Day mode: observation of the Sun and sunspots, total and partial solar eclipses. A solar filter is necessary to observe the Sun without danger.
Night Mode: Moon, stars, and the brightest deep sky objects such as clusters, nebulae, and galaxies.
Although Gravity offers a timelapse mode, observing sunrises and sunsets of the Sun and Moon from your smartphone will be possible.
Hestia does not include a battery. It is an optical system that works without electronics or mechanics. The autonomy will therefore depend mainly on your smartphone.
No, Hestia will not be able to track objects.
The Gravity by Vaonis app will guide the user to do the tracking manually, thanks to in-app screen indications.
The tripod must:
be equipped with a fluid head, pan-tilt type with 2 axes (horizontal and vertical), and a ⅜” thread,
support a load of at least 500 g (1.1 lbs),
be stable and robust enough to prevent vibrations.
Smartphone tripods and ball heads are not compatible with Hestia.
