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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Every number that matters.
The night sky, automated. Backed by Australia’s telescope authority.

New for 2026! Our most popular Smart Telescope for servious observers has been upgraded.
Highlights includes:
- New optics, with a three-group, flat-field apochromatic quadruplet.
- Light baffles to help combat stray light for urban astronomers
- 11-hour battery
- Increased internal storage
- Anti-fog system
- New, full height adjustable tripod
The most affordable premium smart telescope — built for everyone who wants more from the night sky.
Vespera 3 combines a new-generation optical design with all-night endurance and effortless automation. Whether you're under light-polluted skies or a dark rural horizon, it captures more, keeps everything, and asks nothing from you.
Eight reasons to look up.
Edge-to-edge sharpness
A new apochromatic quadruplet design eliminates chromatic aberration and field curvature across the entire frame. Every star — from centre to edge — is sharp.
Clarity even under city skies
Precision-engineered optical baffles suppress stray light before it reaches the sensor. More contrast, deeper objects — even from your backyard.
A full night. Uninterrupted.
11 hours of battery life take you from dusk to dawn without power banks or interruptions. Your session ends when you choose to stop.
Nothing gets lost
115 GB of onboard storage and USB-C transfer at 30 MB/s. Every frame from every session is saved, organised, and ready.
Fields no single shot can cover
Mosaic mode stitches multiple frames automatically — up to 24 megapixels — so you can image entire nebulae, galaxies, and clusters in a single session.
Sky colour — the integrated post-processing studio
Adjust colours, balance, and contrast directly in Singularity. From sensor to final image — no third-party software, no file juggling, no extra steps.
Your AI guide to the sky
LumENS answers your questions, explains what you're observing, and suggests your next target. Astronomy made intuitive from the very first night.
Optics that protect themselves
An integrated humidity and temperature sensor automatically activates the anti-fog system. Your optics stay clear — whatever the conditions.
From urban backyards to remote dark skies
Compact, self-contained, and fully autonomous — Vespera 3 is as comfortable at a remote dark-sky site as it is on a city rooftop.
