Smart Telescope

Smart telescopes (Seestar, Vespera, Dwarf, eVscope, Origin, …) are tightly integrated catalogs and frame sizes. Pick yours below to unlock difficulty badges across catalog pages and a field-of-view viewfinder on the star map.

Difficulty badges

Object detail pages and the Tonight list show whether each target is easy, medium, a stretch, or out of reach for your scope, given a typical Bortle 4 sky.

Star map viewfinder

The star map draws an amber rectangle showing exactly what your scope's sensor will frame at the current view center, including a per-scope label.

Linked to your equipment

When you pick a model, it is also added to your classic equipment list with the right aperture and focal length, ready to use in observation logs.

Selection is saved to your profile and a cookie, so it persists across sessions.
