The Vaonis Vespera II Essential redefines modern astronomy, combining a complete astrophotography lab in a compact, elegant, self-contained device. Whether you're a beginner eager to discover the secrets of the night sky or an experienced astronomer seeking an ultra-portable astrophotography system, the Vespera II delivers stunning results without complicated alignment procedures.
Explore the universe with the Vaonis Vespera II Essential, a next-generation smart robotic telescope designed for today’s stargazers! Combining the optical precision of a refracting telescope with a high-resolution 8.3-megapixel (Sony IMX585 CMOS) sensor, it delivers a seamless astrophotography and observing experience. It features a 50 mm aperture, a 200 mm focal length (f/4), and unique CovalENS technology, which expands the field of view to 3.2° × 1.8° for stunning wide-field images. With a fully motorized altazimuth mount, control via the Singularity app, support for JPEG, TIFF, and FITS (RAW) files, and a weight of just 5 kg, it is the ideal portable solution for observing deep-sky objects, comets, the Moon, and the Sun.
The New Era in Astrophotography – Simplicity, Portability & High Resolution!
Top Features & Applications
Advanced Sony IMX585 Sensor & CovalENS: The 8.3 MP CMOS sensor captures vivid colors and details in nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters. With CovalENS mode (capture mosaics), you can photograph celestial objects that extend beyond the telescope’s standard field of view.
Flexible File Formats & Processing: Provides ready-to-share, processed JPEG images for social media, as well as unprocessed FITS files for advanced processing (astrophotography stacking/post-processing).
Ideal Observation Targets: Thanks to its short focal length (200 mm) and fast focal ratio (f/4), it is perfectly optimized for deep-sky objects, comets, the Moon, and the Sun (with a suitable solar filter). Note: Due to its wide field of view, it is not intended for high-magnification planetary imaging.
