Featuring a robust resolution and field of view and outfitted with a full-size, lightweight tripod, the Vespera II Observation Station with Carbon Fiber Tripod from Vaonis is a celestial observation and photography device small enough to fit in a backpack. Smart and fully automated, the Vespera II is controlled using a mobile app, so you can view imagery on your 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.
