Article et interview de Digital Trends

During CES 2018, Stellina telescope caught the attention of Digital Trends, major media website featuring the latest technology news around the world. CES special reporter Jake Rossman interviewed Cyril Dupuy, founder of Vaonis, who gave a presentation of the award-winning smart telescope. The interview appears in an article published on January 11 on the media’s website :

Stellina smart telescope from Vaonis lets you take pictures of the universe

“The goal of this project is to make astronomy more accessible to everyone,” said Vaonis CEO Cyril Dupus. “We can easily take wonderful pictures with drones, and with GoPro, but nothing exists to take pictures of the universe. So we have created it.”

He’s talking about the newest addition to the telescope family — Stellina. While traditional telescopes can be difficult to use and install, Stellina offers up a simple, more user-friendly way to gaze into the heavens.

With app connectivity, this new-age telescope makes collecting gorgeous images of the stars easier than ever before. All you have to do is set up its tripod, press the power button, and choose from hundreds of suggestions directly from your smartphone. It only takes a few seconds for Stellina to position itself, take a picture, and send the image directly to your phone or computer. From there, you can share these photos on Facebook or Twitter, or just save them for a rainy day.

Stellina is also very compact. With its lightweight design, you can slip this telescope into a backpack, head to a remote location, and take wonderful pictures of the night sky. No matter where you travel, you’ll always be able to save your favorite images and share the beauty of the stars with the ones you love.

“There is no eyepiece, because with an eyepiece, you have to observe alone,” said Cyril Dupus, speaking to the connectivity Stellina provides.

You can reserve your own Stellina from the company’s website, which is offering a $500 discount for CES. With a price tag of $2,499, this smart telescope may be out of reach for the average consumer, but at least it’s a step in the right direction.
