About this image

The eVscope is an observational telescope, that has the ability to save to a connected smart device (smart phone or tablet), what is seen in the “eyepiece”, it uses an extremely sensitive IMX224 sensor at the focus point of a 450mm focal length f/4 Newtonian telescope, which is mounted on a self-aligning computerised alt-az mount. As it tracks its target, an onboard computer automatically applies intelligent image processing, delivering a near-real-time, full-colour image displayed on a miniature, extremely high contrast colour OLED (organic LED) screen that you view through an "eyepiece" on the side of the eVscope.

This image is after 11 minutes of "viewing" M42
