Unistellar eQuinox 2 vs eVscope 2: Unistellar is known for its smart telescopes that make deep-sky objects visible, even from illuminated cities. But what are the differences between the eQuinox 2 and the eVscope 2? In this comparison, we explain which model suits you best, depending on your observation goals, comfort level, and desired image […]
Unistellar eVscope 2 vs Vespera Pro: if you’re looking for the very best smart telescope, you’ll quickly find yourself considering the Unistellar eVscope 2 and the Vaonis Vespera Pro. Both models aim for serious astrophotography with minimal effort. But the differences are greater than they appear. In this blog, we compare everything side by side: […]
The Vespera II vs Vespera Pro: When considering high-end smart telescopes, the Vespera II and Vespera Pro by Vaonis are common choices. While similar in design, they have crucial differences in sensor, image quality, and software features. In this comparison, you’ll discover which one better suits your observation or astrophotography needs. Vespera II vs Vespera […]
Seestar S30 vs S50: The Seestar S50 set a new standard for smart telescopes in 2023. When ZWO later released the cheaper Seestar S30, many wondered: “Is this just a stripped-down version or is there more to it?” In this comprehensive comparison, we dive into the technical differences, image quality, and real user experiences. Whether […]
The night sky in August 2025 is exceptionally interesting this year for anyone who enjoys looking up. Not only because the summer months offer warm, clear nights, but also due to a special planet parade where six planets are visible simultaneously. Add to that the annual Perseid meteor shower and you have one of the […]
Telescope collimation is the alignment of mirrors in a Newtonian or Dobsonian telescope to achieve a razor-sharp image. Without collimation, your telescope won’t perform at its full potential. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be difficult: with the right tools, it can be done within minutes, even for beginners. What is Telescope Collimation? In a reflector […]
The best telescopes for planets have a long focal length, sharp optics, and sufficient aperture to reveal details on Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars. In this blog, you’ll discover which type of telescope is most suitable for planetary observation, what to look for as a beginner, and which models offer the best value for money. Why […]
A refractor telescope is a telescope that uses lenses to collect light and form an image of objects in the sky. It’s the classic type of telescope that most people imagine: a long, straight tube with a lens at the front and an eyepiece at the back. In this blog, we explain how this system […]
What is a reflector telescope? It’s a question many beginning stargazers ask. A reflector telescope is a type of telescope that uses mirrors to collect light and show a magnified image of celestial bodies. Unlike a lens telescope (refractor), with a reflector you observe the universe through a clever system of mirrors. In this blog, […]
The question what can you see with a smart telescope is common among beginning astrophotographers and stargazers. Smart telescopes promise simplicity, automatic tracking, and impressive photos—but what can you really see with them? In this blog, we provide a realistic overview of the possibilities, including examples of deep-sky objects and tips per object type. Deep-sky […]
