  • The Apertura Easy Leveler is an innovative solution to getting faster, more precise leveling on your Seestar Smart Telescope. On altitude-azimuth (alt-az) mounts, proper leveling is key for best tracking, and minimizing star trailing and field rotation in your images - the Apertura Easy Leveler makes leveling the Seestar S50, well, "easy"! In the video, I also answer the question many people have: Does the Easy Leveler fit in the Seestar S50 case?"

    A few additional comments to the video:
    1) Offbrand/generic versions of the leveler can be found much cheaper on Amazon.com, etc.
    2) I found the locking knobs don't really do anything. You can use them or not, it really shouldn't make a difference. I kept that clip in the video, just to show that they are there.
    3) Yes, I mowed my lawn, did my spring weeding and trimmed after this video. :) It needed it badly!
    4) I hope you found the video helpful. I'm always trying to improve my editing, especially when it comes to controlling the audio levels.
    5) The Seestar S50 is awesome. If you don't have one, you should get one. I LOVE mine! If you end up buying one, and want to support the channel, feel free to use my AgenaAstro affilitate link.

    Another little tip...... I lay-down an old handkerchief (bandana) on the SeeStar impression mold first, then insert the SeeStar over the top of it. This makes it very easy to grasp and pull out the SeeStar unit from the molded foam insert. FYI. Very nice and useful video, as usual! Thanks.

    I actually purchased mine even before I received my Seestar based on multiple reviews of the Seestar where some found it frustrating to level. Mine came from Amazon. There were multiples to chose from. Choose wisely. Works perfectly. I use the bubble to get it close, then do the 3 wheel fine adjustment.

    0.1! It’s funny how something like this can amaze me. Definitely buying it.

      Haha, I know the feeling! It makes life a lot easier with the Seestar that’s for sure.

    I was just looking at this leveler for my seestar. Thanks a lot for the review. I should be buying one in the next couple of days. Quick question is that a Microsoft surface you are using there ?
    Thanks

      No, it’s the original iPad Pro! Still going strong.

    Your channel would be massive, if you would post more frequently, but i guess youre busy with education and work.
