Unistellar Vivid Vision is an innovative technology enhancement to the company’s line-up of smart telescopes. Building on Unistellar’s smart telescope ecosystem, Vivid Vision focuses on enhancing visual clarity and delivering vibrant, true-to-life colors of celestial objects. By combining advanced image processing algorithms with real-time enhancements, Vivid Vision allows users to observe nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters with high image quality while requiring no prior astrophotography expertise.
Unistellar Vivid Vision brings out the authentic colors of celestial objects, such as the rich red of hydrogen emission nebulae, the subtle blues of reflection nebulae, and the detailed structures of galaxies. Using scientifically accurate data, including references from star catalogs like Gaia DR3, the technology ensures that the colors observed are faithful representations of the cosmic phenomena.
Unistellar Vivid Vision works in real time, automatically processing the incoming light data to reduce noise and sharpen details. Vivid Vision processes faint signals captured by the telescope’s sensor, revealing details that are typically invisible to the naked eye.
Vivid Vision is fully integrated into the company’s smart telescopes. Once the telescope aligns with a target object using Enhanced Vision mode, Vivid Vision activates automatically, requiring no complex setup or manual adjustments from the user. Observers can toggle Vivid Vision on or off through the intuitive Unistellar app.
By leveraging community data from Unistellar’s global network of users, the Vivid Vision algorithms continuously improve over time. Observations of objects like the Orion Nebula or Andromeda Galaxy display greater detail, improved contrast, and realistic color tones, offering an immersive stargazing experience previously only achievable through long-exposure astrophotography.
Vivid Vision combines Unistellar’s advanced onboard sensors with powerful image processing. When the telescope focuses on a target, it begins collecting information on the object. This data is processed using Unistellar’s proprietary algorithms to amplify color signals and sharpen fine details. Observers see a progressive improvement in image quality as Vivid Vision integrates and enhances the collected light.
The process typically begins within 2–3 minutes of observation and continues to refine the view as the telescope gathers more light. The resulting image reveals the intricate structures and natural hues of nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters with high clarity.
Unistellar Vivid Vision is available on newer models of their smart telescope line, including: eVscope 2, eQuinox 2, Odyssey and Odyssey Pro. Older models like the first-generation eVscope and eQuinox do not support Vivid Vision due to hardware limitations. You can learn more here.
