Seestar Auto Plan: Automated Scheduled Shooting Guide

The Auto Plan feature automatically generates ready-to-run astrophotography schedules based on real-time sky conditions. You may launch the plan instantly after generation, or manually tweak targets and imaging durations for greater efficiency and flexibility in scheduled shooting.

Operation Guide

1. Enter Planned Shooting

Tap the Plan tab on the homepage to open the scheduled shooting page. Tap Create a plan, name your schedule, and you will enter the plan editing workspace.

2. Auto-Generate Shooting Tasks

On the plan editing page, you can manually add deep-sky targets, or use the new Auto Plan tool.

Tap Auto Plan, and the system will generate a fully executable shooting schedule matched to current observing conditions. Once finished, you can run the schedule directly or adjust it manually to fit your needs.

3. Adjust Shooting Targets

Once the auto schedule is ready, you can freely edit all targets within the timeline.

Delete a Target

Tap any target, then tap the Delete icon at the bottom-left corner. You may also long-press the target to remove it quickly.

Adjust Imaging Duration

Select a target and tap the Edit icon at the bottom-right. Drag the timeline slider to change its imaging runtime.

Important note: Target time windows cannot overlap. Save your changes once editing is complete.

4. Execute the Shooting Plan

After verifying all targets and exposure durations, tap the top-left back arrow to return to the Local Plans list. Locate your newly created schedule and tap Execute to start automated guided astrophotography.
