One of the latest technological innovations to hit the astronomy field is smart telescopes. Combining the best of astronomical observation and astrophotography into one device, smart telescopes make it possible to see and capture space with a single automated instrument.
These devices are ideal for beginners, as they automatically lock onto your chosen target once you select it in the linking app. They then focus and take multiple shots of the subject, layering them on top of each other to create the effect of a single long exposure without any additional work on your part.
While some people prefer to observe through traditional optical telescopes, smart telescopes have a significant advantage in urban viewing environments because they can overcome a lot of light pollution. They also make it easy to share your astronomical experiences with family and friends.
Our experts have analyzed the best models in this fast-growing field, assessing their strengths and weaknesses, and testing them in real-world conditions. Read on to find out what they think.
