Enhance Your SeeStar Experience with this Performance Upgrade Kit!
When the Seestar Smart telescope from ZWO first hit the market, the innovative performance took the astronomy community by storm. Here at High Point Scientific, we want to offer an option to enhance that performance even further! We have thoughtfully put together a kit of SeeStar compatible accessories that we believe will elevate the performance of your Seestar telescope without requiring any changes to the basic functions of the smart telescope itself.
This SeeStar Performance Upgrade Kit comes with three high-quality accessories that are sure to take your smartphone controlled celestial journey to new heights. The first of these is the Apertura Moon & Skyglow 2″ filter. Not only is this helpful filter a great way to reduce light pollution, it also increases contrast to reveal subtle improvements on celestial objects like planets, star clusters, and even some nebulae! But how do you connect this 2″ Apertura filter to the SeeStar? We have you covered by including the Apertura 2″ filter holder specifically designed for the Seestar Smart Telescope. All you need to do is thread your Moon & Skyglow filter, or a different 2″ filter of your choice, onto the filter holder, and then insert the holder into the front of the SeeStar’s objective lens. Then you’re ready to go! To round this performance kit out, we’ve also included the Apertura SeeStar Aluminum Dust Cover. Protect your Seestar lens from dust and particulate accumulation when not in use with this handy tool from Apertura!
High-Quality Accessories to Complement Your Seestar Setup!
Each of the accessories we’ve selected for this performance kit complements the function of the SeeStar telescope. Not only are they solid and high-quality, Apertura has designed two of the accessories, the filter holder and the aluminum dust cover, to work specifically with the Seestar, so you can be sure that the connection of these accessories will be a breeze! Learn more about the included accessories below!
Apertura Moon & Skyglow 2″ Filter
Designed to provide a solution to light pollution and provide enhanced contrast, the Apertura 2″ Moon & Skyglow filter is an excellent addition to this upgrade kit. The filter works by blocking out the surrounding street lights, house lights, and other forms of artificial light. It will also reduce the effects of the natural light from the Moon. While it blocks these certain wavelengths, it will still preserve the transmission of light from celestial objects. This will ultimately enhance your views. This 2″ filter from Apertura is particularly useful for observing bright sky objects, and can even reveal higher definition within the cloud bands of Jupiter. And that’s just one example. The filter is made with Schott B270 glass and precision Ion Assisted Deposition (IAD) coatings, allowing it to deliver the utmost transmission of the desired wavelengths, and it is mounted in a sturdy threaded filter cell for durability.
Apertura 2″ Filter Holder
The Apertura 2″ Filter Holder has been specifically designed to work with the Seestar Smart Telescope. This filter holder is CNC machined out of 6061aluminum and finished with a durable bead-blasted oxide. Fitted to work with 2″ (M48) filters, this solid accessory provides a simple solution for adding filters to your Seestar! The design of the filter holder is meant to blend well with the Seestar’s sleek body, while providing you more options for possible targets to image through your scope. All you need to do to mount this handy tool is thread on the 2″ filter and then insert it into the objective lens, just like you would the stock solar filter that comes with the original Seestar purchase. Then, you are ready to go! Adding this to your Seestar does not change how your Seestar functions or how it is controlled via your smartphone.
Apertura SeeStar Aluminum Dust Cover
We have included this practical tool in this kit because protection of your optics is an incredibly important part of the astronomy. Apertura has designed this aluminum dust cover to work with the Seestar and prevent dust and particulates from accumulating on your objective lens. To connect the aluminum dust cover, all you need to do is insert it into the objective lens, just like you would the filter holder detailed above. The dust cover is CNC machined out of 6061 aluminum as well. This design will seamlessly blend into the the Seestar aesthetics and remain in place as you open and close the Seestar smart telescope. To remove the aluminum dust cover, all you need to do is utilize the wide tab to lift the cover out, and you are ready to go!

Excellent addition to the already awesome Seestar. The use of a sky glow filter has improved the quality of my images taken in an overly light polluted area.
