Seestar App is a companion app for controlling Seestar telescopes and planning astronomical observation. Its modes include Stargaze, Scenery, Solar, and Lunar; Stargazing can find and focus on celestial objects, track them, then capture and process images automatically. SkyAtlas lets users search targets, view basic information, and use one-tap GoTo alignment. The app also includes a photo gallery, shooting plans, post-processing tools, telescope Wi-Fi settings, firmware updates, and battery and storage information. The S30 Pro page lists 80,000+ deep-sky objects and 600,000+ stars for automatic locating, tracking, and capture, plus scheduled observing, remote control, and automatic mosaic stitching. The app listing says it works with all Seestar models. The S50 connects to a mobile device over its own Wi-Fi without internet, but internet is needed for first activation, accounts or data loading, Square features, and updates. The app is free and listed for Android and iOS; macOS and Windows are also listed as platforms. PC control is described for specified macOS and Windows setups.
