Unistellar is known for producing quality telescopes and this Odyssey smart telescope is no exception. We awarded it four and a half stars in our Unistellar Odyssey review, praising it as an all-in-one solution for stargazers who want an automatic way of viewing the cosmos.
We also think the Odyssey Pro, which is near-identical to this model, is the best smart telescope for versatility. Provided you've got a smartphone, which is required for use, you can't go wrong with the Odyssey at this knock-down price.

Ever wanted some kind of robot butler to take the effort out of skywatching? You know the sort of thing; you sit in your tent, sipping tea, while Mecha-Jeeves finds something worth observing? This Unistellar Odyssey telescope, $460 off at Unistellar and other outlets, is a stellar deal.
It comes with everything you need to start observing the cosmos, through the Unistellar smartphone app. You will need the app, since only the Pro model has an eyepiece, but with 5,000 or so objects in the app; nebulae, planets, stars and more, you won't be short on things to observe.
In our Unistellar Odyssey review, we were seriously impressed by its ease of use, stating that "...astronomers need to do little else than set it up with a mobile device and operate it seamlessly via the app." It's impressively portable, too.
However, if you like being able to customize your scope directly, and shy away from smartphone apps, you might want to consider the Unistellar eVscope 2, nearly $1000 off at Amazon.
