Data
Why should I share my data with Unistellar ?
HELP IMPROVE THE OBSERVATION EXPERIENCE AND PARTICIPATE IN SCIENCE
(ACTIVELY OR PASSIVELY)
First of all, sharing your data is not mandatory for your observations - we do not access it if
you do not choose to share it with us.
The data collected by the eVscope 2 at each observation is stored in its memory and includes
raw data (frames) of the objects observed in Enhanced Vision or during Science Missions, as
well as metadata (geolocations, timestamps).
All the data collected by our users is gathered in our secure database and allows us to
continually improve the observing experience of our users.
By sharing your data, you can also help us make scientifi c discoveries.
Find out more about our science programs, both active and passive, on our website.
Things to know about the data storage :
The SD card has a capacity of 64GB. Do not switch to a diff erent SD card.
Uploading your data on a regular basis will free up some storage space. Your eVscope 2 can
upload at a speed of 6Mo/s on a 2.4Ghz network and 8Mo/s on a 5Ghz network. If you need
to upload 12Go, it will take at least 30 minutes.
Images of your observations are saved on your smartphone. You can still save pictures in
the gallery with a full memory (100% data storage used). The eVscope 2 will continue to
operate normally but you won’t be able to take part in community events or citizen science
campaigns.

How to upload ?
When your smartphone is connected to your eVscope 2, open the Unistellar App’s
“User” tab and navigate to “my eVscope”.
Tap on the “Upload data” button (it will be grayed out if there is no data stored).
Enter your ”WiFi information” ( your home WiFi network or your phone hotspot ). Enter the SSID
( the name of your network ) and enter your password. It is case sensitive.
PAY EXTRA ATTENTION WHEN ENTERING THIS ITEM: 8 TIMES OUT OF 10, THE UPLOAD
FAILS BECAUSE OF A TYPO IN ONE OF THESE TWO SETTINGS.
Start your data upload after each night of observation - the eVscope 2 will
shut down once the transfer is completed.
