The app and firmware updated nicely this evening.

I have also downloaded seestar_alp (https://github.com/smart-underworld/seestar_alp) which works remarkably well and is much more controllable than the Seestar app. It can send the S50 to a specified position in RA/Dec (either Jnow or J2000 epochs), those data can be typed in, pasted from the clipboard or transferred from Stellarium. It also has a scheduler for fully unattended usage. Very highly recommended and I hope that the official ZWO app takes some of the features on board. The app has finally caught up with seestar_alp in that it now does mosaic mode.

Of course, just as I was getting the hang of seestar_alp this evening the sky clouded over completely and I didn’t get a single image.
