In our Unistellar eQuinox 2 review, we gave the Unistellar an impressive four and a half stars out of five. We thought that this was an easy-to-use motorized smart telescope that delivered high-resolution astrophotography.
It's also simple to use, and can go to night sky objects with the press of a button, and viewed via the Unistellar app, rather than traditonal eyepiece observation found in the best telescopes.
The Unistellar eQuinox 2 looks identical to its predecessor, the eQuinox, but has a higher-resolution image sensor, which gives greater detail of the night sky. It also has a larger field of view.
What is appealing to the modern skywatcher is that, rather than using a viewfinder, the telescope wirelessly connects to your smartphone via Unistellar's app. Images from the eQuinox 2 are then shown on your phone screen, which also lets you control the telescope.
Elsewhere, we loved the smart light pollution reduction feature, ideal for users who don't live near a dark sky site and want to use it in their backyard.
The Unistellar eQuinox 2 smart telescope also impressed us with its branded tripod, which comes included, and the package is completed with a lens cap that doubles as a Bahtinov mask, battery and charger, and a set of adjustment tools too.
