Smart Telescopes/Observatories and Artificial Intelligence

I have owned two smart telescopes since 2024: the Seestar S50 and Celestron Origin Intelligent Home Observatory. There are several others in today’s marketplace, you may own/operate one. I am introducing this topic to discuss these technologies, performance, current state-of-the-art, and the future of AI in telescopes and image processing.

My wife has a Stellina which she loves. Even though it is somewhat dated tech it still takes very good images.

It’s a very well reputed one and is a very important scope which will go to the history.

All I have are a couple Meade LXD75 mounts from about 2007 with the optical tubes that came with them .
I used to have Stellarium on a desk top that I would plan my upcoming observing sessions from . It was a great program . I no longer own a desktop so I miss that . The iPhone version is completely different and doesn’t do what the desktop version did so now I just plan a bit differently . With the desktop version you could fast forward to any date and see what was going to be in the sky starting in the west at sunset and work eastward compiling a list for that night in advance . We used to pull those all nighters . I was like 3 out of 50 or 60 at a star party that would do that . Most everybody else was in their camper or tent sleeping by 1am or 2am . We’d sleep all day , get up in the afternoon and do it again the next night .
