Unistellar Odyssey

Technical Details: Unistellar Odyssey Fully Automated Smart Telescope

The Odyssey Fully Automated Smart Telescope from Unistellar makes astronomy accessible to beginners and seasoned stargazers alike. It removes the complexity of traditional telescopes by using advanced imaging sensors and processors instead of an optical eyepiece. Views of celestial objects are streamed directly to phones and tablets, allowing users to both observe and capture what they see. With its reflector-style optical tube, enhanced by Nikon High Precision Optics, the telescope delivers sharp images, autofocus across all ranges, and effective technology to reduce the impact of light pollution.

Key Features:

• Smart Star Finder system
• Seamless App Control
• Observing Near and Far
• Tackling Light Pollution and Maintaining Focus
• Precision Optics and Power

Smart Star Finder Technology

At the heart of the Odyssey is its Smart Star Finder system. This technology autonomously locates and tracks selected celestial objects, so there is no need for intricate settings or manual alignment. By simply choosing from the catalogue in the Unistellar App, users can enjoy remarkable sights such as the shimmering Orion Nebula or follow the progress of a comet's glowing tail with accuracy and ease.

Seamless App Control

The Unistellar App, available on both iOS and Android, acts as the command centre of the Odyssey. Its database features over 5000 celestial objects, including nebulae, galaxies, and planets, as well as a vast star catalogue of 37 million entries. The telescope itself is equipped with 64GB of onboard storage, allowing users to save their observations directly within the system for later viewing and sharing.

Observing Near and Far

Unlike conventional telescopes that rely on switching eyepieces for magnification, the Odyssey allows seamless transitions between observing objects in our solar system and those in the distant universe. From the swirling storms on Jupiter to the delicate pink tones of the Orion Nebula and the spiralling arms of the Triangulum Galaxy, the telescope provides consistent quality without any need to change instruments, ensuring uninterrupted exploration.

Tackling Light Pollution and Maintaining Focus

Unistellar's Deep Dark Technology combats the effects of light pollution, even in brightly lit cities. This denoising algorithm delivers crisp, deep-black backgrounds that highlight cosmic details otherwise lost to urban glare. Alongside this, Unistellar's Stellar Autofocus continuously refines sharpness during observations, ensuring that every detail remains vivid and clear throughout long sessions under the night sky.

Precision Optics and Power

Built with Nikon High Precision Optics, the Odyssey features an 85mm primary mirror, a 24mm secondary mirror, and a focal length of 320mm. With a limiting magnitude of 17.2, it can detect faint deep-sky objects far beyond the reach of the naked eye. The system is powered by a rechargeable USB-C battery pack with up to five hours of runtime and is designed to operate in temperatures ranging from 5 to 35oC. Combined with its integrated motorised alt-azimuth mount and sturdy tripod, the Odyssey delivers precision, reliability, and ease of use in every observation.
