With its high-definition sensor and live panorama capture, Vespera Pro is the world's most versatile smart telescope
With automatic live mosaic capture, you are no longer limited by the physical field of view of the telescope. You can capture a greater variety of celestial objects and explore new ways to compose your images. Go beyond the constraints of traditional astrophotography!
Call it mosaic mode, panorama mode or field expansion, CovalENS is the first ever technology, available exclusively on Vaonis smart telescopes, that let you capture images with a wider field of view than the native one of your smart telescope. Live and fully automatic.
Expand the field of view of your smart telescope up to twice vertically and horizontally*. Capture the Andromeda Galaxy and the large nebulae in all their glory. It's like having a second telescope dedicated to wide field observation and photography.
*Depends on smart telescope model.
The orientation of objects in the image is no more dependant of the orientation of the camera, your mount type or the position of the object in the sky. You are free to choose the perfect composition for your astrophotography masterpiece.
No need to plan ahead.
No need to use third-party apps or websites.
No need to run complicated stitching tasks.
Thanks to Singularity, our user-friendly app that controls your smart telescope, capturing a mosaic is really straightforward. Just choose your main target, ajust the framing and orientation on the star chart and you are ready to go. Your observation station will do the rest without requiring any intervention.
An innovative and intelligent algorithm that delivers the best image quality
CovalENS benefits from a process used by experienced astrophotographers, called dithering. It dramatically improves the quality of images by cancelling out hot pixels, fixing pattern noise and more. The stacking process operates simultaneously so you end up with an image file ready for post-processing. Calibration frames are no longer required.
Unlock the full potential of Singularity
