eVscope eQuinox (eQ)

Unistellar evScope eQuinox

Overview

Often just called the eQuinox (or, informally, the EV1.1), this is the current high volume product from Unistellar. The successor to the Unistellar evScope 1, the eQuinox is essentially the same telescope, except with the eyepiece removed and with an upgraded memory card (64GB vs the 16GB of the original EV1). The product comes with a tripod, and can be carried in a custom backpack (which must be purchased separately).
