Hello and welcome.
I'd like to ask everyone who is using the Seastar or who knows about the current firmware update of the Seastar.
I heard from social media that the Seastar app just got a brand new firmware update recently, with a few improvements and a life improvement called 4k mode.
I haven't used my Seastar recently due to rainy weather, so I don't know what this 4k Mode is about.
If anyone has had a chance to use the Seastar then they could tell what this actually does?
Does it like creating a 4 resolution image for all frames or like upscales every  frame it does?
Or its like apply an 4k resolution to the image itself  from full HD when activated? I heard though it does drizzling but what ibdont really know is that in general what the 4k mode actually doing? 
I also wonder how its gonna be displayed when we stack all frames in a software like siril.

Here is a thread on the ZWO forum about it: https://bbs.zwoastro.com/d/24707-seestar-v26-has-been-released

Seems like it's just an internal 2x drizzle (i.e. the image has 4x the resolution) that only works in live view. Doesn't seem like it does anything to the individual subframes, so you'd need to drizzle separately if you're using a program like Siril.

So it's just a preview or it's applying a 4k resolution drizzle to the final image?

Just in live view but you've always had the ability to 2x drizzle with outside processing.
