UNISTELLAR EVSCOPE 2: ТЕХНІЧНІ ХАРАКТЕРИСТИКИ, СПІЛЬНОТА КОРИСТУВАЧІВ ТА ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ ЗАСТОСУВАННЯ
The Unistellar eVscope2 represents a new generation of compact astronomical instruments that combine portability, automation, and digital networking to empower both professional and citizen astronomers. This study evaluates the telescope’s technical performance, educational potential, and scientific applications, particularly in exoplanet transit photometry. Based on the comparison of our observational data obtained within the Unistellar global network and professional OGLE data, we showed the great possibility of this approach. Our results demonstrate that high-quality light curves can be produced even under sub-optimal conditions, and compact digital telescopes can play an essential role in expanding observational coverage and in training the next generation of astronomers. The Unistellar network model, combining technological innovation, social participation, and data integrity, stands as a powerful example of how future astronomy will operate at the intersection of professional and citizen science.
