ZWO Seestar S30 Plus Smart Telescope - SS-S30PLUS
Couldn't load pickup availability
Falling between the S30 Pro & the S30 in price & features, the S30 Plus offers a larger sensor than the S30 and a 4-element APO instead of 3 (Quad vs Triplet). Check out this comparison chart to decide which ZWO Seestar is for you:
A New Era of Astrophotography
Traditional astrophotography often requires a telescope, an equatorial mount, a dedicated astronomy camera and more, with complex wiring and setup. Seestar integrates the core imaging system into one lightweight device. Simply mount it on a tripod, power it on, and connect to the Seestar app to start imaging. From backyard stargazing to camping trips and family outings, capture the beauty of the universe wherever you go.
4 Imaging Modes - Capture it All!
Imaging Performance & Versatility
Enjoy 2K imaging with either the Telephoto 1/1.8 inch sensor with 1440 x 2560 output and a 3º field of view or the Wide Angle 1/2 inch sensor with 1440 x 2560 cropped output and a 43.5º cropped field of view!
The ability to easily switch between these two cameras allows you to explore different perspectives of the night sky without requiring that you switch between multiple imaging devices, saving you time and hassle....and money!
Supports deep-sky imaging, imaging of the Milky Way, star trails, night-scape and time-lapse photography. Note: the Seestar S30 Plus model does not support wide-field mosaics, one-tap Milky Way arch, post-processing comet stacking or simultaneous dual-camera capture. Those features can be found in the S30 Pro.
From mountain campsites to faraway destinations, start your astrophotography adventure wherever you go.
The compact, all-in-one design of the Seestar S30 Plus makes it easier to capture the night sky from home, while on the road, or wherever your adventures take you. A folded optical path fits a longer focal length into a compact body, bringing distant celestial details into view.
Suitable For:
- Urban Balconies & Rooftops
- Backyards
- Campsites
- Dark-Sky Trips
- Travel
- Schools & Family Astronomy Activities
The built-in light pollution filters reduce interference from city lights. Capture the night sky right from your balcony or backyard!
Capture the Moon’s craters and distant nebulae with your family. Turn an evening under the stars into a shared discovery. Give them a closer look at the universe—and share the wonder of what comes into view.
80,000+ Celestial Objects - a Universe to Explore
Select a target in the Seestar app and tap GOTO. Seestar automatically finds, tracks and captures it——revealing more details as they stack.
So Easy to Use - Three Simple Steps!
APO ED 4-Element Optical System
The S30 Plus quad APO optical system has a 30 mm aperture with a 160 mm focal length. It is designed to control chromatic aberration and maintain sharp, well-defined stars, natural color, and fine detail across a range of celestial targets.
Intelligent Imaging Workflow for a Simpler Astrophotography Experience
The S30 Plus integrates the multiple steps of a traditional astrophotography workflow into just one device and one mobile app, reducing setup time and your learning curve.
Creators may evaluate star shape, chromatic aberration control, edge performance, contrast, and fine-detail rendering through real-world imaging.

Equatorial Mode & Plan Mode
The S30 Plus compensates for Earth's rotation when tracking celestial targets in equatorial mode. Stable tracking supports longer exposures and keeps objects steady in the frame.
In Plan Mode, you can create an imaging plan and let Seestar follow it through the night. It automatically moves from one target to the next, capturing multiple celestial objects while you sleep.
Remote Operation!
Cloudy skies at home? Connect to a Seestar at a remote location and explore the night sky from wherever you are. Capture images and manage your files—all through the app.
Star Trails. Time in Motion.
Automatically turn star trail images into dynamic videos. Watch trails extend and converge as the night sky moves through time. One capture becomes a lasting connection with the universe.
Constellation Recognition
Identify constellation lines and labels with one tap, then use GOTO to lock on quickly. Even beginners can find and recognize constellations with ease.
Freeze the Ground; Two Worlds in Perfect Focus
Intelligently detects and locks the foreground landscape, processing it separately from the sky. Customize the landscape freeze duration. Stars stay sharp during tracking, while the foreground remains clear and natural for crisp, striking nightscapes.

What's in the Box
A few notes about the Specifications listed above:
- Storage Capacity: Due to system files and reserved storage space, the actual available storage is approximately 45 GB. Available capacity may change in future system updates. Please refer to actual available storage on your device.
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Distance: The transmission distances listed were measured in an open environment free of obstructions between devices. The values are for reference only as actual performance can vary depending on the operating environment.
- Battery Capacity & Life: Battery life of approximately 6 house was measured by the ZWO at 25ºC under laboratory conditions. Image Enhancement & Object Tracking were enabled and the dew heater was turned off during testing. Your personal usage conditions will affect battery life, so test results listed are for reference only.
