Can I Use a Unistellar Telescope During the Day?

Our smart telescopes can be used for terrestrial viewing, such as observing mountains or other nearby landmarks. However, please keep in mind:

• The images captured in daylight may display colors that differ from what you see with the naked eye.

• These products are primarily designed for nighttime observation of celestial objects and the Sun.

Traditional binoculars will generally offer more natural and visually accurate results for daytime use, especially in landscapes or nature.

Here is an example of what you can get with a Unistellar telescope:

Important: Never point the telescope at the Sun without a solar filter. Doing so can permanently damage the telescope and pose serious safety risks, i.e., there is a risk of burning your sensor, and if that happens, the warranty will not cover it.

While the Sun can be observed safely with the proper filter, other celestial objects, such as stars or most planets (including the new moon), cannot be observed during daylight. 

Important note: Please note that Citizen Science missions cannot be performed during the day, as they rely on observing stars and faint objects that require a dark sky. Similarly, planets, stars, and the International Space Station (ISS) cannot be observed during daytime, since the telescope’s orientation system needs visible stars to function correctly.
