The Messier Catalogue through the eyes of Vaonis users – see what Vespera’s smart telescopes can do

Why I believe that Vaonis smart telescopes are currently the most technologically advanced

Over the past two years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with all the smart telescopes on the market. Or at least all those worth mentioning. My assessment is certainly subjective, as I haven’t taken the prices of the instruments fully into account. Nevertheless, if you’re currently thinking about buying your first smart telescope, this article might at least provide some inspiration.

On 12 August 2026, Europe will experience its biggest solar eclipse in nearly 30 years

On Wednesday 12 August 2026, one of the greatest astronomical events of the current decade will take place over Europe. For the first time since 1999, a total solar eclipse will be visible on the European continent, attracting hundreds of thousands of observers from all over the world. Whilst residents of northern Spain, Iceland and Greenland will be able to admire several tens of seconds of total darkness and the magnificent solar corona, most of Europe, including the Czech Republic, will experience a very pronounced partial eclipse.

We are starting a long-term test of the Vaonis Vespera III astronomical telescope.

After a few weeks, finally a night suitable for stargazing: no clouds, tolerable haze and the moon at 20 per cent. What more could you ask for here on the outskirts of Prague? 😀
