Since the beginning of time, humanity has looked up into the night sky and wondered what was beyond the stars. If you’ve ever been interested in stargazing or are looking to upgrade your current telescope, the Vaonis Vespera Smart Telescope is now on sale through the end of June.
Estimated reading time: 3 minutes
The Vaonis Vespera is fully automated so that when users select an object in the night sky they want to view via the app, the telescope will automatically find it, making it ideal for anyone. It also has a built-in camera to take astrophotographs without needing an external camera. The app is simple to use and you can be stargazing in just five minutes out of the box, without having to know the night sky to discover galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, the Sun, the Moon, comets and more.
Vespera uses one of the latest Sony sensors developed for extreme low light. Its back-illuminated CMOS sensor offers a 1/2.8 format and a 2.9um pixel size. With a homemade developed electronic card, heat management stays optimal so that there are fewer artifacts in the pictures it takes. Vaonis’ engineers have designed a unique quadruplet lens of 50mm, formed by 2 groups of 2 lenses made with lanthanum glass. Vespera optics is one of the most accurate and powerful optical designs on the market with no distortion, no chromatic aberration and no astigmatism.
