Unistellar Odyssey Pro smart telescope review: Approachable in every way but the price
- The Unistellar Odyssey Pro smart telescope offers an easy and flexible viewing experience, solving many astrophotography complaints but comes with a steep price of $3,999.
- The telescope is compact, lightweight, and easy to set up, featuring an Alt-Azimuth mount for full tracking capabilities and a sturdy tripod for stability.
- Connectivity is reliant on the Unistellar app for functions such as orientation. The telescope has a five-hour battery life, USB-C charging, and 64GB storage for imaging.
- The Odyssey Pro uses an 85mm mirror diameter and a 4.1-megapixel sensor for viewing, with an eyepiece for a more traditional experience and OLED micro-display for immersive viewing.
- The Unistellar app simplifies the astronomy process with tools like a catalog of celestial objects, motorized mount tracking, image processing, and manual controls.
- Astrophotography with the Odyssey Pro is made easy with Deep Dark Technology, reducing light pollution effects and producing quality images with minimal fuss.
- While the telescope excels in simplifying stargazing and providing impressive results, drawbacks include limited Wi-Fi range, app dependence, and the high price point.
- The Odyssey Pro's portability, intuitive design, and ability to connect multiple apps make it suitable for social stargazing events, despite some drawbacks.
- Overall, the Unistellar Odyssey Pro offers an approachable astronomy experience but may not justify its high cost for all users, making the more affordable Odyssey a viable alternative.
- Key specs include a focal length of 320mm, 85mm mirror diameter, f/3.9 focal ratio, 4.1-megapixel image resolution, motorized Alt-Az mount, 5000+ object database, and 5-hour battery life.
