This Vespera Pro Smart Telescope with Nebula & Light Pollution Filters Kit from B&H combines the capabilities of a fully automated digital telescope with two specialties: one tool for enhanced observation and photography of nebulae and one for cutting through the light pollution of cities and suburbs. The nebula filter highlights the hydrogen alpha and oxygen III wavelengths common in cosmic dust clouds, while the dual band filter blocks wavelengths from artificial light.
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.
This Dual Band Filter will improve the quality of photos of nebulae taken with your Vaonis Vespera Exploration Station digital telescope. The filter selects hydrogen alpha (H-alpha) and oxygen III (O-III) wavelengths, which are prominent in nebulae, in order to boost contrast between the nebula and the sky behind it. The result is a high-quality image with sharper stars and finer details, even when taken in urban environments. The filter is easily installed on the Vespera's optical arm. While it's ideal for nebulae, the filter is incompatible for viewing galaxies, stars, planets, and the moon—simply replace the standard filter for viewing these objects.
This Light Pollution Filter for the Vaonis Vespera Exploration Station digital telescope allows night-sky photography even in cities and suburbs. It blocks wavelengths from human-generated light sources, while allowing the wavelengths from stars, nebulae, and other celestial objects.
