Telescope-Computerized Telescopes-Vaonis Vespera Pro Smart Telescope

Improved Sensor and Higher Resolution
The Vespera Pro Smart Telescope comes with an upgraded sensor and higher resolution when compared to the original Vespera telescope. The Vespera Pro integrates the next-generation Starvis 2 Sony Sensor, the IMX676. This sensor offers extremely competitive performance, and it is one of the best on the market. The image formats are JPG; TIFF; FITS (16-bit RAW images). The resolution for this sensor is 12.5 MP and it has a pixel size of 2μm, which pairs with the 250 mm focal for a 1.6 arcsecond-per-pixel resolution. With the CovalENS, the resolution can reach up to 50 MP!

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, and experience enhanced Live immersion via Live Mosaic Mode. 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 Pro 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 3.2-degrees x 3.2-degrees or 4.18-degrees x 2.45-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.

PerseverENS
Modern optics, sensors, and
post-processing technologies have made uncovering the faint and
awe-inspiring detail of deep sky objects more accessible than ever. Vaonis’
incredible algorithms and hardware make this clear, able to create stellar
images of a number of faint targets with just one night of imaging. However
with their PerseverENS update to the Singularity app, you
can take your images to a whole new level. With new multi-night observation
features unlocked, your Vespera Pro can now seamlessly pick up where your
previous night’s imaging left off and add more time on target. This
additional information increases the signal-to-noise ratio of your data to
reduce noise and better define faint features for even more stunning images
of celestial objects. This is compatible with your Vespera Pro’s CovalENS and
Singularity app’s Plan My Night 2 features, allowing you to effortlessly
plan and enhance panoramic images of deep sky targets, with up to five
simultaneous multi-night project supported!

New Field Corrector
Included with the Vespera Pro Smart Telescope is a new field corrector. With the larger sensor, this smart telescope has greater demands than the original Vespera I smart telescope. With these demands in mind, Vaonis has developed a new field corrector to ensure you are able to fully utilize the sensor’s potential. With a larger sensor than the original Vespera I smart telescope, a new field corrector has been designed to accommodate for this wider field of view. This field corrector provides a beautiful flat field for sharp stars throughout the frame! This addition maximizes the resolving potential of the available 12MP of resolution for crisp and clear details captured within the frame.

Secure by Design!
Vaonis engineered the Vespera Pro with a focus on protection! The included fly case has an aluminum reinforced exterior and high density internal foam padding, ensuring smooth transportation and safe storage when not in use. To further enhance your sense of security, the Vespera Pro has a built-in safety lock system. With the reinforced fly case and advance security features, you’ll have to confidence to take the Vespera Pro along on your next astro-adventure!

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

Automation at It’s Finest
The Vespera Pro Smart Telescope boasts five automated features that will make your observation session a breeze! The first is auto-initialization. The Vespera Pro 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 Pro 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 will automatically track your celestial object and compensate for the Earth’s rotation. The final automated feature is auto-focus. The Vespera 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 Vaonis App and the Vespera Pro Expert Mode
The free Vaonis app, Singularity, acts as the control room for your Vespera Pro Smart Telescope. This is where you decide every action you would like the Vespera to take. You can easily access and learn about any stellar object within the Singularity’s catalog of 4,300 objects, including planets like Jupiter and Saturn. Singularity also gives you the ability to thoroughly and easily plan out your evening session based on when your favored objects will be visible; with the Plan My Night 2 feature opening up Live Mosaic and Multi-Night (PerseverENS) scheduling. This mobile app is compatible with both iOS and Android devices. With the Vespera Pro upgrade, you will be able to access “Expert Mode” within the Singularity app. This mode comes with three distinct features: control of Vespera’s camera settings, the capture of dark calibration frames, and the automatic subtraction of these dark frames for reduction of thermal noise. When controlling the smart scope’s camera settings, you will be able to set the number of images, single exposure time, and gain. For ease of use, the Pro unit also comes with a lens cover to assist with taking dark frames!

Recommended Accessories
Looking to round out your Vespera Pro smart telescope set up? Vaonis has many different complementary accessories that can enhance and expand your Vespera 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. You can even get a compatible dual band filter to refine those image details even further! Vaonis also provides a compatible backpack for storage and transport that can be purchased separately as well. Please note: The Vespera Pro does not come with a USB-C charging cable or adapter.
