BE CAREFUL WHEN ENTERING THIS INFORMATION. 8 TIMES OUT OF 10, A FAILED
DOWNLOAD IS CAUSED BY A TYPO IN EITHER OF THESE FIELDS.
Data storage information:
The SD card has a capacity of 64 GB. Do not change the SD card.
You can free up storage space by downloading your data on a regular basis. Your telescope
can download at a rate of 6 Mbps on a 2.4 GHz network and 8 Mbps on a 5 GHz network. It
will take at least 30 minutes to download 12 GB.
Your observation images are saved to your smartphone. You can always save images to
the gallery if your memory is full (100% data storage used). The telescope will continue to
work normally, but you will not be able to participate in community events or citizen science
campaigns.
How do I upload my data?
With your smartphone connected to your telescope, open the “User” tab in
the Unistellar app and go to “My eVscope”.
Tap the “Upload data” button. (The button will be grayed if there is no stored data.)
Enter your “Wi-Fi information” (your home WiFi network or your phone’s hotspot). Enter the
SSID (your network’s name) and your password.
The password is case-sensitive and may
include special characters.
Start downloading your data after each night of observation. The telescope
will turn off once the transfer is finished.
- Click “OK”. The telescope’s LED will go from red to bright flashing yellow, indicating that the
telescope is trying to connect to the selected network.
Your device will no longer be connected to the telescope, and information like the name or
storage use will no longer be accessible in the app. The LED will flash steadily.
Once connected to the selected network, the light becomes:
-
Green and flashing rapidly between 1 and 6 times, then steady green for one minute
if
the download was successful.
-
Steady orange for one minute,
which means that an error occurred. If this happens, see
Section 9 – Troubleshooting in this user guide.
Once the transfer has finished, connect your phone to the telescope again and go back to
the “My eVscope” tab in the app. You should see “Storage: 1% used”. The remaining 1% is
used for dark frames and for internal files needed for the telescope to operate.
