The Seestar S30 Pro

The world of amateur astronomy keeps changing. On December 31, 2025, ZWO launched the latest smart telescope – the Seestar S30 Pro. This is a long anticipated upgrade to the Seestar S50 and S30 with an improved sensor and optics. With the S30 Pro you get a large field of view and more pixels (8MP).

The S30 Pro will operate in Alt/Az mode. The S30 Pro will also operate in EQ mode. To facilitate this, ZWO supplies an HT fluid tripod head and TC20 Tripod, which can be purchased in addition to the S30 Pro. One new feature, not available in the basic S30, is the Milky Way mode. This is a wide angle view that can be used for nightscape imaging.
