Vaonis NEW Vespera PRO Smart Telescope

The most advanced smart telescope, tailored for easy astrophotography.

Much like the original Vespera, the Vespera Pro Smart Telescope from Vaonis is the perfect combination of telescope and camera. This compact smart telescope uses a larger sensor than its predecessor, as well as comes with a new field corrector, a built-in dew heater, and a longer battery life, ultimately enhancing this telescope's capabilities and offering one of the best resolutions on the market! The Vaonis Vespera Pro is designed with a unique apochromatic quadruplet 50 mm refracting lens, formed by two groups of two lenses made of lanthanum glass. With the new 250mm focal length, f/5 focal ratio, and 1.6-deg x 1.6-deg field of view, you'll have crisp views of your favorite objects delivered directly to your mobile device!

Capture stunning views of the universe straight out of the box.

Exploring and capturing nebulae and galaxies doesn't have to be complicated and tedious. With its integrated 12.5-megapixel camera and innovative technologies, Vespera Pro offers an all-in-one solution to provide you access to astrophotography.

Whether you're new to the hobby or a skilled astrophotographer, Vespera Pro has you covered. Capture stunning images right from the start, progress faster, and showcase your expertise.

No matter where you are, the Vespera Pro smart telescope will transport you through the cosmos. You will be able to take ultra-HD images using the Sony sensor and Quadruplet APO refractor design. Vaonis has equipped this Pro smart telescope with auto-initialization, auto-alignment, auto-tracking, and auto-focusing with its Star Field Recognition technology.

Let the Vespera Pro Smart telescope take you on a journey through the night sky with its ability to take highly detailed images! In addition to the upgrades mentioned above, this Vespera Pro smart telescope comes with a pre-installed hygrometer sensor that activates the anti-fog system once a certain temperature and humidity threshold is reached. You can also modify the color of the Vespera Pro's button to red in order to reduce the impact of light on your surroundings! Also included in the Vespera Pro smart telescope package are a built-in bubble level, a USB-C connector, and a lens cover.

Ultra-high definition images.

With its 12.5 MP sensor and exclusive Live Panorama mode, Vespera Pro allows you to effortlessly capture ultra-high-definition images of the cosmos in full colors. Zoom in for a closer look at galaxies with mesmerizing details or go wide field to embrace the full beauty of expansive nebulae.

A great fit for both beginners and advanced astrophotographers.

- Start easy.

No expertise required! Vespera Pro simplifies astrophotography with automatic pointing, tracking, and focusing, coupled with advanced image enhancement (referred to as stacking). In just a few minutes, you'll have everything set up and ready to go.

- Go expert.

Ready to elevate your astrophotography game? Choose your field of view and framing to capture the perfect shot. Capture calibration frames, customize camera acquisition settings and retrieve 16-bit RAW image files to leverage your skills with your favorite astronomy image processing software.

At the forefront of the astrophotography revolution with live panorama capture.

With automatic live mosaic capture, you are no longer limited by the physical field of view of the telescope. You can capture a greater variety of celestial objects and explore new ways to compose your images. Go beyond the constraints of traditional astrophotography!

CovalENS is the exclusive innovative technology designed by Vaonis and available only on Vaonis smart telescopes, enabling live panorama capture.

With CovalENS, the first "panorama mode" ever embedded into a telescope, you can explore a much larger area of the sky than your instrument's original field of view, creating a panorama of the universe. With Vespera Mosaic mode and CovalENS, you have a wider window into the universe and more opportunities to capture unique images. There are some objects or groups of objects that are larger than other deep sky objects, making it difficult to see their entirety. The maximum field of view at the sensor proportions is 3.2-degrees x 1.8-degrees, and there is an increased resolution in Mosaic Mode.

Premium quality optics.

A larger sensor has higher requirements. This is why we have developed a new field corrector which allows to exploit 100% of the potential of the sensor.

Included with the Vespera Pro Smart Telescope is a new field corrector. With the larger sensor, this smart telescope has greater demands than the original Vespera I smart telescope. With these demands in mind, Vaonis has developed a new field corrector to ensure you are able to fully utilize the sensor's potential.

With a larger sensor than the original Vespera I smart telescope, a new field corrector has been designed to accommodate for this wider field of view. This field corrector provides a beautiful flat field for sharp stars throughout the frame! This addition maximizes the resolving potential of the available 12MP of resolution for crisp and clear details captured within the frame.

Automation at it's finest

The Vespera Pro Smart Telescope boasts five automated features that will make your observation session a breeze!

The first is auto-initialization. The Vespera Pro will use your mobile's GPS, star pattern recognition, and astrometry to calibrate itself. Once your device is set up, the telescope will be ready in less than 5 minutes.
The next is auto-alignment. The Vespera Pro observation station uses GoTo technology, and once you select a target in the app or enter celestial coordinates, the body of the scope will move and point to the object automatically.
The third is auto-tracking. Driven by a motor and controlled by the integrated computer, the Vespera will automatically track your celestial object and compensate for the Earth's rotation.
The final automated feature is auto-focus. The Vespera is one of the only smart telescopes on the market to utilize autofocusing, so you will no longer need to manually intervene to make sure your photos are as sharp as possible.

Unlock the full potential of Singularity.

With the Pro version of Vespera, get access to the Expert Mode within the app. This mode comes with three distinct features: control of Vespera's camera settings, the capture of dark calibration frames, and the automatic subtraction of these dark frames for reduction of thermal noise.

The free Vaonis app, Singularity, acts as the control room for your Vespera Pro Smart Telescope. This is where you decide every action you would like the Vespera to take. You can easily access and learn about any stellar object within the Singularity's catalog of 4,300 objects, including planets like Jupiter and Saturn. Singularity also gives you the ability to thoroughly and easily plan out your evening session based on when your favored objects will be visible. This mobile app is compatible with both iOS and Android devices.
