Unistellar eVscope eQuinox Digital Telescope

Unistellar eVscope eQuinox Digital Telescope

As part of the Unistellar Network, eQuinox users get to exchange in dialogue with professional astronomers and space aficionados. Hear about projections, plan observations, get help capturing a target, and receive actionable tips for collecting and submitting data. Learn about light curves and data modeling, have your observations confirmed, and see your data put into action through charts, visuals, and 3D prints.

Citizen Science

The Unistellar Network is the first global community of citizen astronomers, 5 000 strong and counting. With every new user comes a new citizen scientist, fuelling Unistellar’s ever more powerful global array of connected telescopes, each capable of delivering scientifically valuable observations. Partnership with the SETI Institute.

Easy Setup

The eQuinox can be set up in a few seconds, and, within minutes, you can explore numerous deep-space objects. Observe and navigate space using any smartphone or tablet (even if your device is outside, while you enjoy the cozy comforts of home). Easily share your experience with others: Up to 10 people at once can observe space while their smartphone or tablet is connected to the eQuinox.

Enhanced Vision

Enhanced Vision is 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, colorful, and detailed.

Autonomous Field Detection

The eVscope eQuinox ensures more time exploring space and less time setting up or calibrating. The 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 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).

Smart Light Pollution Reduction

Light pollution renders celestial objects invisible to the human eye and conventional direct-view telescopes, because the human brain cannot filter, process, and prioritize light sources. Unistellar’s proprietary software mitigates the impact of light pollution and allows for distant objects to be observed in crisp detail, even from bright inner-city environments. For each observation, Unistellar’s technology will quickly identify background light, then automatically filters and removes this unwanted light. Thus delivering the best possible image parameters and results. You will benefit from more precise images with better contrasts and colors, regardless of the level of brightness of the sky (urban light pollution, moonlight).

Dedicated App

A dedicated app, mission control for your outer space explorations

With the push of a button and tap of the app, your eQuinox recommends the most spectacular targets and launches into deep-space observations, in minutes. With a catalog 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.
