Discover the Seestar S30: your observatory, as big as a book
Neatly packaged in an ultra-compact housing and weighing only 1.65 kg, the ZWO Seestar S30 in 2025 one of the most portable smart telescopes on the market. Inside this small but powerful device you will find a advanced dual-lens optical system, a modern Sony Starvis 2 sensor with back-illuminated pixel technology, a fully automatic alt-azimuth mount with GoTo function, wireless control and image processing directly in the app.
Start the Seestar S30, connect, calibrate briefly, and you can immediately begin your exploration of the night sky. Lay out the spiral arms of the Andromeda System fixed, admire the detailed relief of the Moon, or discover countless other deep-sky objects.
The Seestar does not stop at sunset: in the day mode zoom in on distant buildings, landscapes or animals. Thanks to the double lens construction you can capture both near and wide images, while the included sun filter enables safe observations of our nearest star.
Whether it's day or night, with the Seestar S30 All-in-One Smart Telescope there is always something new to see.
The Seestar S30 All-in-One Smart Telescope combines high-quality triplet APO optics with Super ED glass, a Sony STARVIS 2 sensor and a powerful live stacking algorithm. This means that in a short period of time, you can take razor-sharp and colorful images of deep-sky objects such as the Orion Nebula and the Lagoon Nebula; details that are barely visible to the naked eye suddenly appear full of color on your screen.
With built-in AI image processing, the Seestar automatically removes noise and enhances contrasts, so you don't have to spend hours on post-processing. You get instantly impressive astrophotos, ready to share.
Not only for distant objects in space, but also for landscapes
Thanks to the dual-lens design can the Seestar S30 All-in-One Smart Telescope not only capture distant sky objects, but also earth photography and wide panoramas. The built-in 1080p wide-angle camera expands your field of view up to 90 times wider, allowing you to capture entire landscapes, skylines and horizon images in a single shot. This wide-angle mode is also useful for finding celestial objects: simply tap the point you want to explore in the wide view, and the Seestar S30 automatically focuses its 30 mm main lens in that area for a close-up. Whether you want to explore the night sky or capture things during the day, with the Seestar S30 the world, as well as the universe, is literally at your fingertips.
This smart feature is still being developed further; ZWO is working on improved recognition of different types of objects. So keep an eye on the updates in the app for more information on this new addition to the already impressive capabilities of the Seestar S30.
Summary: The Seestar S30 smart telescope is a compact, all-in-one solution for anyone who wants to discover and capture the night sky without prior knowledge. This telescope locates objects by itself, focuses automatically and takes stacked astrophotos in the app that you can instantly save or share.
With the press of a button you can photograph nebulae, galaxies and star clusters, even from a light-polluted backyard. Thanks to wireless control via the Seestar app, everything goes smoothly: alignment, tracking and photography are fully automatic.
The Seestar S30 is ideal for beginners, intermediate and hobby photographers who want to try astrophotography without a technical barrier. You get quick results even without experience. Suitable for deep-sky objects and the sun. Less suitable for planetary observations and there is no manual observation via eyepieces.
