The Vespera II Smart Telescope: Enhance Your Astronomy Adventures!

Vaonis is upgrading the popular Vespera Smart Telescope and introducing the Vespera II! This second version of the Vespera telescope elevates the performance of the original, and remains the perfect combination between an astrophotography camera and telescope! This smart OTA is fully automated and super portable, giving you the opportunity to explore and view the night sky no matter where you are. Not only can you enjoy your celestial adventures, but you can share it with others!

The Vespera II gives you the ability to view the night sky, whether you are away from home or in your living room. Even more exciting, the Vespera II performs no matter the viewing conditions. Utilizing a 50mm, 250mm focal length, and a Sony IMX585 sensor with CovalENS capabilities, the Vespera II delivers top-notch performance. Easy-to-use, all you need to connect to the stars is press the power button, and you are ready to explore and share the universe with the compatible Singularity app. The 50mm Vespera II gives you the ability to capture crisp details which are delivered directly to your smartphone or tablet, making it an incredibly easy and collaborative astronomy experience!

Take Your Vespera Experience to the Next Level!

The second generation Vespera II has a lot to live up to, and it succeeds! Not only does this Vespera II telescope use a higher resolution sensor, but it provides an bigger field of view! These upgrades along with the original features that made the Vespera smart telescope so popular promise a great observation experience! Learn more about the Vespera II features below!

Upgraded Imaging Sensor

With the Vespera II Smart telescope, it has never been so easy to capture crisp images of the night sky. This simple OTA unlocks complex images by utilizing the Sony IMX585 imaging sensor. When compared to the original Vespera's Sony IMX462 back-illuminated CMOS sensor, this sensor has an increased resolution of 8.3MP from 2MP. This is increased to 24MP when used with CovalENS! This color sensor utilizes passive cooling for increased performance. It has a sensor format of 1/1.2", a size of 11.2 x 6.3mm, and pixel size of 2.9μm. Within the Vaonis Singularity app, you can access manual image processing and have your choice of composition and framing. You can even reveal the unseen with the Vespera II image live stacking technology which will allow you to see what is normally invisible to our eyes.

Improved Field of View

Vaonis has designed the optical system of the Vespera II with an aperture of 50mm. This is the same as the previous generation of Vespera telescope. However, they have integrated a larger sensor with a pixel array of 3840 x 2160 as opposed to the 1920 x 1080 within the Vespera I. This larger sensor captures more of the night sky and results in a larger field of view when compared to the Vespera I. This, paired with the increased focal length of 250mm, the Vespera II smart telescope offers bigger results.

CovalENS

With CovalENS, the first "panorama mode" ever embedded into a telescope, you can explore a much larger area of the sky than your instrument's original field of view, creating a panorama of the universe. With Vespera Mosaic mode and CovalENS, you have a wider window into the universe and more opportunities to capture unique images. There are some objects or groups of objects that are larger than other deep sky objects, making it difficult to see their entirety. An example of this is the Great Andromeda Galaxy, measuring about 3-deg at its longest dimension. This is 6x larger than the full Moon! The Mosaic mode extends the field of view of the Vespera II Smart telescope for more complete images of large deep sky objects, better exploration of large nebulas, to obtain sets of nebulas in the same view, and to capture small asterisms or groups of a stars, like the Kemble's Cascade (Camelopardalis constellation). The maximum field of view at the sensor proportions is 4.33-degrees x 2.43-degrees, and there is an increased resolution in Mosaic Mode. The mosaic framing is defined in relation to the north/south (EQ) sky orientation. This means you will not have to depend on the orientation of objects in the field of view. You can also benefit from the "dithering" effect, which reduces the impact of inherent sensor defects (noise and hot pixels), allowing for better quality images.

Share your Discoveries!

The Vaonis Vespera II telescope redefines the observation experience. With this innovative telescope, you can watch the stars through the mobile app. What makes the Vespera II truly special is the ability to share your celestial adventures with others. You can connect up to five mobile devices to your Vespera II station with the multi-user mode and then share your discoveries in Ultra-HD on different social media platforms. The Vespera II helps you share your passion and the vastness of the Universe with those you care about!

Automation At It's Finest

The Vespera II Smart telescope boasts five automated features that will make your observation session a breeze! The first is auto-initialization. The Vespera II will use your mobile's GPS, star pattern recognition, and astrometry to calibrate itself. Once your device is set up, the telescope will be ready in less than 5 minutes. The next is auto-alignment. The Vespera II observation station uses GoTo technology, and once you select a target in the app or enter celestial coordinates, the body of the scope will move and point to the object automatically. The third is auto-tracking. Driven by a motor and controlled by the integrated computer, the Vespera II will automatically track your celestial object and compensate for the Earth's rotation. The final automated feature is auto-focus. The Vespera II is one of the only smart telescopes on the market to utilize autofocusing, so you will no longer need to manually intervene to make sure your photos are as sharp as possible.

The Singularity App

The free Singularity app acts as the control room for your Vespera II Smart Telescope. This is where you decide every action you would like the Vespera II to take. The app is very intuitive and user-friendly, so you do not have to worry about a steep learning curve. You can easily access any stellar object within the Singularity's catalog of 4,300 objects, including planets like Jupiter and Saturn. Additionally, you will get personalized observation recommendations based on geolocation and the astronomical calendar. Using this information, Singularity also gives you the ability to thoroughly and easily plan out your evening session based on when your favored objects will be visible. This is also the place where you can learn about the objects you observe because the Singularity app is full of educational content to help make the experience more interactive and exciting. Once you start up your Vespera II telescope, Singularity will guide you each step of the way. This mobile app is compatible with both iOS and Android devices.

Recommended Accessories

Looking to round out your Vespera II smart telescope set up? Vaonis has many different complementary accessories that can enhance and expand your Vespera II experience. For example, capture images the Sun with the compatible Vaonis solar filter or mute the city lights to get the best images possible using the Vaonis CLS filter.
