Johnny, Thanks for these excellent reviews of the eVscope. Unistellar should be paying you! I likely will buy one soon. I live in New Braunfels and suspect we live close to one another. I am just re-exploring astronomy in my retirement. Thanks Again for this and your dedication in sharing.
I like the remark you "can't look through an eyepiece anymore", but see it clearly on a screen. This was exactly my problem as well, so I considered buying this eVscope. Now the app has been upgraded recently: it is a somewhat different. Maybe worth redoing a video with the new interface.
Great video, i cant decide between celestron evolution 6,8 or the unisteller. I have 51 yrs old eyes with stigmatism. I am more interested in looking at the planets. No one is making any videos of unisteller looking at the planets. Never had a telescope. Any advice would be appreciated.
I tried the planets and was not satisfied for planet viewing. From Unistellar "KEY TAKEAWAYS The eVscope 2 and the eQuinox were designed to observe very faint celestial objects that are very large but very far, like nebulae and galaxies, or very small but very close ones, like asteroids and comets; in contrast, the moon and most of the planets in our solar system are considered very bright; observing the Moon and planets is done in “live view” mode (as opposed to "enhanced vision" mode) and will not play on the eVscope 2 and the eQuinox strengths. The resulting images will not be significantly better than the ones that can be observed in a regular telescope of a similar size."
@@outtherewithjohnny thank you for your reply, I asked because on evacope UA-cam page, there is a video about a guy was watching the moon and by mistake he recorded a rocket.
Unfortunately due to the 450 focal length only the core region of Andromeda is visible. The new EvScope2 does have slight more FOV but not sure how much more it would see. There will be more events with this Smart Telescope coming up in the near future.
I have not had the opportunity to review the Stellina. However, from what I have seen from others it really comes down to personal preference. My preference was aperture. 150mm vs. 80mm made my choice easy. However the features offered between the two are very different. I am 100% OK with my purchase of the Unistellar Equinox. It has performed well for me. I am waiting for galaxy season to do another in depth review.
@@TheHelicapt It has one single improvement that would make it worth getting or upgrading to if personal funding allowed. The imaging sensor has better resolution and slightly increases the FOV. The new eyepiece is sharper and has better color resolution as well. I personally would get the new version if I had the funds. However with that said I am still very happy with the Equinox version.
You are correct. I have all those. However, it's the star party sharing ability that is the reason I purchased this one. 10 people linking to the scope with their tablets/phones and capturing their own image excites people and is great for science outreaches with schools.
Great video, I will probably use my Surface for viewing moving forward.

Thanks for another wonderful video!
You are very welcome
im so excited, mine is due on monday.. thanks for the great videos
You are very welcome. I am glad you are enjoying the videos

Hello, can you record a video? Or just photos?
Just stacked photos.

More videos like this please.. Andromeda Galaxy would be a great target

Which tele is better this one or Stellina ?

Got it. What’s your thoughts on the new uninstellar version 2?

@@outtherewithjohnny The EVscope Equinox is only 114mm.
For $3,000 you could have gotten an 8" astrograph on an equatorial goto mount and a DSLR camera. And an eyepiece to boot.

@@outtherewithjohnny That is a solid reason. Pretty cool.
