What is the Unistellar Nikon Eyepiece?

Unistellar telescopes equipped with the Nikon eyepiece combine the best of traditional stargazing with modern digital enhancements. The Nikon Eyepiece integrates a high-quality optical lens system with a built-in OLED screen, giving you the experience of looking through a classic telescope while taking advantage of digital image amplification.

How does the eyepiece work?

The eyepiece projects the image collected by the telescope’s sensor onto a high-resolution OLED display, which is then viewed through an optical lens system. This hybrid design provides a natural, comfortable observing experience similar to traditional telescopes, while delivering the benefits of Unistellar’s enhanced vision technology.

What are the advantages of the Nikon Eyepiece?

• Comfortable viewing: The optical design is aligned with the human eye’s natural focus, reducing eye strain during longer observation sessions.
• High contrast and brightness: Thanks to the OLED screen and precision optics, you get vivid colors and excellent contrast even under light-polluted skies.
• Authentic telescope feeling: You can enjoy the classic experience of looking through an eyepiece instead of only using a screen.
• Wide field of view: The optical path is designed to give a natural, immersive view of the sky.

Can I remove or replace the eyepiece?

No, the eyepiece is built into the telescope’s optical block and is not removable or interchangeable. Attempting to disassemble or modify it could damage the telescope and void your warranty.

Is the eyepiece required to use the telescope?

While the eyepiece provides an authentic viewing experience, you can also see live images on your smartphone or tablet via the Unistellar app. The eyepiece is optional for viewing, but always available if you want to observe directly.

Any maintenance tips?

• Keep the eyepiece lens clean and free of dust.
• Use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe the external lens if needed.
• Do not open or disassemble the eyepiece, as it is precisely factory-aligned.

If the eyepiece display appears blank or unresponsive, simply restart the telescope to restore normal function.
