Unistellar Odyssey review: this smart telescope replaces an eyepiece with a camera sensor for exquisite urban astrophotography

Unistellar Odyssey telescope outside.

If you're after a serious, high-end smart telescope but don't want to pay the high prices for Unistellar's 'Expert' range—chiefly the eVscope 2 and the eVscope eQuinox 2—the Odyssey is an attractive option in the company’s drop-down 'Discovery' range.

An entry-level smart telescope, Odyssey is essentially an all-in-one astrophotography rig. It captures light from the night sky and lets it fall only onto a camera sensor, taking long exposures of faint objects. It automatically stacks them as it observes, applying post-processing algorithms to build a clean and colorful image that appears in a smartphone app.
