1/7/2024 0 Comments Equinox price![]() In our tests the eVscope eQuinox ran for a marathon six-hour observing session no problem, though we did have a portable battery (of the kind you might use for your smartphone) nearby just in case. It’s not obvious how long you must point the eVscope eQuinox at any given object to get the best image sometimes you may already have the best possible image after 10 seconds while other times you can wait 10 minutes before the image really starts to become impressive. Although the app teaches you exactly what most of those objects are, there are significant gaps. You tell it where you’re observing it from – an urban or rural location – and it will customise its suggested targets of what it thinks you’ll get good views of. ![]() The Unistellar app has a catalogue of 5,400 objects, which it aligns to using your phone’s GPS in conjunction with its built-in compass and accelerometer. One of the joys of using a telescope outdoors is to share the night sky with others, so the eVscope eQuinox allows up to 10 observers to download the Unistellar app on smartphones or tablets and get the image fullscreen. UNISTELLAR EVSCOPE EQUINOX REVIEW: FEATURES AND USABILITY All you have to do is place this plastic disk on the end of the telescope, slew it to a bright star, then twiddle the focusing knob until you get three spikes of light to intersect. Its lack of eyepiece makes it slightly more difficult to focus, but we had no problems using an included Bahtinov mask. The only time it’s likely to fail is if you accidentally point it at clouds, try it too early in the evening before it’s properly dark, or point it close to a near-full Moon. The first task is to unfurl its solid two-stage tripod, make sure it’s level using its built-in spitting level, then carefully place the tube onto it, tightening two screws to lock it in place.Īs for aligning it with the stars, Unistellar’s Autonomous Field Detection technology takes care of that by imaging whatever stars it’s pointed at and cross-referencing them with its built-in planetarium software. The eVscope eQuinox is very easy to set-up and the build quality is excellent – as you would expect at this high price. UNISTELLAR EVSCOPE EQUINOX: DESIGN AND SETUP The standard package does not include a backpack, but there is one available from Unistellar for €359 / £329 / US$429. Originally, Unistellar was charging for shipping ($/£/€59), which feels stingy on such a pricey product, but last time we checked, there was free delivery in all the main territories. The eVscope eQuinox hails from Marseille, France and costs EUR €2,799 / GBP £2,599 / USD $2,699 (originally $2,999).

UNISTELLAR EVSCOPE EQUINOX REVIEW: SPECS However, during our review a firmware update upped that to an impressive 4.8 megapixels thanks to some advances in its image-stacking algorithms. Why is not immediately clear since the resolution of the images it produces hasn’t changed, remaining at 1.27 megapixels. It looks like with the EquinoX EV and Blazer EV being powered by the Ulitum platform, GM is going to start moving away from the Bolt EV/EUV, which are powered by an older platform, and those two EVs are going to take over.Perhaps more crucially it’s got a lot more storage space than the original eVscope, with a healthy 64GB versus 12GB. If the EV tax credit reform ends up passing, it would make the vehicle cheaper than its gasoline-powered version before gas savings. Electrek’s TakeĪt $30,000, if the specs are over 200 miles of range and 150 kW charging, GM might have a very successful EV on its hands, but we don’t know the specs at this point. ![]() The automaker also confirmed the Blazer EV coming in the Spring of 2023. GM is calling this a “preview”, but with the vehicle coming in less than two years, and is likely going to be close to the production version. The new electric SUV is going to come as 2024 model year at the end of 2023. Providing an affordable EV option in the industry’s highest volume segment proves Chevy is going to make EVs available to everyone. The Equinox has always played an important role for Chevrolet as the second-highest selling brand nameplate. Steve Hill, Chevrolet vice president, commented on the Equinox EV, unveiling:
