September 29, 2024 - The S50 is not a good planetary scope, it lacks resolution to really see any details of planets. It does the Sun, Moon and some large deep space object really well. When I was using it the raw imagery required some video processing with 3rd party apps to look like my photos that I posted here. ZWO has been working on their Seestar App so it may perform somewhat better than when I was using it.

r/seestar on Reddit: Thinking about a SeeStar S50 - questions about post processing
November 11, 2025 -
I've been doing a little bit of "Landscape Astro" photography for the last 12 months. My rig includes a Sony A7II and Viltrox 16mm F1.8 lens (no tracking mount). To produce better images, this requires a lot of post processing.
I have been thinking of a SeeStar S50 as the next step up into the hobby, and to look deeper into our skies.
While I see a lot of images directly out of the camera/app which are pretty good, I am curious to understand how much better images can be made in external apps, processing RAW files.
Also, what external apps are people using? For my current Landscape Astro process flow, I use Sequator and Photoshop.
Thanks

The RAW images coming out of S50 are different from what you're used to in "regular" photography. They need to be stacked and "stretched" to reveal the object in full glory. The most common free tool is called Siril. You can see the process and the final result here . And he shares the raw files so you can try it yourself too. IMHO, the stuff that is processed in the Seestar app and other mobile apps doesn't hold a candle to what can be produced using the more "conventional" processing tools.

I do all my post processing in Pixinsight (the gold standard and expensive software) as well as touch-ups in Affinity Photo 2. Here's a link to my work in bortle 6 with that software. https://photos.app.goo.gl/DHHLy3RTX6TXLmus5

r/seestar on Reddit: Best software to use with s50 raw data?
November 9, 2025 -
Hey guys
So I got the s50 and have been trying to figure out the best way to process images. I have Siril and used it to split the background and main subject with my photo of orion and Andromeda but they just seem to be lacking. I'm happy with the photos, but I have seen much better versions line.
Additionally, Siril didn't do an amazing job, where I ended up following a guide online (linked in this thread) using just lights and by the end, my photo was essentially pure white and looked ridiculous.
Does anyone have advice on what tools are best?

Siril is a great piece of software. You can achieve very good results with it from Seestar data but you need to do some reading around and practicing with it. I recommend the video tutorial linked below - it’s what started me off. Deep Space Astro (also on YouTube) has some great tutorials as well. https://youtu.be/lMoSAHOgbD4?si=7JNocsUgBvmI1XqC I’m sure somebody will recommend PixInsight or other tools but I would suggest you get an understanding of post-processing with Siril - you can always splash out on paid-for software when you have a better idea what you’re doing. Other software (free) which can be used together with Siril are Starnet++ (star removal) and GraXpert (noise reduction, background extraction). And as an example, here’s my most recent image (Andromeda) post-processed with the software mentioned above (plus a bit of Photoshop for final colour tweaks, and RC Astro’s NoiseXterminator plugin). Good luck.

SeeStar S50 captures deep space for Astro photography newbies - Photofocus
November 12, 2025 - In addition to the library of things to photograph the S50 also has a built in heater which keeps the lens from fogging up in humid situations. It tracks and makes multiple images from your preferred subject. Then it stacks the images. You can watch as the image builds on your phone screen. Or, you can go really deep and once the process is in place head into the house for a bit of warmth and maybe a nap while the unit capture what is called FITS which is the RAW file created.
