The latest firmware update unlocked EQ mode for the Seestar S30 and S50, but is it really a game changer? In this video, I’ll walk you through how to set it up, test it in action, and compare it to Alt-Az mode. I took the Seestar S30/S50 out to capture Markarian’s Chain, the Leo Triplet, and the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) to see how well EQ mode performs. Does it really improve tracking and image quality, or is it more hassle than it’s worth? Stick around as I share my results, the pros and cons, and my final thoughts on whether EQ mode is worth using!
