Unistellar Odyssey vs Odyssey Pro: 10 Second Summary
- Unistellar Odyssey and Unistellar Odyssey Pro are both premium smart telescopes newly released in 2024
- The key difference is that Odyssey Pro has an eyepiece that you can look through the telescope when in use, rather than just having to view the images on your smartphone or other screen. This is a good feature, especially if using with other people so you can take it in turns to look through just like with a regular telescope.
- On all other metrics these two telescopes are virtually identical.
- The other big difference is the price – having the eyepiece on the Odyssey Pro pushes this up quite substantially.
- Therefore, if choosing between these two, it’s a question of budget and how much you would value the eyepiece.
