Description
Vaonis Vespera II Overview
Boasting a higher resolution and larger field of view than its predecessor model, the Vespera II Observation Station from Vaonis is a lightweight celestial observation and photography device small enough to fit in a backpack. Smart and fully automated, Vespera II is controlled by a mobile app, with imagery viewed on a 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.
Vespera Features Pointing and Tracking Vespera II integrates GoTo technology and automatically tracks your stellar object, compensating for the Earth’s rotation, and displays imagery on your tablet or phone. Autofocus Technology No need to manually focus; Vespera II automatically locks in tack-sharp focus on the object you’re observing. Auto Initialization Using your mobile device’s GPS, star pattern recognition, and astrometry to calibrate itself, Vespera II is ready for observation and photography in five minutes.
