Equatorial Mode

Note: This operation needs to be performed outdoors in an open and unobstructed area, while ensuring there are clear stars visible.

This tutorial will guide you on how to use the Equatorial Mount Mode with Seestar. The Equatorial Mount Mode compensates for the Earth’s rotation, enabling longer exposure times, stable tracking, and reduced field rotation effects on images, thereby improving imaging quality.

First, prepare the tripod, Seestar, and the Seestar mount.

Extend and level the tripod, ensuring one of its legs is oriented toward true north.

Attach the quick-release plate to the bottom of Seestar and secure it. Then, mount the Seestar onto the tripod. Ensure the vertical center of the device aligns with one of the tripod legs (preferably the north-facing leg) to prevent tipping.

Next, power on Seestar and connect it to your mobile device.

Tap "Me" at the bottom to enter the user page. Select "Advanced Features," then navigate to "Mount Mode" and watch the tutorial video. Follow the in-app instructions to adjust the Seestar mount angle. Note: This operation must be performed outdoors in an open, unobstructed area.

After adjustments, tap "Switch" at the top-right corner to activate the Equatorial Mount Mode. Once switched, click "Get polar Align Deviation." The app will display azimuth and elevation angle deviations. Fine-tune the mount based on these values until errors are within 1°.

Once calibrated, secure the device and enter Stargazing Mode. Select a target to begin. The observation interface will indicate that Seestar is in Equatorial Mount Mode.
