You can get the Unistellar eVscope 2 smart telescope on sale right now at Unistellar for $4249.

Unistellar is well known for producing high-quality smart telescopes that not only find your chosen target, but also image it for you so you can keep your views of the night sky even after you have put it away. We gave it four and a half stars in our Unistellar eVscope 2 review, and it features as our 'best for larger budgets' pick in our best smart telescopes guide.

During our testing, we loved the simple set-up and sleek design, which makes it a great telescope for beginners. It is also great for new astrophotographers due to the enhanced view, which builds a clearer image of the target with repeated exposures. It even saves the image with a data stamp so you can remember this special memory forever!

After installing the app, select your target, and the eVscope 2 does the rest. Sit back and see the distant nebulas and galaxies appear on your phone screen.
