The Vespera III is equipped with the same sensor as the Vespera II, but features a few useful enhancements:
- The telescope’s optical design is inspired by Petzval, as is now standard for short-focus refracting telescopes used in astrophotography. The advantage is a flat field and excellent correction of chromatic aberration, as caused by glass lenses. This results in a clear image that remains sharply in focus right to the edges of the sensor.
- The Vespera III’s internal image memory is significantly larger at 115 GB.
- The battery capacity has also been significantly increased compared to the more affordable Vespera II and now allows for an operating time of approximately 11 hours.
- The Vespera III is equipped with a hygrometer. This allows for more precise control of the defrosting heater.
- The USB-C cable is now used not only for charging the battery but also for transferring image data.
- The Vespera III comes with a height-adjustable tripod made of aluminium.
The Vespera III is the perfect combination of telescope and camera. Intelligent and fully automatic, the wonders of the universe are now easily accessible to everyone. Explore and observe the night sky, take your own photos of celestial objects, learn about the cosmos and share your discoveries all in one place.
Have you always wanted to capture the stars? This observation station allows you to photograph the cosmos at the touch of a button. Vespera III incorporates technology that enables you to observe and photograph deep-sky objects with ease. You can now capture galaxies, nebulae, star clusters and much more. Vespera III features the Sony IMX585 CMOS sensor, which is very popular in astrophotography: 8.3 MP (3840 x 2160), 2.9 µm pixel size.
CovalENS is a feature of Vespera IIIthat allows users to create mosaic images of the night sky. With this feature, you can capture multiple images of adjacent areas of the sky and then stitch them together into a larger image. CovalENS uses advanced algorithms to align the images and remove distortion. This feature makes it possible to capture breathtaking views of the cosmos that would otherwise be impossible.
Field of view: Telescope + sensor: 2.5° x 1.4°, additionally with CovalENS: 4.3° x 2.4°.
Use Vespera III ’s live stacking technology to reveal what is invisible to the naked eye. It’s incredibly simple to use: select the object you wish to observe via the app, and Vespera III will align, track and capture it.
Auto-initialisation: Vespera III uses your mobile phone’s GPS, star pattern recognition (plate-solving) and astrometry to calibrate itself. Set up your instrument and have it automatically ready in less than 5 minutes.
Automatic alignment: The observation station features Go-To technology. Select a target in the app or enter any celestial coordinates, and the station will automatically move to and align with that position.
Auto-tracking: Powered by a motor and controlled by a built-in computer, Vespera III automatically tracks your celestial object and compensates for the Earth’s rotation.
Highly sensitive Sony sensor: Vaonis has developed its own electronic board to ensure optimal thermal management. A hot sensor leads to a lot of image defects, so the sensor board is designed to dissipate as much heat as possible.
Singularity App: Your guide to reaching the stars. Singularity is your control room, the place where you make all the decisions. Highly intuitive and user-friendly, you can easily access any celestial object from the catalogue. You’ll receive personalised recommendations on what to observe based on your location and the astronomical calendars, as well as insights into the mysteries of the cosmos. Singularity accompanies you every step of the way on your journey to the stars.
LumENS, the AI-powered companion!
LumENS is now available free of charge for all Vespera users and allows users to interact with their telescope like never before.
This AI answers astronomical questions, explains celestial objects currently being observed, and provides up-to-date astro knowledge in real time. The AI can be addressed by voice or keyboard. Voice input currently works in English and French, while keyboard chat works in all preset languages.
