Have to read about that! Since my telescope is mainly for deep-space objects, it might not be best for a large close object like that. I'll certainly be able to see it, maybe not all of it at once...

FYI, this is one of the sites that compares Vaonis and Unistellar. I own an eQuinox2.

The best smart telescopes will let you find the Lagoon Nebula and the Hercules Cluster with the touch of a button.

Some other sites present other less expensive alternatives; I am not sure I bookmarked them all since the field is always changing. I bought mine before the Celestron Origin came out.

Space.com also has an article on that new interstellar object: https://www.space.com/astronomy/com...rything-we-know-about-the-rare-cosmic-visitor

Since it was just found, it is not in the Unistellar database yet, but probably will be by October (there was another asteroid found back in March and Unistellar added it to the catalog right away). Even if not, you can just enter the coordinates and hop to it.

It will not be that large.
