This Vespera II Observation Station with Tripod & Backpack Kit from B&H offers stable support and easy portability for the fully automated digital telescope and camera. The Vespera II lets even novice astronomers see and capture the wonders of the night sky, including planets, galaxies, and nebulae. The tabletop-sized tripod holds the device steady while it tracks your subject, and the backpack makes it easy to travel to locations with the best conditions for viewing.
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.
Share Your Discoveries
Show the world your discoveries on social media and join the Vespera II community of explorers.
