When you’re chasing high-quality astrophotography, every detail matters to close the gap between theoretical specs and real-world results. That’s why we upgraded the optics with a flat-field three-group apochromatic quadruplet design, making the new Vespera range even more capable.
Notable Improvements Over Vespera II:
Better Optics: The new Vespera III boasts a new Petzval-inspired optical design with a refined field corrector and precision internal baffles, for sharper images with better contrast and resistance to stray light.
More than 4x more internal memory: Now with 115 GB, compared to Vespera II's 25 GB.
Superior Battery Life: Now up to 11 hours
Built-in hygrometer, for humidity and dew control
- 8.3 Mp Sony IMX585 image sensor
- Up To 24 Mp images with CovalENS Mosaic mode covering a larger area of sky.
- 11 Hours run time from internal battery
- 115 GB Internal Storage
- Optics: 50mm aperture; 245mm focal length at f/4.9
- 2..5° x 1.4° Field of View
- Auto-Initialization
- Auto-Alignment
- Auto-Track
- Auto-Focus
- Auto-Processing
Building on the success of the Vespera II, Vespera III further refines Vespera imaging— the perfect combination of telescope and camera.
Smart and fully automated, Vespera is a revolution in the world of Astronomy. It will allow you to re-connect with the stars. The wonders of the Universe are now accessible to all with ease.
Explore and observe the night sky, take your own photos of celestial objects, learn about the Cosmos, and share your discoveries in one place.
Basically, select your target, and sit back and watch the photons come in!
Vespera redesigns the experience of observation. Watching the stars through our mobile app allows you to fly across the vastness of the Universe all together with your friends or family. Connect up to 5 mobile devices to your station with the multi-user mode, then share your discoveries in Ultra-HD on social networks. You can now share your passion with everyone.
Vespera uses one the latest Sony sensors developed for extreme low light. Its back-illuminated CMOS sensor offers a 1/2.8 format and a 2.9μm pixel size. We’ve also developed our own electronic card to make sure that heat management stays optimal. A hot sensor means a lot of defaults, so our sensor board is designed to dissipate the maximum amount of heat.
