I discovered the smart telescopes with Unistellar. At first you are amazed by what you see. But after a while you get back to earth and realise there are (much) better products out there.<br><br>I had an evscope2 - quite expensive. We re talking 4700eur + solar filter 250eur.. it's a nice and impressive piece of equipment, qualitative but don't think about walking around too much with it.<br><br>First, the set up. It's much simpler than an old school telescope but it's also not that simple.<br>You need to do the focus manually with the Bahtinov mask (look for a start before) and every month or so do the collimation (which is not easy at all - I got it perfeclty right only once).<br><br>Then you start looking for a target and observing. It's quite nice for the Sun, the Moon and the biggest planets (Jupiter/Saturn can guess the rings) and a few of the most famous and visible galaxies and nebulae but for the more faint ones, forget about it. You will have to stay for hours and hours on the same target before even starting to see something.<br><br>And even for the easy targets, the resutls isn't really great. Pictures are quite low quality and pixel-ly. Very very far from the images they show you on the website that are all post-edited by pros.<br><br>Then, the eyepiece that you get on those ''expert'' scope are just a useless gadget since it shows a digital image, the same you see on your smartphone/tablet and if by mistake you touch the scope when watching, you can restart your observation.<br><br>I got very frustated as when I finally got the collimation right (after almost a year of use), they implemented some awful updates that created a lot of gradients on all the pics... luckily I managed to resell it fast and find a much better product with the competition.<br><br>If you absolutely want to go for a Unistellar scope, go for the basic Odissey even though it is still quite expensive, especially versus some competitors: Vaonis or Seestar particularly. You will get very decent images after only 15-20 minutes. All is automated and they are quite cheaper. And you can travel with those..<br><br>My advice: check the smart scopes available on the market, join the Insta/facebook groups of each brand and check images.
