From the end of January 2020 until mid-March 2022, I owned an Unistellar eVscope telescope for observing and taking photos of deep sky objects. On this page, I collected all the sky objects that I visited with the eVscope (more than 250 different sky objects).

Note: As I sold my eVscope in mid-March 2022, no more new photos will be added. Notes:

NGC 6826 Blinking Planetary Nebula Cygnus PN According to Stoyan brighter than the Ring Nebula M 57, but not so easy to observe. In the eVscope it is just a blue dot...
NGC 6835   Sagittarius G Very small and seen edge-on; some sources call it a barred spiral.
NGC 6882/5   Vulpecula OC Wide-spread star cluster, actually NGC 6885, not NGC 6882...
NGC 6888 Crescent Nebula Cygnus GNE Faint and better suited to larger telescopes
NGC 6934   Delphinus GC According to Stoyan hard to resolve; it is, however, possible with the eVscope.
NGC 6946 Fireworks Galaxy Cepheus G 40' distant from the open star cluster NGC 6939, too far away to see both in the eVscope at once
NGC 6960 Western Veil Nebula Cygnus GN/SR I was able to catch at least a glimpse of NGC 6960 with the eVscope, although all this is far too large for the eVscope's field of view. Together with NGC 6992/5 a supernova remnant.
NGC 6992/5 Eastern Veil Nebula Cygnus GN/SR I was able to catch at least a glimpse of NGC 6992/5 with the eVscope, although all this is far too large for the eVscopes field of view. Together with NGC 6960 a supernova remnant.
NGC 7000 North America Nebula Cygnus GN Too large for the eVscope, nebula not really recognizable...
NGC 7006   Delphinus GC Small, but also far away for a globular star cluster
NGC 7009 Saturn Nebula Aquarius PN Very small, reminds of the planet Saturn with its "ears".
NGC 7023 Iris Nebula Cepheus GN NGC 7023 is the name of an open star cluster containing the Iris Nebula. The Iris Nebula is a reflection nebula illuminated by a central star.
NGC 7243   Lacerta OC Originally confirmed with a Karkoschka photo; better seen in August 2020
NGC 7293 Helix Nebula (Eye of God) Aquarius PN Extremely faint and barely detectable under the existing sky conditions; a little bit better later...
NGC 7317 Stephan's Quintet Pegasus G Part of Stephan's Quintet, a group of small galaxies. In the eVscope it is very small. It is located close to the galaxy NGC 7331.
NGC 7331 With NGC 7335, NGC 7336, NGC 7337, and NGC 7340 Pegasus G Originally faint, but confirmed with a Stoyan drawing; better seen in August and September 2020; the galaxy NGC 7335 and three smaller galaxies are on the better photos.
NGC 7332/39   Pegasus G Double galaxy
NGC 7380 Wizard Nebula / Cluster Cepheus GN/OC A star formation region that contains the young open star cluster NGC 7380.
NGC 7479 Superman Galaxy Pegasus G Can be seen well as a barred spiral
NGC 7600   Aquarius G Elliptical galaxy, close to the ecliptic
NGC 7635 Bubble Nebula Cassiopeia GN Nice, is located close to the well-known open star cluster M 52.
NGC 7640   Andromeda G Faint
NGC 7662 Blue Snowball Nebula Andromeda PN According to Stoyan, one of the most beautiful planetary nebulae in the autumn sky, which appears in the small telescope as an even blue disc. In the eVscope it appears as a prominent but small blue spot.
NGC 7721   Aquarius G Spiral galaxy, close to the ecliptic
NGC 7742   Pegasus G Spiral galaxy, small but has a very active core.
NGC 7789 Caroline's Rose Cluster, White Rose Cluster Cassiopeia OC Large; according to Stoyan one of the richest star clusters for small telescopes.
NGC 7814   Pegasus G Spiral galaxy, seen edge-on
Albireo   Cygnus DS Hard to recognize as a double star in the eVscope
Jupiter     P If I want to see moons, I cannot see the stripes - and vice versa...
Mars     P A small orange-yellow disk
Neptune     P

Small and bluish
Pluto     P Too close to Jupiter, hard to detect
Saturn     P Small, but the ring can be recognized
Uranus     P Small, saw even two moons...
Moon     M The moon does not quite fit the eVscope's FOV

G = galaxy, OC = open star cluster, GC = globular star cluster, GN = galactic nebula, GE = galactic emission nebula, GR = galactic reflection nebula, DN = dark nebula, C = comet, PN = planetary nebula, SP = star pattern, SC = star cloud, SR = supernova remnant, HII = HII region (emission nebula in other galaxies), P = planet, M = moon
