UNISTELLAR - EQUINOX 2 - Smart Digital Telescope - Beginners and Experienced Users - iPhone and Android Compatible - 114mm Aperture - Autofocus

Does what it says on the tin and moreReally happy with it

I’ve used this bag on a few occasions and in my opinion is no different in quality to a £50 rucksack. The fact they are charging over £500 for (which I at the moment is £200 over the list price on unistellas website) is criminal! There are far, far cheaper ways to protect your scope - DO NOT BUY!

After initial problems connecting and getting to know how to use the iPhone app, this telescope became very easy to use, and I was able to take pretty good images of deep space objects with it (see attached image of the M81 Bode's Galaxy collected through hazy cloud over 10minutes - the Unistellar tracks and processes the data automatically while I went and brewed up a cup of tea!). Compare this to the trials and tribulation (and disappointments) of astrophotography with a battery of cheaper (and not so cheap) telescopes, motorised mounts, DSLRs, eyepiece cameras etc, and hours of messing with computer stacking programs - this is indeed a short cut to enjoying the night sky for people who want to 'do' astronomy rather than mess with equipment!The reasons for awarding it 4 rather than 5 starts is: firstly, the high cost; and secondly, the fact that the instructions could be clearer and more comprehensive. For example: advice on possible problems connecting to your smartphone; and how to focus and collimate the telescope (the latter both turn out to be a lot easier than conventional telescopes - but only after finding and understanding the correct section in the online help).I would point out that there will a limit to the quality of the images attainable with the Unistellar Equinox 2 compared to more expensive and/or complex astrophotography set-up, but its results are much more surely and easily attained.In my opinion, this telescope could be ideal for schools or other youth organisations wishing to cultivate interest in the Cosmos. Its is a pity that it could not be pitched at a lower price level - it would wipe the floor with conventional astronomical telescope designs.

Like the backpack to transport my Unistellar telescope. Wished the tripod was inside the backpack. Works great to transport outdoors.

アプリが２ヶ月前に全面的に変更になっているのに、取扱説明書が付属されていません。とても混乱しています。ホームページの隅っこに表示を見つけましたが、詳しい説明はありませんでした。高価な品物なのにありえない。なんとかして欲しい。星一つ以下はないので最低限です。

I like everything about this product. It probably is a bit pricey for what it is, but if you are going to buy one of the Unistellar products, this is a necessity. I highly recommend it.

I bought this specifically so that I would watch the deep space objects really surpass that what I can see in my large optical telescopes. This promised to deliver. I found two things 1) The eyepiece doesn't work. One owner told me that sometimes the eyepiece will work and sometimes it won't and sometimes it requires a reboot of the scope. He's had his for a year now and primarily skips the eyepiece and just uses his phone. 2) The images in the ads for this scope really don't happen nearly as quickly as you'd think. This boasts huge light gathering power but to get an image any brighter than my Celestron 11" SCT would take 2 hours of this scope stacking images internally. That's a long time to wait and the images aren't as sharp as seen through the optical counterparts. I bought this for its size and weight and powerful light gathering ability and an eyepiece that my wife demanded so she could look directly through the scope. Is is a VERY expensive scope. Very disappointed and nothing from Unistellar after 2 emails. I only heard from them after posting this on FB - it's going back to them. Used only 1x to see if it worked. Unistellar tried to get me to exchange this since they said the eyepiece was defective. But more issues as noted than the eyepiece. They told me there were a number of imaging adjustments that could be made but their manual mentions nothing of any of those adjustments, just the very basics and it is imperative to orient the scope to the night sky or it won't work...totally omitted from their simple manual. All original equipment and tools, information, manual that came with this are being returned exactly as received. I will give it a plus in the ease of setup and the goto and tracking capability, their strong suit. Perhaps in several years when they've got the bugs out of these wonder scopes I'll try another. Right now it's definitely not worthy of the high price point asked.
