ZWO Seestar S30 Plus All-in-One Smart APO Telescope & Tripod

From Deep Sky Wonders to Everyday Moments. Capture It All.

Four imaging modes to bring the universe and everyday discoveries into clear view: Stargazing mode, Milky-way mode, Solar System mode and Scenery mode.

A Universe in Your Backpack. Travel Light. Explore the Night Sky.

From mountain campsites to faraway destinations, start your astrophotography adventure wherever you go.

Discover the Night Sky. Even in the City.

The built-in light pollution filters reduce interference from city lights. Capture the night sky right from your balcony or garden!

Discover the Stars. Together.

Capture the Moon’s craters and distant nebulae with your family. Turn an evening under the stars into a shared discovery.

For the Stargazer in Your Life.

Give them a closer look at the universe—and share the wonder of what comes into view.

80,000+ Celestial Objects. A Universe to Explore.

Select a target in the Seestar app and tap GOTO. Seestar automatically finds, tracks and captures it—revealing more details as they stack.

Three Simple Steps. Your Journey to the Stars Begins.

Step 1: Power on and connect instantly via NFC

Step 2: Choose a shooting mode and a target

Step 3: Create a cosmic masterpiece with one tap

2K Dual-Lens. More in View.

Explore distant detail with the telephoto camera and sweeping nightscapes with the wide-angle camera. Capture deep-sky objects and expansive nightscapes with clarity.

Compact Design. Optical Precision.

A folded optical path fits a longer focal length into a compact body, bringing distant celestial details into view.

One-Tap Post-Processing. More Ways to Refine.

Bring out the detail in your astrophotography with one-tap enhancement, or take control with tools for star removal, star reduction, noise reduction, brightness, contrast, saturation, cropping, flipping and more. Get closer to the shot you imagined, every time.

A Wider View. More Ways to Create.

Frame the Milky Way, trace the paths of the stars, and turn a night beneath the sky into a time-lapse.

Freeze the Ground, Two Worlds in Perfect Focus.

Intelligently detects and locks the foreground landscape, processing it separately from the sky. Customize the landscape freeze duration. Stars stay sharp during tracking, while the foreground remains clear and natural for crisp, striking nightscapes.

Constellation Recognition

Identify constellation lines and labels with one tap, then use GOTO to lock on quickly. Even beginners can find and recognize constellations with ease.

Star Trails. Time in Motion.

Automatically turn star trail images into dynamic videos. Watch trails extend and converge as the night sky moves through time. One capture becomes a lasting connection with the universe.

Mosaic Stitching. See Beyond a Single Frame.

Some celestial wonders deserve a wider view. Seestar captures overlapping images across your chosen area and stitches them together automatically, bringing more of the night sky into one image.

Equatorial Mode

Compensates for Earth's rotation when tracking celestial targets. Stable tracking supports longer exposures and keeps objects steady in the frame.

Plan Mode

Create an imaging plan and let Seestar follow it through the night. It automatically moves from one target to the next, capturing multiple celestial objects while you sleep.

Remote Control. Your Window to a Darker Sky.

Cloudy skies at home? Connect to a Seestar at a remote location and explore the night sky from wherever you are. Capture images and manage your files—all through the app.

Join the AstroImg Community. Explore. Share. Connect.

Connect with Astrophotographers in Over 100 Countries.

Share your images, discover new perspectives, and find inspiration in the night sky—and in each other.

Notes

[1] Both the telephoto and wide-angle cameras capture at 2K resolution (1440 × 2560) at 1×zoom. Resolution is reduced at 2× and 4× zoom. Live preview streams from both cameras are 1080p.

[2] Milky Way photography requires a dark night sky. The Milky Way is less visible in areas with high light pollution. Actual results depend on local conditions.

[3] S30 Plus does not support wide-angle mosaic stitching. Milky Way panorama stitching and Milky Way arch capture are therefore unavailable.

[4] S30 Plus does not support simultaneous capture with the telephoto and wide-angle cameras.

[5] An NFC-enabled phone is required. NFC reading is supported only on certain newer iPhone models; older models are not supported. Android compatibility varies by manufacturer. Check your phone's compatibility before use. To use NFC, turn on the device, unlock your phone, and enable Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC and GPS on your phone. NFC detection performance varies with the size and position of the phone's NFC antenna. Locate your phone's NFC detection area before use. If the Wi-Fi name has been changed, the NFC information must be updated using your phone. Otherwise, NFC will not work.

[6] Due to storage chip characteristics and space used by the system, approximately 45 GB is available for use. System updates may affect storage allocation. Actual available capacity may vary.

[7] Battery life was measured in ZWO laboratory tests at 25°C: approximately 6 hours in Stargazing Mode (image enhancement and celestial tracking enabled, anti-dew function off),
and approximately 4 hours recording video in Scenery Mode (object tracking off,
MP4 format). These figures are for reference only. Frequent operation and
keeping a phone continuously connected to the device can affect battery life.
Actual battery life may vary.

[8] 60s long exposures are supported only in Equatorial Mode, not in Alt-Azimuth Mode. They require high tracking accuracy. In Equatorial Mode, very precise polar alignment is needed to maintain that accuracy. Inaccurate alignment may reduce imaging efficiency. Actual performance may vary.

[9] A solar filter must be installed when observing the Sun. Never point the telescope's main camera directly at the Sun without a solar filter, as this will damage the device.

[10] Smart Noise Reduction reduces noise and refines the appearance of stars in real astrophotography images. It enhances existing images and does not create AI-generated images. Seestar S30 Plus is a smart telescope. All images it captures are real photographs, with no AI-generated content.

[11] A Wi-Fi transmission range of 20m was measured in ZWO laboratory tests in an open outdoor area without interference. This figure is for reference only. Actual range may vary with the environment and conditions of use.

[12] The slew rate multiplier is the ratio of the device's rotation speed to the sidereal rate. 1× is the standard sidereal rate (approximately 15″/s, or 0.00418°/s), used forsynchronized tracking in astrophotography. 1440× is the maximum GOTO slew rate (approximately 6°/s), used to move quickly to a target celestial object. The device automatically adjusts the rate from 1× to 1440× according to the operating mode and use case.

[13] If the weather changes unexpectedly during a planned capture session, such as overcast skies, rain, or strong winds, the task cannot be completed and the device will not shutdown automatically. Check the expected weather conditions for the night before setting up a plan.

A solar filter must be installed when observing the Sun. Never point the telescope's main camera directly at the Sun without a solar filter, as this will damage the device.
