Great video! I am very tempted to get one directly from Seestar and at their special price it is even more of a bargain.

At last, someone not using these unnecessary Neweer levelers! If the table is level, you're good to go! Just make sure the table is not metal as in can interfere with the SS sensors.
One word of advice, don't rely on the handles of the case, some post i read on FB, the handles straps fell off and the case with SS inside went crashing to the floor. There was a picture that showed the incident.

Awesome video! It's very helpful and informative.

I just ordered one with the easy leveler. Expect it on
wendsday.
Do you know how much can be stored with 64gig?
Thanks

[@TelescopeGreg]

64 GB of course :-) Actually it depends on the file formats you decide to save the images in. You can store quite a bit.

Is the solar filter glass or Mylar?

[@TelescopeGreg]

I haven't touched it to see. But I assumed glass.

[@bobcarn]

It's not glass. It's a plastic-like substance that's pretty taught. Like a sheet. Probably mylar, though I don't know enough about mylar to say it is or isn't.
