Evening All, there was another update today V2.2.1, which will update the firmware to V3.68, it has added 1 sec exp’s for both scenery & planetary modes but only when using time lapse, along with some “bug fixes” I came across the attached image,looks like the strap has somehow frayed.

I have had the same problem when the S50, tries to plate solve through clouds, I have at times had to switch to “Scenery” mode to centre my target,anyway am attaching 2 PDF’s to cover v2.1 & v2.2 updates they might be of use to one and all.
Hello Paul, the App update has been issued, this also updates the onboard O.S. & Kouda, Masaki has published an updated guide to ver 2.1.0, where it talks about imaging Alberio which I must admit I will try skies permitting – When photographing the double star Albireo in “Stargazing Mode,”
you can see that it is a double star in the preview, but with a 10-second
exposure you cannot see. By setting the camera to “Lunar Mode” and
adjusting the gain and exposure time, you can see that it is a double star
at the appropriate brightness. Also, if you zoom in at “x4” you can see
that it has beautiful colours like sapphire and topaz.
To operate, first align the target star using SkyAtlas, then exit the
mode after it is in “Stargazing Mode”, then set it to “Lunar Mode” and
“Skip Goto”.I have attached the PDF hope it helps.

V 2.1 will be / is the next version of the app, that will update the onboard OS software perhaps to 3.???
Afternoon All,
I have just found out V2.01 is out –
V2.1 supports what ZWO used to call mosaic now calls it framing mode. Available for iOS now, Not there for Android but should be very soon.

Paul I have also imaged Albero, when at a recent outreach event, this is a jpeg generated by the s50 from a stack of 103 10sec frames, I did have the dew heater active & a dew shield fitted to the front of the s50.
When connecting to USB 3 there is a faster connection / transfer rate between the S50 & the P.C. / Laptop, also you can save all fits files from within the S50 app settings. go to “Advanced Features” then select “Save Each Frame”.
