ZWO S30 First nights

Got a few nights to test this little piece of equipment.

Fantastic value!  It has autofocuser, wifi remote control box, built-in light pollution filter, and even a dew heater!  How can they put all these valuable stuff into just a single small box?

Using it is no brainer, just put it there and they will do all the job. 

I always say astronomy is about polar alignment, focusing and collimation.  You don't need to do any of these things!  Just put it outside and it's ready to go.

It's very portable, so it can be used for ad hoc events like comets, you can bring it any where, even camping trips.

It's not cooled, but since it's so easy and ready to use, you can gather more shots for stacking.  Scottish weather helps too.

Two unprocessed shots out of the box, the first one was stitched automagically.  The second one was direct.  


The best telescope is the one you can use most, this is undoutedly the best telescope.

The only downside is, you cannot put an eyepiece on it.
