Seestar Remote Device Sharing Guide

The Remote Device Sharing feature allows a device owner to grant access to their Seestar smart telescope to other accounts. Shared users do not need to be physically near the telescope. As long as they log in to the Seestar App, they can connect to the device remotely via the internet to observe and capture astrophotography images.

How It Works

Share your Seestar with friends and explore the night sky together.

1. Enable Sharing

Device Owner

• Initiate device sharing
• Manage the shared users list (add/remove friends)
• Revoke sharing permissions at any time

Instructions:

1. Open the Seestar App → Me → Telescope Network, then locate the device you want to share in the Remote Device List and tap it.
2. Tap "Share with Friends", enter your friend's account (a registered phone number or email), and set the start time for sharing. Then tap "Share" to confirm.
3. If Permanent Access is selected, you only need to set the start time.

Notes:

1. If "Valid indefinitely" is enabled, only the start time needs to be set and the sharing will remain active indefinitely; if "Valid indefinitely" is not selected, both start time and end time must be set.
2. If the start time is set in the future, the device will only appear in your friend's remote device list when that time arrives.
3. The device owner can view which shared user is currently using the device in real time, making it easier to manage access.

Shared User

• After receiving a sharing notification, you can view the remote device in the app.
• You have permission to view and take photos remotely.
• You can not forward or share this device again.

Instructions:

1. When a friend shares a device with you, you will receive a system notification in the Seestar App including: Friend's name, Device name, Sharing start time, Sharing end time.
2. On the app homepage, tap Connect Device. The shared remote device will appear in the device list. Tap Connect to start using it.

2. Remove Sharing

Device Owner

Instructions:

1. Open Seestar App → Me → Telescope Network, then select the device you want to manage from the Remote Device List.
2. Tap "Edit" in the upper-right corner, select the friend you want to remove, then tap "Remove" to revoke their access.

Shared User

If the device owner removes your sharing access, you will receive a system notification in the Seestar App indicating the friend's name and the device name that was removed. The device will no longer appear in your remote device list.
