Gerry Davis bought the ZWO Seestar S50 Telescope in the winter of 2025 because we would soon be moving from his house and land to a two-bedroom apartment with a terrace.  He had used his heavy tripod, equatorial mount, telescopes, and accessories for 7 years in his backyard. This assembly served him well but weighed about 60 pounds and filled a garden cart.  Clearly, this gear would not fit in his apartment or be portable to use outside his new back door. The Seestar S50 telescope arrived in its compact case complete with a small tripod and solar filter.  He is excited to tell you about the system, filter and the smartphone or tablet Seestar app. Following the main presentation the recurring monthly presentations will include Constellation of the Month by Terri Zittritsch.
