Unistellar launches Odyssey Pro smart telescope with advanced features and high price tag

The Unistellar Odyssey Pro is a new smart telescope that simplifies astronomy and astrophotography. It features easy setup, a sturdy tripod, and a connection to a smartphone app for operation. However, it costs $3,999, which is significantly higher than its predecessor. The telescope uses a 4.1-megapixel sensor and offers high-quality images, even in light-polluted areas. It includes a unique eyepiece with an OLED display for enhanced viewing. The app provides access to a catalog of over 5,000 celestial objects. Despite its advantages, the Odyssey Pro has limitations, including a short Wi-Fi range and reliance on the app for operation. Users cannot control the telescope without a connected device. The price difference between this model and the more affordable Odyssey raises questions about its value.
