Save $400 on Unistellar smart telescopes for Father’s Day across their site.
Gift the universe this Father’s Day with a sizable discount on multiple smart telescopes that we recommend. In our Unistellar eVscope 2 review and eQuinox 2 review, we found that they work well in tandem with an easy-to-use app and can provide an immersive stargazing experience as well as good astrophotography features. That’s on top of the high-quality optics that feature in these telescopes. We haven’t yet reviewed the Odyssey models, but the specs are impressive too.

The advantage of having a smart telescope that works in tandem with an easy-to-use app is that it does all the heavy lifting for you. It may not be for ‘purists’ who want to navigate the night sky and find targets without technology but these telescopes will guide you and lock on to visible targets. They also come with a database of over 5000 celestial targets as well as over 37 million stars.
In terms of specs, the eQuinox 2 offers a 450mm focal length, a sizable 114mm mirror diameter and 6.2MP image resolution. That’s on top of an 11-hour battery life and the database mentioned above. The eVscope 2 offers the same focal length and a 114mm aperture on top of the 64GB storage and a useful magnification of 150x digital (optical, 50x).
The Odyssey line offers a shorter focal length and a slightly narrower mirror diameter but does benefit from the same database so you get a wider view of the cosmos, but you can still locate and track targets. The standard, Pro and Red Pro models are all $400 off.
