What problem does it solve? Operating a Seestar S50 smart telescope well requires juggling two control protocols, focus sweeps, exposure tuning, stacking, and file organization, all with firmware quirks that silently ruin sessions. This Skill encodes the tested workflows and hard-won gotchas so an AI agent can drive the telescope conversationally and produce finished astrophotography without repeating known mistakes. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Full telescope control: status checks, GoTo with plate solving, focus sweeps, nudges, live RTSP frames, and full-resolution raw captures via the native JSON-RPC protocol and the built-in ASCOM Alpaca server. - Session pipelines: ready-made recipes for Sun, Moon, planets, and deep-sky targets, including the scope's own 10-second sub stacking and pulling its 16-bit FIT masters over SMB for processing with fitproc.py. - Gallery and public site integration: organize captures into dated session folders, promote finished pictures to a gallery, and push them to a public website with a photo-request inbox. - Use Case: Ask the agent to photograph M31 tonight; it slews, plate-solves, starts stacking, monitors dropped frames, pulls the scope's FIT master, stretches and denoises it into a finished JPEG, and publishes it to the gallery. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to check the telescope status and take a picture of the Moon tonight using the seestar skill.
