Astronomy is hard. Telescope s are fiddly, light pollution ruins much of what they can see anyway, and that’s before we even get to Mr Musk’s fleet of satellites spoiling the view. The Unistellar Odyssey Pro does a stunningly good job of making it simple to observe the wonders of the night sky.
With a focal length of 320mm and mirror diameter of 85mm, it's capable of capturing nebula and galaxies that you can scarcely believe are there when you stare at the same spot of sky with the naked eye. You don’t need to worry about fiddly mirror alignment or focusing, all that’s handled automatically. The only thing you really need worry about is making sure the telescope is level atop its sturdy tripod. A spirit level bubble built into the top of the tripod eases this task.The accompanying Unistellar app is tremendous. Not only does it connect to the telescope with ease, but uses location data to identify what you’ll be able to see in the sky that night from your specific spot.
When it does lock in on something, however, it’s one of those moments where you drag the family outside and watch the smiles form as they look at the image. You can view the telescopes output either through the app or the eyepiece, the latter being what sets the “Pro” model apart from its much cheaper sibling.
