Ten years after launching its first smart telescope, Vaonis has unveiled a device that differs fundamentally from anything the French brand has produced to date. The Atlas is not merely a larger, more powerful version of the Vespera. It is a completely new modular platform that can grow alongside its owner. A single base, interchangeable imaging modules, the option to use two optical systems simultaneously, the Sky Guard all-sky camera and, in future, equatorial mode and a specialised planetary module.
