Description
Automated telescope that’s incredibly easy to use, requiring no prior astronomy knowledge. Start capturing images with assisted viewing. Compact, lightweight, and controllable from smartphone/tablet. New version features a larger sensor.
The digital technology and the development of smartphone and tablet applications have revolutionized the world of astronomy in recent years. Unistellar, a French start-up, has taken this philosophy one step further by incorporating a range of patented technologies into their telescope. The eVscope/eQuinox (Enhanced Vision Telescope) is the culmination of 5 years of research and development by 4 French innovators, designed to enable everyone – whether beginners in astronomy or simply curious about the night sky – to discover space and its wonders without any prior knowledge in the field. Whether for hobbyists or experts, the eVscope/eQuinox offers a quick and easy-to-install solution as a complement to your existing equipment.
Unistellar Equinox SMART Telescope
The Unistellar Equinox SMART Telescope offers rapid setup, ready to use in less than 2 minutes after powering on.
Key Features:
- Ultra-fast setup, ready to use in less than 2 minutes after powering on
- Built-in rechargeable battery for hours of wireless observation
- Automatic pointing of objects without any alignment required, thanks to automatic star recognition within the field of view
- Viewing of celestial objects from tablets and smartphones, with multiple devices simultaneously
- Observation of objects even from urban centers thanks to patented light pollution cleaning routine
- Unistellar community with opportunities for scientific observation of asteroids, comets, or exoplanets
- Once the Unistellar app is downloaded, no internet connection is required to use it
How It Works:
- Download the Unistellar app and connect the device to the telescope via WiFi (network created by the telescope)
- Perform an initial synchronization at a random point in the sky: the telescope will recognize the stars in that field to determine their positions and alignment
- Choose an object to point at: objects are categorized or by constellations
- The telescope will point to an area of the sky near the object, resynchronize, and then accurately point to the object
- You can now start “digitally observing” it: as time progresses, the object will become more detailed and brighter. In just a few tens of seconds, you can also observe it from illuminated areas through your device’s monitor!
- Finally, you can observe objects that are IMPOSSIBLE to see with a normal telescope (even large ones) in an urban or plain sky.
Particularly Suitable for:
- Schools and universities
- Astronomy outreach
- Astronomical associations, observatories, and planetariums
- Hotels and resorts
- Events
