- ZWO Seestar enthusiast Dr. Kai Yung joins us again to show off an unusual and awesome way to use the Seestar: doing stellar spectroscopy! For only an extra $1??
Kai Yung studied Physics and Computer Science, with bachelor at Williams College and graduate studies at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. He has been involved in the high tech fields in the San Francisco Bay Area all of his career, from Biotech Instrumentation for the Human Genomics project, Software Architecture and Engineering for Social Networking before Mark Zuckerberg started his studies at Harvard, and Computer Vision, Robotics and Machine Learning at a local startup.
He retired just before the start of COVID, and has been tinkering with technology his whole life. He started the hobby of astrophotography before his retirement, and was one of the deciding factors for his early exit.
He was introduced to ZWO's Seestar at the first day of its introduction, and placed the order in the first 10 minutes. After receiving the unit, he was enchanted with its portability, cost, and potential, and found himself using and experimenting with it more than any of his other numerous AP rigs.

Amazing work getting so much out of this scope!
Thanks for the presentation Kai and TAIC.
Thanks for the awesome presentation!
Thank you for this presentation
Very good presentation. Thank you.
love ur videos
Pretty cool!
Hello Kai,
great & inspiring presentation !
Just one technical question: You are using a (Thorlabs ?) grating with 300 lines / mm.
Is this due to the fact that spectra from gratings with higher resolution will not fit onto the relatively small S50 chip ?
Would LOVE to hear from Eric and Tim about their eclipse results!!!!
We're having an eclipse image processing show on May 12! (Molly)
