Smart telescopes

The ambitious mission Unistellar has set itself is nothing less than making the universe accessible to as many people as possible. Mission accomplished for this French start-up. Its Amplified Vision technology gathers light, enabling users to observe numerous galaxies, nebulae and comets in unprecedented detail and colour – even in the heart of the city for the brightest objects – thanks to its ability to largely offset the effects of light pollution.

Easy to use thanks to an automatic star-tracking system, eVscope telescopes – and their latest model, the Odyssey – offer users a viewing experience comparable to that provided by conventional telescopes a hundred times larger. Every user can take advantage of this power and simplicity to become a citizen astronomer, contributing to scientific advances by generating data used by professional astronomers at the SETI Institute.

The start-up has chosen Altyor’s ScaleUp programme to co-develop and manufacture these unique telescopes, which are 100% designed in France. At Altyor, they refer to this as precision mechatronic assembly. The number of parts, the optical and motorization requirements once again demonstrated our flexibility in producing such a technologically complex product.
