 {{ :triplet.jpg?nolink&200|}}Your Seestar is a unique instrument. **On the outside, only the outermost lens, an on/off button, four battery-level lights, and a USB-C port are visible. And that’s all you really need to know about the hardware**, so you can skip the rest. But if you’re interested in the details keep reading. {{ :triplet.jpg?nolink&200|}}Your Seestar is a unique instrument. **On the outside, only the outermost lens, an on/off button, four battery-level lights, and a USB-C port are visible.

 {{ :dewshield.jpg?nolink&100|}}A lens hood/dew shield has been demonstrated to improve the contrast in images. Some have a base with prongs that lets light in if you aren’t careful, so look for one with a solid bayonet-type base.

When it’s in front of the lens you’ll see a tiny X over a bright star, you adjust focus until a vertical line equally splits the X. Every time I use mine the auto focus is spot on, so YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary). $12 -$20+{{ :screenshot_2024-06-18_at_9.42.49 am.png?nolink&50|}}Some people find a Bahtinov Mask handy to check the focus.
