 As amazing as the Seestar is, if can't do everything, mainly because the field of view is only slightly larger than a full moon. Here are a few things that come to mind: As amazing as the Seestar is, if can't do everything, mainly because the field of view is only slightly larger than a full moon. Here are a few things that come to mind:
  
-It can't track the ISS. It moves too fast. But with a little preparation, you can catch it as it flashes past the sun+<fc #ffff00>• The Seestar won't give your great images of planets. Because the focal length is so short (250mm) even large planets like Jupiter((Jupiters is 2.5 times the mass of all the other planets combined!)) and Saturn are just tiny dots. But with some effort you can create a decent (but small) image of a planet.</fc>

-It won't capture meteors during a meteor shower. They move too fast and appears in a wide sector of the sky+<WRAP centeralign>You can see Jupiter's Galilean moons ((They move fast; you can see them change position in as little as 15 minutes))

-It can't image the Milky Way. Looking out at the edge of our galaxy shows just how huge it is. It covers a wide swath of the night sky+<WRAP centeralign>Also Jupiter's dark "belts" and lighter "zones"</WRAP>{{ :exhibition:jupiter_by_anthony_scanu.jpg?nolink&200 |}}
