The files stored in your telescope's memory can be uploaded to our servers via the UNISTELLAR app.
This feature allows our users to contribute to real scientific projects in collaboration with our network of partners.
💡 It is possible to download your data directly with the Direct Data Download Feature: How to Directly Download the Raw Data From Your Telescope to Your Computer?
Uploading your observations to our servers plays a key role in the success of collective scientific campaigns. By sharing your data, you contribute to projects that may lead to scientific publications and real astronomical discoveries.
For example, 31 UNISTELLAR users were recently listed as co-authors in the prestigious scientific journal Nature following a collective observation campaign. This is a powerful example of the real-world impact your contribution can have as a user.
UNISTELLAR works with a network of professional astronomers and scientific institutions who use uploaded data to analyze rare celestial events, such as occultations, outbursts, or asteroid tracking. By choosing to share your observations, you become an active part of these missions.
The data and metadata collected by UNISTELLAR include your observations, their geolocation, and timestamp. They are processed securely and anonymously. If a discovery is made using your data, you may choose to be credited.
By uploading your observation data, you join a community of passionate astronomers working together to advance our understanding of the universe. Together, we can uncover hidden phenomena and push the boundaries of sky exploration.
