I actually really enjoyed making this one!  I've been into astronomy for decades, but even for me, there have been few chances for me to do a side by side comparison of a several telescopes.

Happy New Year and many thanks for all the support! :-D

$3000 of eVscope tears vs REALITY!

100x more powerful than a 'classical' telescope LMAO!

I saw the previous little preview about this POS Postage Stamp Sized LCD inside of a TELESCOPE 🔭!!! I’m pretty damn sure that we’ve already perfected the Optics & Lenses of Telescopes over the past few thousands of years, otherwise we wouldn’t have had astronomers before now!!! Not until we had tiny little displays, a good digital camera, some microscope 🔬 optics and then crammed all of those separate technologies into the body of a Telescope 🔭!!! So eVscam is 🖥➕📸➕🔬➕🔭= eVScope 🔮🔭💸💸💸💸

I wish you a Happy New Year too Phil :) By the way i have a dedicated shop nearby that has all sorts of telescopes and optics. I'ĺl visit it in a few weeks any maybe get a beginner type telescope because i dont have one yet and would like to start a bit in the direction of astronomy

What is it doing for $3k? Just a really long exposure and then auto-applying a bunch of image manipulation to try to improve the quality? Photoshop isn't that expensive (compared to paying $2k extra for a telescope). GIMP is free and can do the same work (yeah, it's not quite as great at the more advanced image production work but it'll work just fine for adjusting brightness, contrast, levels, removing noise from the sensor, and other basic stuff). There are lots of youtube videos out there to teach you how to do basic stuff like this. Granted it's not "one button", but if you're going to let this gadget take bad photos over 3+ minutes and gussy them up with instagram-style filters... I mean, you can probably do it faster and better by hand with practice, and unless you're worth a *lot* of money you can probably learn how in less time than it would take you to earn that extra $2k. I dunno, I don't get it. It basically does what it says it does so I don't know if I'd call it a scam. Just a ripoff.

You should have a look at eVscope's kickstarter page. Since TF put his first video up on the topic, the crowd's been going wild. A lot of them will defend their purchase with the words "most backers paid 1500$ for the scope, so I don't know why the guy [TF] is talking about 3000$". I particularly enjoyed the one guy saying something along the lines of: "Thank you, all your comments make me more confident in my purchase, and you're right, that guy [again TF] is just a hater." Yeah, people are strange, and an absurd number will jump on any kickstarter without doing prior research. Judging by the comments, most backers wanted to see if astrology was a hobby they could get into, so instead of trying to find out as much as possible about it, they backed the eVscope and then sat on their asses for two years.
