Seestar and Chill
Amateur Astronomy made easy

This presentation will be live at Martz-Kohl Observatory and available online via Zoom. You are encouraged to come to the observatory to meet Corey Swanson, and the astronomy team at MKO, to join in what could be a lively Q&A after his talk. Facility tours will follow. Dress appropriately for the weather as if you were outside.

The wonders of the universe are becoming more accessible than ever, thanks to innovative technology like the ZWO Seestar series of smart telescopes. Corey Swanson will be presenting an in-depth look at these groundbreaking all-in-one devices, which are transforming how individuals of all skill levels engage with astronomy and astrophotography. The presentation will delve into the features of ZWO Seestar telescopes, highlighting their remarkably compact and user-friendly design. Attendees will learn how these lightweight systems make exploring the cosmos easier and more enjoyable than ever before. Corey will also showcase images captured with these innovative and relatively affordable instruments, and should weather conditions permit, attendees will have the opportunity to witness live demonstrations of their capabilities.

Corey Swanson is the current President and former Secretary of the Marshal Martz Memorial Astronomical Association, Inc., which operates the Martz-Kohl Observatory. A dedicated lifelong enthusiast of astronomy and space exploration, Corey pursues both visual observation of the cosmos and astrophotography. His engagement with technology extends to amateur radio, where he holds an Extra Class license and actively participates in receiving and decoding imagery and telemetry from the International Space Station, amateur radio satellites, and NOAA weather satellites.
