Vespera II is the latest evolution of its predecessor and, therefore, your new observation station: the perfect combination of a telescope and a camera. Smart and fully automatic, the wonders of the universe are now within everyone's reach. Explore and observe the night sky, take your own photos of celestial objects, learn about the cosmos, and share your discoveries all in one place.
Have you always wanted to capture the stars? This observation station allows you to photograph the cosmos at the touch of a button. Vespera II integrates technology that allows you to effortlessly observe and photograph deep-sky objects. Now you can immortalize galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, and much more. Vespera II now features a much larger sensor, the Sony IMX585, and offers significantly higher resolution thanks to CovalENS technology. Thus, Vespera II makes even more details visible and even provides space for large nebulae and galaxies, such as the North America Nebula or the Andromeda Galaxy.
The Vespera app "Singularity" also offers educational content for the new model, making observation more interactive and exciting. Now you can discover the many secrets that make the universe so fascinating. Make visible what is invisible to our eyes with Vespera II's Live Stacking technology. Operation is very simple: select the object you want to observe with the app, and Vespera II will align and track it.
Auto-initialization: Vespera II uses your mobile phone's GPS, star pattern recognition (Plate-Solving), and astrometry to calibrate itself automatically. Set up your device and get it ready automatically in less than 5 minutes.
Automatic alignment: The observation station features Go-To technology. Select a target in the app or enter the desired celestial coordinates, and the station will automatically move and align itself.
Automatic tracking: Powered by a motor and controlled by an integrated computer, Vespera II automatically tracks your celestial object and compensates for the Earth's rotation.
Quadruplet Apochromatic Refractor: Vaonis has developed a unique 50mm quadruplet lens consisting of 2 groups of 2 lanthanum glass lenses. The Vespera optics are one of the most precise and powerful optical constructions on the market, with minimal distortion, chromatic aberration, or astigmatism.
High-sensitivity Sony sensor: Vespera II uses one of the latest Sony sensors, designed for extremely low light conditions. Vaonis has also developed its own electronic board to ensure optimal heat management. A hot sensor means many image defects, so the sensor board is designed to dissipate as much heat as possible.
Singularity App: Your guide to the stars. Singularity is your control room, the place where you decide everything. Highly intuitive and easy to use, it allows you to easily access any celestial object in the catalog. You will receive personalized recommendations on what you can observe based on your location and astronomical calendars, as well as clues about the secrets of the cosmos. Singularity accompanies you every step of your journey to the stars.
CovalENS is a feature of Vespera II that allows users to create mosaics of the night sky. With this feature, you can take multiple images of adjacent areas of the sky and then stitch them together to form a larger image. CovalENS uses advanced algorithms to align images and remove distortions. This feature allows you to capture stunning views of the cosmos that would otherwise be impossible.
LumENS, the AI companion!
LumENS is now available for free to all Vespera users, allowing them to interact with their telescope like never before.
This AI answers astronomical questions, explains celestial objects being observed, and offers up-to-date astronomical knowledge in real-time. You can interact with the AI via voice or keyboard. Voice input currently works in English and French, while keyboard chat is available in all pre-configured languages.
This update is a big step towards making astronomy accessible to everyone and for entertaining and informing users with prior knowledge.
