What a night with it looks like
Everything about the night is the Odyssey's: autofocus, no collimation, a 5,000-object catalog, live amplification, up to 10 phones on the same view, citizen science. The difference is at the back of the tube. Unistellar describes its Nikon eyepiece as a lens assembly with OLED micro-display technology for ultra-high contrast, and says its Odyssey Pro and eVscope 2 are the only smart telescopes with an eyepiece.
For a parent showing Saturn to a child, that eyepiece changes the feeling of the evening: you are looking through a telescope, not at a screen. It is an emotional feature, and we will not pretend our formula can score it.
The catch
Our score does not reward the eyepiece, and the price is 77% higher than the Odyssey at list. That is why the Pro ends last in our overall ranking at 8.2/10 even though its optics are the same as an 8.4/10 telescope.
The rest are the Odyssey's limits: no light pollution filter, a field under one degree, 5 hours of battery, sensor resolution not published.

Unistellar Odyssey Pro gets 8.2/10 (good) with our overall weights. Each criterion below is scored out of 10 from Unistellar's published figures; a criterion without a figure is left out and the other weights are rescaled. The scales are on the methodology page.

Questions about the Unistellar Odyssey Pro
Is the Odyssey Pro eyepiece a real optical eyepiece?
It is an electronic one. Unistellar describes Nikon Eyepiece Technology as a lens assembly with an OLED micro-display: you look at the processed image through an eyepiece rather than at a phone.
Odyssey Pro or eVscope 2?
Both have the Nikon eyepiece. The eVscope 2 has a larger 114 mm mirror and 9 hours of battery, but needs manual focus and collimation and weighs 7 kg; the Odyssey Pro has autofocus, no collimation, 4 kg and 85 mm.
