Vaonis Telescope Comparison: Stellina vs. Vespera
Vaonis offers a few different Computerized Smart Telescopes, each with their own unique features and capabilities. The two different Vaonis Telescopes that we will be comparing are Stellina, and Vespera.
NOTE: The Stellina and Vespera Telescopes are designed primarily for Deep Sky Astrophotography, and not for viewing and/or imaging smaller objects such as Planets. However, you can still view Planets and their distinguishable characteristics (Rings of Saturn etc) with these Telescopes, they will just appear smaller in the Field of View (FOV).
- The Vaonis Stellina is a more advanced telescope that offers a fully automated observing experience. It uses advanced imaging technology and AI to automatically locate and track celestial objects, making it easy for users to take high-quality astrophotos. The Stellina is also portable and easy to set up, making it a great option for astrophotographers on the go.
- The Vaonis Vespera is a popular choice for beginners and intermediate users. It is a compact and portable telescope that offers excellent image quality and ease of use. The Vespera uses a unique curved mirror design that provides a wide field of view and eliminates distortion.
