Vaonis Vespera Observation Station
The Vaonis Vespera is the world’s lightest observation station weighing in at only 5kgs. The Vespera combines a telescope, camera and mobile app so that you can observe and capture the heavens regardless of your skill level.
Explore the Universe. Wherever You Are
The Vaonis Vespera Observation Station weighs just 5kgs and measures only 40 x 20 x 9 cm. This makes it compact and lightweight enough to take with you out into the wilderness as well as the comfort of your back garden.
Capture The Cosmos
The Vespera comes equipped with a Full HD Sony IMX462 sensor that has been developed for extremely low-light situations. This back-illuminated CMOS sensor offers a 1/2.8 format and a 2.9um pixel size, making it perfect for you to observe and shoot deep-sky objects effortlessly.
Easy To Use
The Vespera is extremely easy to set up and even easier to use. Simply place it where you want to by using the adjustable tripod legs and press the button. The Vespera will then calibrate itself via the Star Field Recognition technology.
- Auto-initialization - The Vespera uses the GPS on your smartphone for star pattern recognition and astrometry so that it can calibrate itself. It can do all of this automatically and have you set up within 5 minutes.
- Pointing & Tracking - The Vespera can track stellar objects automatically thanks to the integrated Go-to technology.
- Autofocus - An auto-focus feature has been integrated so that you don’t have to worry about focusing manually.
Quadruplet Apochromatic Refractor
The station features a unique quadruplet lens of 50mm, which consists of 2 groups of 2 lenses made with lanthanum glass. These optics are extremely accurate and powerful and deliver images with no distortion, no chromatic aberration and no astigmatism.
Full Control From Your Phone
You can control the Vespera via the Singularity app which is available on both IOS and Android. Once logged in you can easily access any stellar object in the catalogue. You will get personalised recommendations of objects to observe based on your geolocation and the astronomical calendar.
The Space Centre
You can start your exploration of the stars via the Space Centre. This part of the app allows you to find specific information depending on your location. You can also get direct access to Vaonis’ enriched content, allowing you to choose between two modes of observation, and much more in the future.
Image Stacking In Real Time
The Vespera has the ability to stack images in real-time so that you can gradually reveal the details and colours of the object you have selected. You can set the duration for a few minutes or for several hours depending on the level of detail you want to achieve in your final image.
