Humans have always been fascinated by the night sky, but figuring out how to use a telescope can be a challenge.so CES in Las Vegas, Unistellar believes the Equinox 2 smart telescope provides the perfect solution.
“When I was a teenager, I had a telescope that I used on long summer nights. As an adult, I no longer have time to do astronomy. ,” Unistellar co-founder and CEO Laurent Marfisi said in an interview with TechCrunch. “We thought of a telescope that would be easy to use, powerful enough to see through light pollution, and potentially reveal galaxies and nebulae you couldn’t see even when you were a teenager. “It’s about bringing a lot of the power that the pros have in astronomy into the everyday lives of consumers who want to have fun but also spend quality time with their kids and friends around astronomy.”

Telescopes don’t have eyepieces, so you’ll have to use an app to control and capture the magic of the night sky. The app is aware of his 5,000+ celestial bodies that can be explored, and uses his phone’s GPS to figure out where they are in the world. Then look around and recognize specific stars to pinpoint exactly where you are looking.
The eQuinox 2 Smart Telescope retails for $2,499, is available for pre-sale now, and will be available worldwide next month.
