Vespera, Discover The Universe In A Totally New Way Wins CES2021 Innovation Award

A year ago, Vaonis dispatched an astrophotography framework called Stellina. Costly and somewhat cumbersome, it wasn’t for everybody. Nonetheless, the organization’s most recent camera/telescope crossover, called Vespera, offers a considerable lot of similar highlights as Stellina for a quarter the expense: $1,000.

Modern Technology Meets Astrography

Vaonis has the objective of “altering the universe of novice stargazing,” and the Vespera is as far as anyone knows above and beyond toward that path. Weighing only 10 pounds (5 kilograms), Verspera consolidates optics, gadgets, and high-accuracy mechanics into an item controlled with an application. The outcome is an item that has an unquestionably more congenial value point than the $4,000 Stellina.Last year, Vaonis dispatched an astrophotography framework called Stellina.

Vaonis has the objective of “altering the universe of novice stargazing,” and the Vespera is probably above and beyond toward that path. Weighing only 10 pounds (5 kilograms), Verspera joins optics, gadgets, and high-exactness mechanics into an item controlled with an application. The outcome is an item that has an unmistakably more agreeable value point than the $4,000 Stellina.

Vespera (a name that means “evening” in Latin) has the same sleek, futuristic design as its larger counterpart, but it’s more compact and less than half the weight. It stands 15 inches (40 centimeters) tall, just 4 inches (9 cm) shorter than Stellina.

Vespera vs Stellina

In lieu of an eyepiece, both Vespera and Stellina display images on a mobile device, and the telescopes are controlled via a mobile app. Because they use your smartphone’s GPS to calibrate themselves, these telescopes require virtually no setup at all, making them easy to use for casual stargazers looking for a hassle-free way to see deep-space objects like nebulas, galaxies and star clusters.

The technology used by both Vespera and Stellina is the same, refractor lenses but Vespera has a smaller aperture of 3 inches (50 mm) and focal ratio of f/4, compared to Stellina’s 3-inch (80 mm) f/5 aperture. The image resolution is also slightly reduced, with 2 megapixels as opposed to Stellina’s 6.4 megapixels.

While many cuts were made to Vespera in order for it to become a cheap and a smaller design the image output is still quite decent when compare to Stellina captured images. Although not suited for professional photography, Vespera is still a great choice for novice astro photographers.

Vanio is currently accepting pre-orders for Vespera at $1,499, or about one-third the hefty price of Stellina, which costs $4,999. Vaonis expects to start shipping Vesperas in the spring of 2022. The smart telescope raised more than $2.5 million on Kickstarter in 2020.
