The ZWO Seestar S50: First Light...

 As the sky outside was overcast with no Sun visible, the 'first light' exercise was done in 'Scenery' mode. The S50 was attached to its tripod and placed on a sandstone bench outside. Using the S50 application on the YQ10S tablet a number photos were taken.  The S50 was pointed via the joystick controller in the S50 application on the YQ10S. Various tests on the 'Auto-focus function ('AF') were done and I was impressed with its operation.

The building in the left-most image is 27 kms away. The horses and cattle are about 1 to 2 km away.

I must say I am impressed !!!

The 'Scenery' mode images were stored on the YQ10S automatically and so easily accessible. Not sure at this stage whether they are also stored on the S50. Further familiarisation will reveal that.

Very happy with the S50 so far - even if nothing more than scenery shots.
