he showed me a photo of the actual S50 out in the field, it was white, basically a larger S30 pro, then he showed me some MW shots (just saw them in his gallery, I don't think he opened them) and one deep sky photo which was the Trifid and the Lagoon nebulas in one FOV - that's how I knew they upgraded to a larger sensor

that would be nice but based on what he said it's highly unlikely

Szia! Milyen Televue okulárokat vásároltál? Velük (Televue) vagy Baader Planetarium csapatával nem volt tervben interjú? :)

vegul egy 21mm Ethos es egy 31mm Naglert vettem. Nem volt ezekkel a cegekkel interju, mert olyanokra probaltam koncentralni, ahol volt valami ujdonsag, sajnos a TV es a Baader nem mutatott be semmi erdekeset. Vagyis a Baadernek volt egy uj napra tervezett projekcios okular-szerusege, de engem egyaltalan nem gyozott meg :D

Something along S70 pro or S80 pro would be amazing

I think ZWO Seestar s30 pro is overrated according its price. Even it has got higher resolution the pixel size is still same with s30. The very wide FOV is useless in general. How many messier complex are there in deep sky for this FOV. And the other stuff as star trails and milkyway time lapses, you can do very very better with very cheaper cameras. And you will need really dark places as bortle 1-4. In the city it is worthless.

Hi Luca! You're a good interviewer and bring out the advantages of new stuff very well. Personally, i especially like the Touptek things...

I couldn’t find anything on then new dwarf scope ! I tried to get the QR code. The only thing I could find was some kind of joining some list, but it didn’t tell me anything about the scope. I mean, is there a teaser video about it? If anyone could scan that QR code and send me the link, I would appreciate it.

I think they're literally just trying to get people to sign up for when they announce it

@the_space_koalaok thank you so much!! Is there a good photo processing app for iPhone or iPad?

@the_space_koala

If you're going to do in-app editing you may want to do it within the scope's own application directly (assuming we're speaking smart scopes). Otherwise I think Affinity is available for the iPad and it's quite powerful and able to handle raw files but I haven't really used it myself, I do all of my editing on the Mac.
