there is a filter attachment you can screw into the image chip mount behind the spider (franc marchis of unistellar demonstrated this a few months back)
I have been interested in the Unistellar eVscope for some time - thank you, Mike, for a highly informative presentation of its capabilities and limits. I also believe, as you do, that this is only the beginning of something very exciting. Alan Thomas (BAA member, Warrington)
Very enjoyable discussion about the evscope and what it can do for amateur astronomy, greatly simplifying the Astro Photography setup most amateurs experience. Its portability is also a huge plus and ive been watching the science collaborative projects undertaken. While not personally owning one i have been really enjoying the images posted on the Unstellar Facebook Groups.
With my eVscope I've seen down to magnitude 18.05 in very dry Bortle 2.5 skies. This was verified by Dana Patchick, a world class observer who has discovered many supernovas among other things. This is a great scope. I have actually seen unidentified galaxies again verified by Dana. The battery has never been a problem after almost 2 years of use. Am looking forward to the eVscope 2 & Vespera later this year.
Excellent live stream, thanks for posting. The citizen science aspect with photometry and asteroid hunting is really quite exciting because it means the average Joe can get involved in real science. Probably easier than analysing the Exoplanet Transit Database each night and hoping you've got the right star lol
It's been busted, you can get a better rig for 1000 instead of the 3000. You can't get exoplanets because they are too far away. If hubble can't do it well, what makes you think that a tiny scope could?
Seems a lot of money for a fairly small reflector and as,I assume,you can't insert a normal eye piece it'd take away part of the fun of actually looking at the objects.But each to their own.As for spotting exoplanets with a 4 and a 1/2 inch telescope I don't think that even the Hubble can actually do that!
