Vaonis – the next chapter

Vaonis: “For years, we’ve been imagining what the next chapter would look like. On 15 October, exactly ten years on, Atlas will emerge from the darkness.”

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

When it comes to smart telescopes, the technical specifications are, of course, important. Sensor size, aperture, resolution, filters and exposure stacking capabilities tell us a great deal. Ultimately, however, there is really only one question that matters: what sort of photographs do ordinary users actually take with them?

TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE 2026 – with Vaonis from Burgos, Spain

Here’s a little gem for all Vaonis fans, like us here at LP. The lads did a live broadcast from Burgos, and you can see how the top-of-the-range Vaonis telescopes performed.

Take a photo of the solar eclipse and win a pair of Seestar binoculars!

Tomorrow, 12 August 2026, we’re in for an extraordinary astronomical spectacle – a solar eclipse. And because we know that there are plenty of photographers, astronomy enthusiasts and people who simply love to look up at the sky amongst the Treasure Hunters, we’ve organised a little photography competition to mark the occasion. The task is simple: take a photo of tomorrow’s solar eclipse, upload it to Treasure Hunters, and you could win a pair of Seestar binoculars.

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? 😀

Gravity – an app that turns Hestia into a smart astronomical station

When you hear the name Hestia by Vaonis, most people picture a high-quality optical attachment for a smartphone. In reality, however, Hestia is only half of the entire system. The other, equally important part is the Gravity mobile app, which turns an ordinary smartphone into a smart device for observing and photographing the universe.
