Dr. Kai Yung gives us an introduction to the capabilities and the many unconventional uses of the new ZWO Seestar S50. He provides an overview of his experimentation and novel ideas into the field of spectroscopy, and how he extended its capabilities to operate it in the equatorial mode. Along the way, he has picked up many tips and tricks he will share as well.
Kai Yung studied Physics and Computer Science, with bachelor at Williams College and graduate studies at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. He has been involved in the high tech fields in the San Francisco Bay Area all of his career, from Biotech Instrumentation for the Human Genomics project, Software Architecture and Engineering for Social Networking before Mark Zuckerberg started his studies at Harvard, and Computer Vision, Robotics and Machine Learning at a local startup.
He retired just before the start of COVID, and has been tinkering with technology his whole life. He started the hobby of astrophotography before his retirement, and was one of the deciding factors for his early exit.
He was introduced to ZWO's Seestar at the first day of its introduction, and placed the order in the first 10 minutes. After receiving the unit, he was enchanted with its portability, cost, and potential, and found himself using and experimenting with it more than any of his other numerous AP rigs.
