Smart telescopes like the Odyssey Pro are all about astrophotography. With a camera sensor instead of an optical eyepiece, the Odyssey Pro takes long exposures of the night sky and stacks them to create an ever-improving image that you can check the progress of on your smartphone. In that way, it’s no different from the other small smart telescopes available, chiefly the ZWO Seestar S50 and Vaonis Vespera II. However, it’s a big step up from its rivals in three ways. A Nikon-made eyepiece means it can be used just like a traditional telescope – unlike its rivals – it’s a significantly better telescope than the others, optically speaking, and, of course, it’s much more expensive.
