This smart telescope allows you to observe galaxies, nebulae and planets in full color from even the most urban brightly lit areas. You can enjoy the beauty of deep space, protect the planet against near-earth asteroids, conduct hands-on science, and so much more.

No advanced training is required to begin your eQuinox 2 outer space adventure. Novices and pros alike can grow their space discoveries and science skills, using one powerful, portable smart device.

 

Autonomous Field Detection

Enjoy the click-and-wow telescope: in just one minute, the eQuinox 2 is unpacked and at work, a minute later you could be observing the Whirlpool galaxy in full color and detail.

Our Autonomous Field Detection technology allows it to quickly orient itself in the sky, even when only a few stars are visible. Using your smartphone’s GPS, it can locate itself on Earth and access its own database of millions of stars. With this technology, the telescope can spot stars that are not visible to the naked eye and compare their positions to its database to accurately determine its pointing location.

Enhanced Vision Technology utilizes image stacking and live image processing techniques to provide a truly unique viewing experience of outer space.

By optimizing the images captured live by the telescope, this technology allows for unparalleled views of the cosmos.

Pre-owned Equinox2

I already owned the original Equinox which had given me many hours of enjoyment. However, when Unistellar enhanced their firmware with vivid vision, my "old" telescope was not capable of using it. I was disappointed because I didn't want to spend the full price on the EQ2 just for the new updates. But then I chanced upon Astro Telescopium and found they had a pre-owned one available at a reasonable price. The amazing thing was that, besides the discounted price, it included the backpack which, itself, is quite expensive. It was like I was getting the pack for free. Because this was a pre-owned scope, I called Astro Telescopium and the salesperson assured me that the pre-owned scope had been thoroughly examined and was "as good as new." So, I bought it. And I am glad I did, because not only was I able to use vivid vision, but this scope reveals better detail than the EQ1. I have taken it outside in my light-polluted skies in suburban St. Louis and it has performed remarkably well.

Also, after receiving the scope, I checked it out and could find no blemishes/scratches etc. other than a tiny smudge on the outside of the OTA; it appears that it was just a bit of an ink smear used to print the name (Unistellar) on the surface. In addition, using a flashlight, I checked the mirror to see what condition it was in. I was concerned, had the scope been used before, that it might be covered in dust, as my EQ1 is now, but no, not at all. The mirror was perfectly clean and without blemish.

All in all, I am very happy with my purchase and have no qualms recommending Astro Telescopium as a source for pre-owned equipment. I will certainly contact them again if I am ever in need of additional pre-owned equipment.

Pre-owned is a great way to go!

The Equinox 2 and included carry case were in great physical condition, and arrived within a few days of ordering. I contacted the company with a couple of questions and they immediately responded with helpful suggestions. Awesome company to do business with. I also like the weekly newsletter that is not junked up with a ton of ads. Images were obtained in typical (Bortle 7) residential light pollution.
