[EN VIDÉO] Test of the Unistellar eVscope, a telescope like no other We tested the eVscope from the French startup Unistellar. EV for “enhanced vision”, amplified vision. Equipped with a very sensitive sensor, this new kind of connected instrument reveals the objects of the cosmos to you, as no other telescope can do.
The eVscope (Enhanced Vision Telescope) of the society Unistellar continues its revolutionastronomy by allowing everyone to do citizen science in a way that they would not have dared to dream or Newton or Charles Messier or even John Herschel. This telescope revolutionary is now available in two versions, the most accessible to all, which Futura has already talked about at length in an article, namely eQuinoxand the latest version more prestigious and presented in the video below.
Just recently, Unistellar took stock of what has been accomplished in 2021 by the hundreds ofastronomers amateur citizens already forming a global network of eVscope users on the Planet. In partnership with the prestigious Seti Institute, these men and women did nothing less than detect and pinpoint the characteristics of asteroids NEOsof trojans of jupiter but also ofexoplanets in the Milky Way, which even gave rise to a contribution to a publication in The Astrophysical Journal Lettersavailable on arXivabout exoplanet WASP-148ba Hot Jupiter.
Unistellar’s eVscope 2 incorporates newly developed state-of-the-art technology, Nikon’s electronic eyepiece technology. eVscope 2 users discover the beauty and secrets of deep space, faster and more clearly than ever before; they can also challenge the frontiers of our knowledge in partnership with scientists through daily and convivial observation campaigns.

Become a citizen astronomer of the world of exoplanets and asteroids
Although we can say that we are stilldawn adventure with the global eVscope network currently being deployed, the results for 2021 alone are spectacular since the Unistellar press release reports 395 asteroid observations, planetary transit detection for 413 exoplanets and the carrying out 11 observation campaigns to better understand the population of near-Earth objects that could collide with the Earth and cause damage. These campaigns led to the detection of 113 NEOs or more exactly what is called near-Earth asteroids (NEA) which are not necessarily NEOs in the strict sense of the term.
