Vaonis Vespera II

Upgraded sensor

This compact telescope opens the door to complex astrophotography thanks to the powerful Sony IMX585 image sensor.

Vergeleken met de originele Vespera (die een Sony IMX462 sensor gebruikte) maakt deze nieuwe generatie een flinke sprong in resolutie: van 2MP naar maar liefst 8.3MP. Are you using CovalENS technology? Then this even escalates to 24MP. The color sensor uses passive cooling and has a 1/1.2″ size (11.2 x 6.3mm) with a pixel size of 2.9μm.

With the Vaonis Singularity app, you have full control over manual image processing and can decide on the composition and framing yourself. Thanks to the live stacking technologie van de Vespera II zie je het onzichtbare werkelijkheid worden: details die voor het menselijk oog verborgen blijven, verschijnen live op je scherm.

A wider field of view on the universe

Hoewel de opening van de Vespera II with 50 mm While the exterior has remained identical to its predecessor, the optical system underneath has been significantly overhauled. The main difference lies in the new sensor: whereas the first Vespera used a 1920 x 1080 pixel matrix, the Vespera II features a whopping 3840 x 2160 pixels.

This larger sensor simply captures a larger portion of the night sky, resulting in a significantly wider field of view. Combined with the increased focal length of 250 mm This yields impressive results. Even expansive objects, such as the famous Andromeda Galaxy, fit much more easily and in greater detail within the frame. In short: more pixels, a better overview, and even more stunning images.

CovalENS

Where you are normally bound to a fixed frame, this technology allows the Vespera II to capture a gigantic field of view 4.33° x 2.43° to achieve. This is particularly useful for objects such as the Andromeda Nebula, which, at three degrees across, is no less than six times larger than the full moon and simply won’t fit on a standard sensor.

During scanning, you also benefit from a natural dithering effect; because the telescope makes small, incremental movements to build the mosaic, sensor noise and hot pixels are effectively filtered out. The result is a clean image with higher resolution and a depth of field that you could never achieve with a single exposure. With Live Mosaic Mode, you can also watch these impressive panoramas come together live on your screen, adding a unique sense of depth to your observing session.

PerseverENS

With the PerseverENS With this upgrade, you overcome the limitation of a single night. While most smart telescopes stop after a single session, the Vespera II simply picks up where it left off the next time. By combining hours of data across multiple nights, you significantly improve the signal-to-noise ratio. This reveals extremely faint details in deep-sky objects that were previously out of reach. Thanks to the integration with CovalENS And with the Plan function, you can manage up to five different projects simultaneously, allowing you to effortlessly build professional, noise-free panoramas that far surpass standard ‘single-night’ recordings.

LumENS: Your personal AI astronomer

With LumENS The Vespera II serves not only as a camera but also as an interactive guide. This AI assistant answers all your questions about the object you’re currently photographing in real time, via both text and voice. It’s as if an expert were standing right beside you, delving deeper into the science behind the starry sky. The feature is fully integrated into the Singularity app (currently for iOS) and operates with strict privacy: your conversations and data are not stored. This way, you learn as you observe, exactly the way that suits you best.
