Unistellar eQuinox 2 - Smart Telescope for light polluted cities
Description
The eQuinox 2 is an innovative smart telescope that brings the wonders of space within reach, even in brightly lit urban areas.
Our technology eliminates the need for expertise in complex instruments, so you can effortlessly unlock the wonders of space with our user-friendly technology.
Observe galaxies, nebulae, and planets in full colour from even the most urban areas. Enjoy the click-and-wow telescope that is ready to explore space in just two minutes from anywhere.
Autonomous Field Detection
The eQuinox 2 ensures more time exploring space and less time setting up or calibrating. Our system instantly recognizes the objects in its field of view by comparing what it sees with a coordinates database of tens of millions of stars.
This allows the eQuinox 2 automated tracking and pointing system to be extremely accurate and easy to use, making it by far the most user-friendly telescope on the market.
Autonomous Field Detection also allows it to inform you about what you are observing (distance from the Earth, etc.).
Enhanced Vision
Enhanced Vision is a patented proprietary technology that allows a live observation of faint objects thanks to the live accumulation of the light we receive from them. Galaxies, nebulae and comets finally become visible, colourful and detailed.
Depending on observing conditions (light pollution, moon phase, weather, etc…) and the objects you are pointing, it only takes a few seconds for you to start seeing the beautiful colors and shapes of galaxies and nebulae normally invisible, even through the eyepiece of a large conventional telescope.
Smart Light Pollution Reduction
Light pollution, the presence of excessive and unwanted artifical lighting, renders celestial objects invisible to the human eye. Even cameras and computers are challenged by it as it blurs objects, distorts shapes and adds "noise" to pictures.
Unistellar's proprietary software swiftly mitigates the impact of light pollution and allows for distant objects to be observed in crisp detail, even from bright inner-city environments, delivering the best possible image parameters and results. Users benefit from more precise images with better contrasts and colors, regardless of the level of brightness of the sky.
Powerful scientific device with a global community
By partnering up with astronomers from the SETI Institute and other institutions, Unistellar Explorers can conduct valuable space science such as protecting Earth by detecting a hazardous asteroid, discovering and confirming the existence of a hot Jupiter around a distant star, or even uncovering the mysteries of a comet or supernova.
As part of the Unistellar Network - the first global community of 5000+ connected telescope users - they get to exchange with professional astronomers and learn from their observations.
Dedicated App
With the push of a button and tap of the app, your Unistellar telescope recommends the most spectacular targets and launches into deep-space observations, in minutes.
With a catalogue of over 5,000 objects to choose from, use the app to learn about and identify cosmic objects, including which objects are ideal for viewing from your location. Save and share your experience with others – in person or virtually – with your connected tech.
The Unistellar app provides captivating educational content and automates your observing experience, so that novices can enjoy their device right away. The app also offers manual controls for advanced users.
