Expert opinion

I recently had the opportunity to review the Unistellar eQuinox 2 Smart Telescope for light polluted cities. This telescope is a great choice for anyone looking to explore the night sky, even in heavily light polluted areas. The eQuinox 2 has enhanced vision capabilities that allow you to see stunning colors, such as Jupiter s great red spot and the pink and purple colors of the Orion Nebula. Additionally, this telescope allows you to participate in citizen science projects and contribute to real space research findings from NASA missions.

The eQuinox 2 comes with a dedicated app that turns your smartphone or tablet into a space control station. With this app, you can easily choose and observe stars with just one click away from the catalog of more than 5,000 objects. The app also provides detailed information about each target object, which makes exploring the universe even easier.

The eQuinox 2 is easy to assemble and use, even for beginners who may not have prior knowledge about telescopes. The manual focus feature makes it easy to adjust the lens precisely so you can get a clear view of your target object. Additionally, this telescope is lightweight at only 1 pound, making it easy to transport on trips or hikes for stargazing adventures.

This telescope offers great value for money compared to other similar models on the market today. It comes with everything you need an Unistellar Telescope Backpack so you dont have to worry about purchasing any extra accessories. The backpack makes it easy and convenient to take your telescope anywhere you want, while also providing additional protection against bumps and drops during transit.

Overall, I was very impressed with the Unistellar eQuinox 2 Smart Telescope for light polluted cities. It s an excellent choice for anyone who wants to explore the night sky without having to worry about light pollution obscuring their view. It s easy to use while still offering great features such as citizen science projects and detailed information about each object in its catalog. Furthermore, it s also lightweight and comes with a carrying bag that makes it easy to transport wherever your astronomy pursuits take you. Highly recommended!
