Vaonis Vespera 3 Smart Telescope
$4,299.00
Eleven hours. One button. The deep sky.
Set up in five minutes, press one button, and photograph nebulae on your very first night, no experience needed. A new flat-field apochromatic quadruplet, an all-night battery and fully automatic capture mean Vespera 3 captures more, keeps everything, and asks nothing of you.
“The most affordable premium smart telescope.” Vaonis, on the Vespera 3.
A flat-field apochromatic quadruplet.
The new three-group optical design eliminates chromatic aberration and field curvature across the entire frame. Stars stay tight from centre to edge, with improved response in the blue and red ends of the spectrum for stronger colour contrast.
Baffled against stray light.
Precision-engineered optical baffles stop streetlights and porch lights before they reach the sensor. The result is more contrast and deeper targets, even from a suburban backyard.
11 hours on a charge.
Vaonis rates it the longest battery life of any smart telescope, enough to run from dusk to dawn without a power bank. Extend it further over USB-C if a marathon session demands it.
115 GB. Nothing gets lost.
Every frame from every session is saved and organised onboard, with 16-bit FITS and pre-stacked TIFF files ready for transfer. USB-C moves a full night of data at 30 MB/s.
24-megapixel mosaics.
Mosaic mode stitches frames automatically up to 24 MP, expanding the view to 4.33° × 2.43° without giving up resolution. Entire nebulae, galaxies and clusters fit in a single capture.
Sensor-driven dew defence.
An integrated humidity and temperature sensor activates the anti-fog system automatically, tuned to preserve battery. The optics stay clear through damp Australian nights without you touching a thing.
The Rosette Nebula. 3.5 hours. Bortle 4.
Captured with the Vespera 3 and dual band filter, stacked automatically onboard. No guiding, no manual alignment, no post-processing marathon. All from a scope that packs into carry-on luggage.
Frame fields no single shot can cover.
CovalENS builds mosaics up to 24 MP while you watch, live-stacking every frame onboard. No manual stitching, ever, even for wide targets like the Rosette or Rho Ophiuchi.
Stack for dozens of hours. Automatically.
Exclusive to Vespera, multi-night capture saves framing, exposure, gain and stacking progress across 15 project slots. Hit Resume the next clear night and keep collecting photons where you left off. Ambitious deep sky astrophotography, without the all-nighters.
Schedule the sky. Sleep through it.
Queue a sequence of observations in the Singularity app and Vespera 3 works through them unsupervised, mosaics and multi-night projects included. Your celestial safari continues while you rest.
Post-processing ready at capture end.
One auto-saved master file per project, with pre-stacked 16-bit files ready for PixInsight, Siril or any other processing suite. No juggling thousands of subframes.
From sensor to final image, inside one app.
Adjust background, contrast and colour balance, denoise, create starless views or apply Hubble-inspired palettes, all within Singularity. Ask LumENS, the built-in AI astronomy companion, what you are looking at and where to point next, by voice or text.
5 kg. Carry-on sized. Subzero rated.
A metal chassis keeps tracking rigid where lesser scopes flex, for sharper stars and fewer rejected frames. The included adjustable aluminium tripod with bubble level extends from 10 cm to 91 cm and carries up to 14 kg, ready for rough ground and dark-site road trips.
50 mm f/4.9 flat-field apochromatic quadruplet with refined field corrector.
Sony IMX585 colour sensor: 8.3 MP native, up to 24 MP in mosaic mode.
Fully automatic initialisation, pointing, focusing, tracking and stacking, a smart telescope that beginners can drive on night one.
One-button start-up with guided setup in the Singularity app, thousands of catalogue targets.
LumENS AI companion answers questions and suggests targets by voice or text.
Optical baffle controls stray light; add the CLS filter for heavy skyglow suppression.
Solar observation supported with the optional Vespera solar filter.
Five-year warranty as standard, with battery extendable over USB-C power banks.
Under Australian skies. Backed by Bintel.
