Vaonis Vespera 3

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.

Why Vespera 3

Eight reasons to look up.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

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.

05

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.

06

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.

07

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.

08

Optics that protect themselves

An integrated humidity and temperature sensor automatically activates the anti-fog system. Your optics stay clear — whatever the conditions.

Take it anywhere

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.
