This Vespera II Observation Station with Tripod & Backpack Kit from B&H offers stable support and easy portability for the fully automated digital telescope and camera. The Vespera II lets even novice astronomers see and capture the wonders of the night sky, including planets, galaxies, and nebulae. The tabletop-sized tripod holds the device steady while it tracks your subject, and the backpack makes it easy to travel to locations with the best conditions for viewing.
Boasting a higher resolution and larger field of view than its predecessor model, the Vespera II Observation Station from Vaonis is a lightweight celestial observation and photography device small enough to fit in a backpack. Smart and fully automated, Vespera II 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.
Rechargeable and weighing just 11 lb, Vespera II makes it easy to explore and observe the night sky anywhere in the world, take your own photos of celestial objects, learn about the cosmos, and share your discoveries in one place. It features autofocus and supports the stacking of live images for enhanced detail and color. Vespera II uses your mobile's GPS, star pattern recognition, and astrometry to calibrate itself. Simply press the button, and you're ready for astronomical observation in about five minutes.
Support your Vaonis Vespera observation station with this Standard Tripod. The adjustable legs can be unscrewed for easy storage. Made of black anodized aluminum, the tripod attaches to the Vespera with a 3/8"-16 mounting screw.
Use this specially designed Backpack to safely take your Vaonis Vespera exploration station wherever you go. Weighing only 2.2 lb, the backpack is small enough to fit easily in a car or on public transport. It can also be transformed into a hiking or leisure bag by simply removing the removable interior compartment. The backpack is made of polyester fabric resistant to rain, dust, and wear. The Vespera's shell is protected from impacts and scratches thanks to the foam padding over the entire surface of the bag and a fully padded interior. The compartments and numerous pockets prevent the accessories from rubbing against the observation station. It offers a host of storage spaces for your observation station and its accessories: tripod, charger, filters, tablet, cell phone, or backup battery.
