The planet mode sets
the gain at 0 to avoid
saturation. You can
adjust images with
our suggested values:
Planet Satellites
Gain (dB) Exposure (ms) Gain (dB) Exposure (ms)
Moon 0 5-20
Venus 0 0.3 -10
Mars 5 5 - 30
Saturn 5 10 - 30 25 100
Jupiter 5 5 - 20 25 100
GPS and Localization
You can use the eVscope 2 on a balcony or in a garden, in the city or in the country. We
recommend at least 45 degrees of open sky.
Diff erent factors come into play based on your location which can aff ect the quality of
observations, for example: quality of the night sky, position in the Bortle scale , light
pollution, atmospheric interference, altitude, and position compared to the equator.
Light Pollution
Your eVscope 2 can be used in highly light-polluted areas, and yet you will still be
amazed by the quality of your observations and what is visible in the night sky.
Weather and Temperatures
You will not be able to observe if you are under a cloudy sky. The eVscope 2 is highly
sensitive to wind as it creates vibration and can make the Enhanced Vision drop.
We recommend the following temperature range
for your eVscope 2 :
• Storage : 10°C (50°F) to 40°C (104°F)
• Observation and recharge : 10� °C (50 °�F) to 40 °�C (104 °�F)
• Observation : 0 °�C (14� °F) to 40� °C (104 °�F)
To reduce the impact of light pollution, stay away from
street lights (go behind a building or trees), building
and security lights, or other direct light sources that
may be shining toward you. This will enable you to
enjoy objects like the Dumbbell Nebula, Ring Nebula
or Whirlpool Galaxy.
Defi ne your portion of open
sky in the App to have
the catalog suggest only
objects in your visibility area.
Cover your eVscope 2
when using it in a very
cold environment,
to provide relative
insulation.

to observe a target which is not

The eVscope 2 uses a proprietary
combination of product design,
hardware and software to fi lter
through light pollution.
