovery has never been so easy!.

Easy to use app

With the Seestar app powerful features are always at your fingertips. The app is available for Android and iOS and gives you full control of all the S30 Pro's intelligence. With just a few taps, you select recommended objects based on your location, or explore the night sky on your own via the SkyAtlas To schedule your observation session.

The built-in database contains more than 4,000 objects, including background information on popular causes. That way, each session is not only visually impressive, but also educational.
