  • David Hoskin - All-in-One Smart Telescopes

    The first smart telescopes from Unistellar and Vaonis, which were introduced several years ago, showed promise but were too expensive for the average amateur astronomer. The smart telescope market has recently exploded with updated models from Unistellar and Vaonis being joined by affordable smart telescopes from Dwarf Labs and ZWO. In addition, Celestron is introducing a high-end smart telescope to compete with offerings from Unistellar and Vaonis. David will present an overview of several all-in-one smart telescopes that are currently available.
