With a 3.3 inch (85 mm) aperture and 4.1MP image sensor, this smart telescope is a dream to capture galaxies and nebulae. When using “Enhanced Vision” mode, the telescope builds a more powerful image of deep-sky targets by stacking four-second exposures to create more detailed images.
It boasts excellent image quality (although not very ideal for planets), is powerful, yet portable enough to be easily carried and packed. This is the lightest smart telescope that Unistellar offers, so it’s good for taking to dark sky locations, but I also used it to overcome light pollution when using it from a balcony in the city center.
We praised the Unistellar Odyssey Pro for its ease of use. As powerful as it is, even beginners can capture high-quality images with just a few presses of a button, and the smartphone app uses a database of over 5,000 night sky objects to give you all the controls you need.
Main features: 3.3 inch (85 mm) aperture, 4.1 MP image sensor, 320 mm focal length, motorized ortho-azimuth mount, 5 hours battery life, weight 8.8 lb (4 kg).
