As I wrote in my review of the eVscope eQuinox: This stacking allows otherwise invisible deep sky objects to become visible. Enhanced Vision is Unistellar’s name for the automatic stacking of images. I mentioned Enhanced Vision earlier, and that is truly what makes this scope special (and where the eVscope gets its name). With those dark frames, it adjusts and automatically fixes the hot pixels. Select “Take Dark Frame” and let the telescope take shots with the cap on. Just place the cap on the telescope and head over to the “User” page of the app. That should serve as a reminder, always take a dark frame! It is really simple with the eVscope. It could have been a pretty good image, but those red and blue hot pixels don’t look great. Embarrassingly, I forgot to take a dark frame before my taking my first “Enhanced Vision” image, so this was my first image from the eVscope 2: Using the eVscope 2įor the first night with the eVscope 2 I made the same settings changes that I did with the eQuinox, enabling “auto save image when exiting Enhanced Vision” and disabling “Add an Overlay when saving an image,” then I started taking photos. If you are looking for a smart-telescope, your options right now are basically the eVscope 2 ($4,199), the eVscope eQuinox ( $2,999), or Stellina ( $3,999). Unistellar truly forged the pathway for a high-end, smart, all-in-one telescope. There are few telescopes like the eVscope. I wanted to see whether the team at Unistellar had addressed the reliability issues I encountered (Spoiler alert, they have). So when Unistellar announced the eVscope 2 in September, I was eager to get my hands on a unit. As I said in my review of the eQuinox:Ī night of looking at deep sky objects should not be interrupted by the app itself crashing, or the phone and telescope disconnecting. Overall, I enjoyed using the eQuinox, but there were some software changes that I really wanted to see, the most major change being in reliability. But this year, Unistellar released its second product, the eVscope eQuinox, which I had the opportunity to try out and review this summer. The company has been around since its first Kickstarter back in 2017 for the original eVscope. This year has been a big year for Unistellar.
