BBC Sky at Night Magazine, a leading global authority on astronomy, conducted a comprehensive review of the听听for its September issue. The review was completed by Jamie Carter, an experienced astronomy hobbyist and author of 鈥溾 (Springer, 2015). Among Carter鈥檚 observations:
- 鈥淟ike the original eVscope from 2020, the eVscope eQuinox is a 4.5-inch, f/4 reflector that comes with a camera sensor that tracks and stacks images in real-time to produce rich-colour views of deep-sky objects. In that respect, it鈥檚听just like the ground-based optical telescopes used by professional astronomers.鈥
- 鈥淲hile the average 4.5-inch reflector will give you disappointing deep-sky views of galaxies, globular clusters and nebulae from urban areas, the听eQuinox鈥檚 image-processing power can counter the effects of light pollution.鈥
- 鈥淭he eQuinox is听extremely simple to set up听and although its Autonomous Field Detection software makes initial alignment easy, it鈥檚 fastest when the scope has first been manually pointed at a star-filled region of sky. The app is听user-friendly and makes it simple to select targets.鈥
- 鈥淭he eQuinox is an听easy-to-use telescope that works very well in brightly lit urban areas, with the bonus of having a scientific aspect. It鈥檚 a new type of telescope inspired by professional, ground-based telescopes 鈥 after all, the science of astronomy is doing just fine without eyepieces.鈥
