With a 3.3-inch (85 mm) aperture and 4.1MP image sensor, this smart telescope is a dream for capturing galaxies and nebulas. By using the "enhanced vision" mode, your telescope builds up a stronger image of the deep sky target by stacking 4-second exposures to develop more detail.

Boasting superb image quality (though it's less ideal for planets), it's powerful but also portable enough that you can transport and pack it away with ease. It's the lightest smart telescope that Unistellar offers so it is good for taking to dark sky sites but we also used it to beat light pollution when using it from a city centre balcony.

In our Unistellar Odyssey Pro, we praised its ease of use. As powerful as it is, beginners can take quality images with just a couple of button presses and the smartphone app offers all the control you could want with a database of over 5,000 night sky objects.

Key features: 3.3-inch (85 mm) aperture, 4.1 MP image sensor, 320 mm focal length, motorized alt-azimuth mount, 5 hr battery life, 8.8 lbs (4 kg) weight.

Product launched: January 2024

Price history: This is the cheapest the Unistellar Odyssey Pro has been all year. We've seen it drop further early last year but this is still a major reduction from its $4,599 retail price.

Price comparison: Unistellar: $3909 | B&H Photo: $3909 | Amazon: $3909

Reviews consensus: We think this is one of the best smart telescopes. It's easy to use and offers amazing quality images, even reducing light pollution to an impressive degree.

Featured in guides: Best smart telescopes

✅ Buy it if: You want a powerful but portable smart telescope that takes the work out of stargazing and handles light pollution admirably.

❌ Don't buy it if: You're averse to automation, either on principle or because you like getting to grips with the night sky yourself.
