StellaVita

Acquistato un mese fa, utilizzato solo 5/6 volte causa meteo ma sufficienti per dare una valutazione.
L'apparecchio funziona bene, lo uso su un newton f4, montatura heq5, camera AE676C, autofocus Gemini e guida con FS-200 e Player One Mars-C. Dopo una serata per entrare nella logica dello StellaVita risulta fare quello che gli si chiede. L'App funziona bene ed è semplice da usare, mancano alcune cose, come la possibilità di salvare le varie configurazioni del setup per poter pianificare le sessioni senza obbligo di essere connessi. Per questo non ho messo 5 stelle, ma vista la frequenza degli aggiornamenti, sono convinto che la funzione verrà implementata a breve.

I received this product as a birthday gift from my family abroad. This is a very good controller. It allows you to connect and use various brand types of cameras. I really like the philosophy of aiming for an open ecosystem. I've received this great product and am using it well. Thank you.

Since using StellaVita, my astrophotography has improved considerably – you could even say it’s been revolutionised. From my balcony, I don’t have a clear view of the celestial pole. With StellaVita, it takes about 10 minutes to align and adjust the telescope.
I’ve never managed to take such crisp astrophotographs before. As far as I’m concerned, StellaVita deserves 10 out of 10!

I absolutely love this product—it’s incredibly easy to use, available in my language, and compatible with all my accessories. The only thing I’d recommend is including a rotation assistant based on an image's plate solve. An excellent purchase!!!

I had initial issues with stellavita due to external GPS dongle crashing the mount due to location data conflicts. Since identifying the issue, the unit has performed as advertised. I have begun to like it since my initial testing.

The StellaVita has been awesome for me, especially because I can mix gear from different vendors, and I can switch on and off parts of my rig from the SV app (like the flat panel), and it works well for all the touptek gear I have as well. I'm a UI designer, and I have to say they did a pretty good job making the user interface fairly straightforward to use. I like how they group the first 4 things you need to do each night: 1. focus, 2. polar align, 3 start guiding, and 4 pick a target. I would still like a little more help in the UI for A) default values for things like backlash and offset, and B) a little better integration of things like shooting Bias and Flat frames (I just found a dedicated place to do this after 6 months using the software!). I'd also like better Wifi range, and an additional usb-A port to control my flat panel. Great job overall with the hardware and the software though, ToupTek. I like it better than ASIAir hardware (lockin!) and software (less intuitive!). Keep the improvements coming.

Despues de varios dias para conseguir que reconozca las camaras y montura, parece que ya funciona
Pero aun no puedo conseguir ni alineacion polar ni seguimiento. Necesito un manual completo o un video extenso que explique todos los pasos para que una persona no muy lista como yo, lo entienda

My StellaVita is working beautifully. It pairs very well with the Askar 71f telescope, ZWO 120 mini Guide Scope, Touptek 533M camera, Touptek 1.25 AFW, and the SkyWatcher HEQ5 Pro Mount that I use!❤️ Thank you for a great product and custumer service!

Nice astrophotography gadget that makes controlling the equipment very easy

Intuitive and easy to use

The product is good and was able to connect to my different gear setup smoothly. But it’s still needs tuning and up grading. For example, the search is only on catalog number. If they include the famous and familiar object names will be more convenient. Second thing it does not have Mosaic feature. Third thing which really irritate me the most. In Autofocus routine the maximum steps of focuser is only 2000 steps. This feature will work only for commercial auto focuser like ZWO, Celestron or Gemini,etc. But for precision focusers like Primaluce Esatto, the auto focus will fail because those premium focuser needs at least 5000 steps to get a change in the star size. I hope if they can increase the maximum number of steps or to keep it open without restrictions. Also, another issue in the framing option regarding rotation of the sensor. The graphic interface and presentation is so confusing in adjusting the rotation of the camera. Actually, it needs to be changed.

All other options are great and working smoothly.

Hi everyone. I’ve fully connected the StellaVita with all my equipment, and everything is running perfectly. Unfortunately, I haven't had the time or clear weather for photography yet. I’ll get back to you as soon as I’ve been able to take some pictures. Talk soon. Greetings from Germany, Thilo.

It takes a bit to learn how to use it but once you do it makes everything so much easier.

The user interface, speed of locating, excellent plate solving, auto-assist polar aligning, all mounts usable, easy interfaces, all cams embraced features are spot on and much needed in our hobby. I use ALL my equipment; 6-7 cams, 8 scopes and 6 mounts, without discrimination by manufacturer! It handles them all. GREAT PERFORMER now with V2. Seems to improve daily. Thanks and keep the good stuff coming.

Great product. Excellent price.

Wenn die Geräte in den Standby gehen Stoppt die Aufnahme im Autostakkert Modus. Erst wenn das TELEFON wieder Aktiv ist muss man die Aufnahme neu starten.

Works flawless with different brands. Easy to operate, well done.

Until know, i did not a full session all a night long. But Stellavita works with all of my equipment. The app ist intuitiv.

Pour le moment pas trop déçu de ce boîtier stellavita il manque encore quelques fonctionnalités, comme le mode mosaïque.

Lähes yhtä hyvä toiminnoiltaan kuin Asiair Plus mutta hieman rajoittunut Wifi kantama ja vaatii virittelyä. Hyvää se että tukee monenlaisia valmistajia ja merkkejä.

Ich bin sehr zufrieden. Sicherlich gibt es immer noch was zu verbessern. aber alles funktioniert sehr gut und ohne Probleme. Man blickt auch als Anfänger sehr schnell durch und ansonsten gibt es eine Menge an Videos zu den verschiedenen Themen.

Muy satisfecho con las prestaciones actuales del Stellavita, reconoce todos componentes de mi setup y la gestión de los mismos, el software es muy fácil de utilizar.
Tengo varios productos de Touptek y nunca me han defraudado.

I already had a few clear nights to try out Stella Vita. It is really easy to Set Up and intuitive to use. Guiding performance is good, pinpoint stars. However, I miss the ability to feed the guide log into guide log Viewer.

since touptek announced their Pro version of the Stellavita I have been impatiently awaiting its launch!

rockchip 3588, octo-core CPU, GPU & NPU, 4 or 8 Gb, 256Gb storage (user modifiable) and a plethora of USB and power ports!!!

this will be a game changer!

with the advent of the new app (v2) this will make an already great product unbeatable!

sign me up!

having acquired a Stellavita over a year ago and "suffering" thru many issues I have to report that the new v2.0 app (ioS) and the 2.0.5 f/w update has perfected the s/w
experience with the Stellavita.

the unit still requires an external wifi dongle for "station" mode (which is my preferred mode of operation) but the range of the RPi CM4 onboard wifi seems
improved (with an aftermarket antenna) sadly the Stellavita does not appear to
function correctly in the presence of any USB hubs to make up for the use of one of
the 4x USB ports consumed by the external dongle which is needed when using the dongle with a full compliment of accessories attached!

the experience is easily comparable/competitive with other such astrocontrollers
and I can now recommend it, especially with the expanded device support it offers
vs its closed ecosystem competitors.

my only ask is that Touptek consider officially supporting INDI n/w access to the
Stellavita enabling other INDI based s/w such as ekos to be able to control the
devices ...

I have no doubt that with the addition of Alpaca to their competitors smart scope s/w this will soon appear in their astrocontroller as well ...

anyway I fully now recommend the Stellavita with the new s/w and f/w
