Take a highly capable optic designed for viewing the stars, add the ability to observe the star closest to us, and you've got the Vespera II Observation Station with Solar Filter and Tripod Kit from B&H. The Vespera II automatically finds and tracks the planets, stars, galaxies, and nebulae without the fuss of an optical telescope. Add the solar filter and prepare to be fascinated by sunspots and cycles of solar activity. The kit also includes an 11.8" aluminum tripod to hold the Vespera II steady for all your observations, solar or celestial.
Vaonis Vespera II Observation Station
Boasting a higher resolution and larger field of view than its predecessor model, the Vespera II Observation Station from Vaonis is a lightweight celestial observation and photography device small enough to fit in a backpack. Smart and fully automated, Vespera II is controlled by a mobile app, with imagery viewed on a tablet or phone rather than through an optical eyepiece. It turns automatically to the celestial object you want to see and tracks it to compensate for the earth's rotation while you observe and take photos.
Rechargeable and weighing just 11 lb, Vespera II makes it easy to explore and observe the night sky anywhere in the world, take your own photos of celestial objects, learn about the cosmos, and share your discoveries in one place. It features autofocus and supports the stacking of live images for enhanced detail and color. Vespera II uses your mobile's GPS, star pattern recognition, and astrometry to calibrate itself. Simply press the button, and you're ready for astronomical observation in about five minutes.
Vespera Features
Pointing and Tracking
Vespera II integrates GoTo technology and automatically tracks your stellar object, compensating for the Earth's rotation, and displays imagery on your tablet or phone.
Autofocus Technology
No need to manually focus; Vespera II automatically locks in tack-sharp focus on the object you're observing.
Auto Initialization
Using your mobile device's GPS, star pattern recognition, and astrometry to calibrate itself, Vespera II is ready for observation and photography in five minutes.
Sony IMX585 8.3MP Sensor
Vespera II uses a Sony sensor developed for extreme low light, offering 8.3MP resolution, a 1/1.2 format, and a 2.9µ pixel size.
Power Supply
Power is supplied by a built-in 3250mAh, 23Wh battery that charges via a 5/9/12/15/20V USB-C PD port with a user-supplied AC adapter and cable. The runtime is four hours.
Weather Resistant
Vespera II is water resistant and automatically switches off when it's raining.
Tripod Compatible
The Vespera II is fitted with a 3/8"-16 tripod attachment thread. The required tripod weight capacity is 11 lb.
Singularity App
The Control Room
Singularity is your control room, the place where you decide everything. Very intuitive and user-friendly, you can easily access any stellar object in the catalog. You will get personalized recommendations on what to observe according to your geolocation and the astronomical calendar, as well as notes about the secrets of the cosmos.
Catalog of Objects
Choose your destination among thousands of stellar objects in the regularly updated catalog. The Pillars of Creation, the Tulip Nebula, the Andromeda galaxy—what would you like to explore next?
Image Live Stacking
It only takes a few seconds for Vespera II to deliver the first image of your destination before stacking up dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of others in real time to gradually reveal the details and colors of the selected object. Whether within a few minutes or over several hours, you decide what level of detail you want to achieve in your final image.

Vaonis Standard Tripod for Vespera
Support your Vaonis Vespera observation station with this Standard Tripod. The adjustable legs can be unscrewed for easy storage. Made of black anodized aluminum, the tripod attaches to the Vespera with a 3/8"-16 mounting screw.
Vaonis Solar Filter for Vespera
This Solar Filter lets you use the Vaonis Vespera Digital Telescope to observe our closest star during the day. Mount the filter on the end of the optical arm to see and photograph sunspots. By taking multiple photos over the course of several days you can track part of the recurring 11-year cycle of sun spots, and also observe the sun's rotation. As with night-sky viewing and photography, the Vespera displays its image on the screen of your device, rather than through an optical eyepiece.
