Receiving a fantastic 4.5 out of 5 stars in our review of the Unistellar Odyssey Pro, we were impressed by the color rendition and noise suppression as well as its ability to handle light pollution from nearby towns — this is thanks to Unistellar’s Deep Dark Technology. This made for wonderful and detailed images of nebulas and star clusters. Not only did we rate it highly in our review, but we also voted it as the best for versatility in our best smart telescopes guide, highlighting its transportability as a key feature.

While $4499 on a smart telescope might sound excessive, we think $3350 sounds like a healthier number — and, from our experience, we can say it’s totally worth the investment.
The Unistellar Odyssey Pro has an 85mm aperture and a wide field of view, meaning you will be able to successfully image nebulae and galaxies. This smart telescope will bring them up close and personal, like you’ve never seen them before. And, if that’s not enough, this smart telescope is portable so you can easily take it with you wherever you are for a different stargazing experience, whether that’s on holiday, round a friend’s house or away from light pollution in the countryside. Its automated nature and portability make it ideal for beginner astronomers who are keen to get going.
