Can you mount this on a normal tripod rather than the included tiny tripod?
Asked by: Charlie the Crab
Supposedly - yes - insofar as people are also doing it with its "big brother" the S50. You MIGHT have to get a conversion bolt (I haven't tested this yet - on the TODO list) for 1/4" ---> 3/8" for the tripod.

Asked by: Chris
The Zwo Seestar S30 can provide very nice views even from light-polluted cities. The telescope employs an air-spaced triplet apochromatic lens system and is equipped with light-pollution filters. You can manually switch to anti-light pollution filters from the APP to improve image quality in light polluted environments.
