Vaonis Vespera Pro 2

The most resolving smart telescope.
Point it at the sky. Let it work.

The Vespera Pro 2 combines the highest-resolution sensor on any smart telescope with a fully automated imaging system. Sony IMX 676. 12.5 megapixels. 225 GB onboard. Set it up in minutes, then watch publication-quality deep-sky images build — no telescope experience required.

Stunning deep-sky images, tonight. No prior experience. No dark-room setup. No learning curve.

Sony IMX 676 sensor

More detail than any other smart telescope.

12.5 megapixels on a 7.0 × 7.0 mm square sensor with 2 μm pixels. The square 1:1 format fills every pixel on round optics with useful data, while the fine pixel pitch resolves structure in nebulae and galaxies that larger-pixel sensors simply smear over. Limiting magnitude 16 opens targets no competitor can reach.

50

megapixel mosaics via CovalENS automated mode — the Vespera Pro 2 plans, captures, and assembles panels automatically, scaling to a 4.18° × 2.45° field of view across multiple nights.

Full manual control

Automated when you want it. Open when you don’t.

Adjust exposure time, gain, and framing manually. Capture calibration frames. Export 16-bit RAW FITS files ready for PixInsight, Siril, or any processing workflow. Beginners get a fully automated result; experienced imagers get full access to the imaging chain.

Automatic anti-fog

No dew heater. No ruined session.

An integrated humidity and temperature sensor activates the anti-fog system before condensation reaches the optics. No dew heater cables to route or remember — critical for humid Australian coastal and bush nights.

Storage

225 GB. Multi-night. Onboard.

225 GB of internal storage stores 30 multi-night imaging slots simultaneously. FITS frames, TIFF pre-stacks, and JPEG previews. A 30 MB/s USB-C connection transfers a night’s work to a laptop in minutes when you’re ready to process.

Multi-night mosaics

Resume where you left off. Automatically.

The Vespera Pro 2 automatically continues a mosaic project across multiple nights, restoring framing and settings between sessions without any manual intervention. Large-scale targets — the Vela Supernova Remnant, the Magellanic Clouds — become achievable from a dark paddock, not just a permanent observatory.

Stray-light baffles

Deeper contrast from any backyard.

Internal precision optical baffles block stray-light paths that wash out contrast in light-polluted skies. The result is a higher effective dynamic range and deeper limiting magnitude than unshielded designs — a meaningful advantage from suburban Sydney, Melbourne, or Brisbane.

Portable by design

Take it anywhere. Image everything.

50 mm aperture. 245 mm focal length. Lanthanum glass S-FPL52 apochromatic optics with a flat-field corrector. The Vespera Pro 2 weighs 5 kg and folds to 48 × 20 × 9 cm — carry-on size, yet capable of images that rival dedicated rigs costing far more. Eleven hours of battery runs from dusk to dawn with no power cable required.

Captured with the Vespera Pro 2

M17. The Omega Nebula.

4 hours integration. Dual-band filter. Bortle 4 skies. The Sony IMX 676’s 2 μm pixels render the intricate emission structure with a level of detail previously beyond any fully automated instrument.

M27. The Dumbbell Nebula.

4 hours integration, dual-band filter, Bortle 4 skies. The 12.5 MP square sensor resolves the nebula’s detailed outer shell and bipolar lobes. A single automated session from a dark-sky site.

Why the Vespera Pro 2

Everything automated. Publication-quality results from night one.

Sony IMX 676 sensor: 12.5 MP, 3536 × 3536 pixels, 2 μm pixel size — the highest native resolution on any smart telescope

CovalENS mosaic mode scales to 50 MP and a 4.18° × 2.45° field, automated across multiple nights with preserved framing

16-bit RAW FITS export, 16-bit TIFF pre-stacks, and manual gain/exposure control for full post-processing flexibility

225 GB onboard storage with 30 multi-night imaging slots and 30 MB/s USB-C transfer

Integrated anti-fog system with humidity and temperature sensor — activates automatically before condensation affects the optics

Precision optical baffles block stray light for improved contrast and deeper limiting magnitude from suburban and regional sites

11-hour battery life for full dusk-to-dawn sessions. 50 mm aperture, 245 mm focal length, f/4.9, Lanthanum S-FPL52 optics

1.6 arcsec/pixel native resolution and a 1.6° × 1.6° native field of view — ideal for nebulae, galaxy groups, and star clusters
