ZWO Seestar S50 Smart Telescope Accessories.
All image train accessories (those that attach to the front lens), except for the filter adapter, are the same in all sets if they are included. The difference in the adapter for 2" filters lies in how the filter is locked in place (with a magnet lock or threaded screw-in lock). The threaded screw-in filter holder has an additional 2" to 1.25" adapter. The magnet filter lock can also be used as a frame for solar filter film.
Choose the best set that fits your requirements.
The Finder/Accessory Dovetail Mount/Shoe is the perfect solution for securely attaching your small accessories to your telescope. The mount is made of durable PETG material. You can attach a Solar Finder, Finderscope, Laser Pointers, and other small accessories to your ZWO Seestar S50.
All items related to the image train fit each other and the Seestar as well. The filter adapter, dew shield, and dovetail mount are designed to fit snugly; the Flexible Lens Cap is designed to be easily put on and taken off without falling off. Accessories like the Bahtinov Mask and Diffraction Spikes masks are designed to fit the S50 and other accessories without tension.

Please note:
- The locking knob on the dovetail mount will be a random choice of nylon or metal thumbscrew. If you need a particular one, leave me a buyer note.
- Seestar/Finders/Laser Pointers/Solar Filter/Tripods/Accessories other than specified in the listing sets are not included.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Please make sure you do not use the "Shut Down" feature on your SeeStar S50 while using the accessories (excluding the lens cap). Also, ensure that the "Auto Shutdown" feature (My SeeStar/Advanced Feature/Auto Shut Down) on your SeeStar S50 is turned off while using the accessories to prevent accidental jamming. Ensure Seestar has enough battery so it will not issue an auto shutdown feature on battery less than 5% (with Seestar firmware current on Jun 17, 2024).
- Please do not use this accessory mount for solar imaging/finding without a solar filter installed on the objective lens of your Seestar.
- All parts (except nuts, locking thumbscrews, magnets) are 3D printed. Not recommended for solar imaging (except the dovetail mount adapter and solar finder). Material can get hot and melt/bend (PLA matte can hold up to 55C/131F).
- The video shows a "short 65mm" dew shield is for demonstration only; by purchasing this set of accessories, you will receive a "long" 105mm dew shield.
- The Dovetail Mount Adapter is designed to handle lightweight accessories like solar finders or lightweight finderscopes/red-dot finders/laser pointers.
- Smartphone/Tablet Detachable Stand/Support - please use only lightweight tablets, smartphones, or small power banks. (the tablet shown in pictures weighs little bit less than 500g or ~17oz and it works fine)
- Please use all accessories carefully, at your own risk.
