Unistellar reimagines telescope with innovative eVscope

Techstination feature for Thursday, February 8, 2018

Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.   Some new technology for exploring the night sky.    Unistellar Optics captured an innovation award at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show for the eVscope telescope.   Chief Scientific Officer Franck Marchis…says the idea is to use enhanced electronic imaging…

“With this eVscope, the technology is basically accumulating light, so there is a sensor that captures the light, the photons coming from the target.  There’s a computer that cleans the images and makes them better and then there is a projector that projects the image into your eye.”

With far greater detail and magnification than other telescopes of a similar size can deliver.  The pricing will likely be about fifteen hundred dollars when it arrives later this year.  There’s more at UnistellarOptics.com.
