APG Meeting February 27th, 6:00–7:30 PM @ The Lyndon House
This month, APG’s resident astrophotography expert Steve Binkley will introduce us to the Seestar S50 Smart Telescope. This inexpensive, compact telescope has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and is controlled using mobile apps to automatically capture stars, nebulae, the moon and the sun, as well as telephoto images on land. It provides automatic star tracking as well as light pollution filtering, so it’s ready to use out of the box for astrophotography unlike complex star tracking mounts and conventional telescopes.
