The largest sales volume, and the largest community of users.
ZWO comes from demanding astrophotography. Its ASI cameras and its ASIAIR box equip thousands of amateur mounts. The Seestar carries that know-how over into an all-in-one device. It is the best selling of the devices compared here.

The range
Rapport d'ouverture : the focal length divided by the diameter, written f/, and the smaller that number, the faster the image forms. Monture azimutale : it moves in altitude and in rotation, but the field turns during the night. Monture équatoriale : one axis set on that of the Earth, so that the field no longer turns.
f/5,3 · Sony IMX585
The S30 keeps its body, its weight and its 30 mm, and changes what is inside: a sensor four times larger, four lenses instead of three, and a rebuilt wide angle.
1h on l'Origin = 5h 48m here
f/5,2 · OmniVision OS08B10
The heaviest overhaul in the Seestar range. The dual-band and the equatorial mode were already there; what changes is the sensor, the optics, the battery and the price.
1h on l'Origin = 5h 35m here
This equivalence says nothing about resolution, about the field or about optical quality: f/2,2 on 152 mm and f/5,3 on 30 mm do not photograph the same objects. Worked out from the published focal ratios alone, with sensor, sky and target held identical.
