I have one and also a small dobsonian optical telescope and a larger, heavier astrophotography setup. The Seestar gets the most use out of all of them, mainly because of convenience.

It’s neat being able to set it up in the back yard and let it go for a few hours, unlike my other rig which takes ages to set up and needs a lot of babysitting. It also packs away into a tidy little case that doesn’t take much room in the car.

On the other hand you’re limited by the small aperture lens and the quality of the camera, compared to a larger rig.

There are rumours of a follow-up model to the S50 but no idea when that will be launched.
