Vaonis Vespera

Vespera reView

I purchased my Vespera from Red Carpet Telescopes because when I applied their coupon found on their website for 3% off that made it the cheapest place I could find in Canada to purchase a Vespera from. I was even cheaper by a smaller margin than purchasing from the manufacturer!

Delivery was on time and on date but I was not able to be home and the telescope was going to be dropped off at my local dropoff spot the next afternoon. I received an email from Matt at RCT Support almost immediately explaining what had happened and to reach out if he may be of assistance somehow. Got to like that!

I got the Vespera home yesterday and set it all up. There's a bit of reading around required to figure out how everything is going to work but it was a lot easier than trying to find information on my Unistellar eQuinox that I've been using the last 2 years. I set up the scope at 830 pm and ran it flawlessly until 330 am then next morning. I still had 20% battery life after all that time. I did 3 plus hours on an M31 (The Andromeda Galaxy) mosaic without any filters and I must say I am very impressed! The mosaic mode is a game changer and one of the features that really sold me on this unit. The last two years I've been trying to make mosaics on my own from my eQuinox with less than idea results. The Vespera opens new doors to my imaging for wider field objects. I am impressed! Next I ran a 30 minute mosaic on M45 (The Pleiades) and again I am very happy with the results. The blue nebulosity around the stars appeared almost immediately. I also imaged M81-82 combination, the Iris Nebula, and took a look at the Stephan's Quintet galaxy grouping. I will return to them again one day to gather more time on them.

After I submit this review I am taking the Vespera outside with the solar filter on and get a couple shots of the Sun. I wanted to do that first thing yesterday but you can only do it after the scope has been initialized and operated at night at least once. So thats what I'm doing next!

Over all, having used a Unistellar eQuinox the last two years I think I can honestly say the Vespera has become my #1 goto scope. And they say the best scope you own is the one you use the most. Looks like the Vespera is the best scope I own now!
