Inside Vespera 2 - How does it work?

With an 'old-fashioned' telescope, colors are imperceptible, and even the most beautiful nebulae appear as dull, blurry patches. Everything takes a turn with Vespera.

Technology at the forefront, Packed with cutting-edge technology, Vespera is the most innovative smart telescope you could ever find.

Vespera II combines premium quality optics with an ultra sensitive high-definition sensor and onboard computing technologies in an all-in-one, ready-to-operate device.

And the magic behind, Vespera harnesses an image enhancement process called 'stacking,' which involves capturing multiple shots of the same object, selecting the best ones, and stacking them to reduce noise and increase contrast.

Innovative algorithms, developed by Vaonis, then apply image processing to reveal the full range of colors and intricate details of nebulae and galaxies.

All of this happens automatically and in real-time. As you observe, the image quality gradually enhances.

Singularity App by Vaonis: your guide to reach the stars.

Singularity is your control room, the place where you decide everything. Very intuitive and user-friendly, you can easily access any stellar object of our catalog.

You will get personalized recommendations on what to observe, according to your geolocation and the astronomical calendar, and notes about the secrets of the Cosmos.

Singularity guides you each step of the way on your journey to reach the stars.

SPACE CENTER - Get full control of your journey.

The Space Center is the place from which you will start your exploration. This is where you will manage your instrument and find specific information depending on your location.

From this screen, you will get direct access to Vaonis enriched content.

Vaonis Vespera II and Red Carpet Telescopes

Great service from Red Carpet Telescopes. The Vespera II was easy to setup and use and on my first clear night I was able to capture four nice deep sky photos. This was my first time using a scope and doing astrophotography. But it couldn't have been a better experience. I am pleased with and recommend both Vaonis and Red Carpet.
