Το πρωτότυπο αυτες τις μερες χρησιμοποιείται για επιδειξη στην CES2017 στην Αμερικη και ακολουθουν οι ευρωπαικες χωρες. Μεσα στο 2017 αναμένεται η διαθεση του στο κοινό σε ολοκληρωμένο τηλεσκόπιο αλλα κυριως σε προσοφθαλμιο που προσαρμοζεται σε όλα τα τηλεσκόπια. Unistellar is the brainchild of Dr Arnaud Malvache, a scientist working in signal processing of biological images for the French national research body CNRS and currently stationed at Aix-Marseille University. Malvache is a keen amateur astronomer who began inventing a new type of telescope in his spare time using patent-pending light amplification technology in early 2015 to help people explore the skies in greater detail, due to feeling frustrated by the limitations of consumer products today. "In a standard telescope, you can't see much. There are only four planets that you can really observe – the rest are too far or too small. When you want to see other objects, you are disappointed because they are hard to find and you just see grey clouds due to low luminosity," Malvache, Unistellar's chief executive, told IBTimes UK at the Slush 2016 tech conference in Helsinki, Finland. "So we have designed the amplified vision telescope that integrates light, uses algorithms to process images and then projects the results directly into the eye piece of the telescope." How the telescope works The amplified vision telescope works using a special low-light sensor that works together with an on-board computer contained in the eyepiece. The startup has developed computer algorithms that treat the image seen by the telescope and perform field recognition in order to make the image much clearer, almost as if it comes from a Nasa space telescope. And to make the experience richer, the onboard computer is also able to cross-reference the image seen through the telescope against a widely-used scientifically-verified database of astronomical objects in order to tell you which nebula or galaxy you happen to be looking at. Unistellar is currently developing an eye piece that can be adapted by existing telescopes, as well as a full compact, lightweight, automated telescope that follows sky rotation and points automatically at objects. The startup plans to debut the products at CES 2017 in January and hopefully ship it later in the year. The telescope is developed with consumers and astronomy enthusiasts in mind. As such it will be priced competitively against other existing consumer telescopes, and the creators will offer API support to enable different applications in the future.
