Featuring a higher resolution and longer runtime than its predecessor model, along with tools for expanding the field of view and effective resolution, the Vespera Pro Smart Telescope from Vaonis is a powerful yet easy-to-use tool for exploring and photographing the night sky. Smart and fully automated, the Vespera Pro is controlled by a mobile app, with imagery viewed on a tablet or phone rather than through an optical eyepiece. It turns automatically to the celestial object you want to see and tracks it to compensate for the earth's rotation while you observe and take photos. No astrophotography expertise is required, but experts will find sophisticated imaging tools for creating beautiful images. It comes with a tripod, and its battery will run for 11 hours on a charge.

Vaonis Vespera Pro Overview
No Expertise Necessary
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.
Tools for Experienced Astrophotographers
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.
Sensor and Lenses
The Vespera Pro features extra-low dispersion S-FPL52 Lanthanum glass lenses in an apochromatic quadruplet configuration with field correction. Images are captured by a Sony 7.0 x 7.0mm, 12.5MP Sony SMX676 Starvis 2 sensor with a 2.0µ pixel size.
CovalENS Mosaic and Panorama Mode
Expand your field of view from the native 1.6 x 1.6° to 3.4 x 2° or 2.56 x 2.56° with CovalENS mosaic and panorama mode. CovalENS can increase image resolution to an effective 50MP. You can alter the framing to capture what you want in your image. CovalENS also includes image enhancement tools such as automatic dithering and stacking.
Memory and Power Supply
The Vespera Pro Power is supplied by a built-in battery that charges via USB-C and has a runtime of 11 hours.
Included Essentials
The Vespera Pro comes with a pre-installed hygrometer sensor that activates an anti-fog system when a certain temperature and humidity threshold is reached. Also in the box: an adjustable tripod with a built-in bubble level and a lens cover.
