Seestars are notorious for strangling themselves with their own cords. ZWO claims this was fixed in a summer 2025 update. They must not have fixed it well, because since that time, several solutions have presented themselves.
Slip Rings
Recommended: ChargeOrbit
Information on the ChargeOrbit device can be found at https://chargeorbit.info/ . This is a very thin device and is our recommended solution.
Painless Power
Information on the Painless Power device can be found at https://painlesstom.com/painlesspower.html . Pay attention to which option you choose and how it is connected to power. One option uses cigarette lighter plugs, which will require a power supply with a cigarette lighter outlet.
Carlos Method
The "Carlos Method" is colloquially named for its inventor. You can find out more about it at https://starpicturesmiami.com/2025/06/22/s50-how-to-avoid-cable-wrap-in-eq-mode/.
