Hyperia
The power of an observatory. Made accessible.
HYPERIA
Everything we create begins with a simple emotion: the wonder of looking up.
Since our first instruments, we’ve sought to make the night sky accessible, to turn curiosity into discovery.
With Hyperia,
we asked ourselves a new question:
what happens when you remove every limit?
It’s not just another telescope.
It’s where precision serves emotion, and discovery becomes collective.
Professional heritage
Born under a dome of knowledge.
Hyperia was first conceived as part of a major scientific project:
equipping the renewed Palais de la Découverte in Paris with a state-of-the-art digital astronomical observatory.
A context where precision, reliability, and optical excellence were not optional.
They were essential to inform, explain, and inspire the public.
This same professional-grade expertise now extends beyond institutions,
offering those dedicated to astronomical outreach a tool designed to reveal the Universe and share it.
Built for demanding environments
Designed to operate seamlessly in museums, science centers, rooftops, and observatories, Hyperia delivers a consistent experience night after night.
It supports repeated public sessions without disruption, ensuring reliability in front of every audience.
Live astronomy for every audience
Stream real-time observations directly into planetariums, classrooms, and digital theaters.
Hyperia allows audiences to witness celestial objects as they are observed.
A powerful way to engage, explain, and create a shared moment of discovery.
Clarity that supports explanation
Hyperia delivers clear, stable, and repeatable observations that support scientific explanation in real time.
Mediators can focus on storytelling, interpretation, and dialogue — not on managing the instrument.
The sky becomes a reliable medium for learning, session after session.
An Alliance That Changes Everything
Canon excellence. Vaonis engineering.
Hyperia integrates optical technologies derived from decades of Canon expertise.
Combined with Vaonis’ advanced imaging and observatory-grade engineering, this foundation sets a new standard for digital astronomical instruments.
Light, Uncompromised.
Hyperia is designed around a single obsession: capturing light without loss.
Its unique combination of a 150 mm aperture and an f/4 focal ratio gathers faint photons with remarkable efficiency.
This is where distant structures emerge and subtle contrasts reveal themselves.
Seventeen Lenses. One Vision.
Seventeen precision-engineered lenses work together as a single optical system.
Developed by Canon, each element is positioned to correct distortion, chromatic aberration, and field curvature before the image is formed.
Sharpness is uniform, from center to edge.
Contrast, Born from Darkness.
Seeing deeper means mastering darkness as much as light. Hyperia’s advanced coatings and internal light control suppress stray reflections and unwanted glare.
Backgrounds remain deep. Structures gain relief. Darkness becomes the canvas where detail appears.
Air Sphere Coating.
Each lens is treated with Air Sphere Coating, Canon’s most advanced anti-reflective technology. By minimizing internal reflections at the microscopic level, it maximizes light transmission and contrast.
What reaches the sensor is purer, cleaner, and more faithful to the night sky.
Professional-grade performance
The power of an observatory. The simplicity of a Vaonis instrument.
Hyperia combines the core technologies of a professional observatory into a single, integrated instrument.
From ultra-precise tracking and field derotation to a weather-resistant aluminium structure and a full-frame imaging sensor, every component is designed to work together seamlessly.
Perfectly Aligned Stars.
Keeps stars motionless during long exposures, ensuring sharper and more accurate astrophotography.
Precision in Motion.
Delivers ultra-smooth, silent, and backlash-free tracking. Up to 60°/s - Full rotation in 6seconds.
Filters at Your Fingertips.
Swap filters in seconds and adapt instantly to any sky conditions or imaging style.
Engineered for Endurance.
A rigid and thermally stable aluminum structure designed to perform flawlessly in demanding environments.
Stability Built In.
A clean, integrated base that mounts and levels instantly for vibration-free, hassle-free observing.
A 45 MP full-frame.
3.30° × 2.20° field of view, capturing faint details with exceptional clarity and depth.
Experience
Your space becomes a window to the Universe.
Hyperia transforms any location into a place of exploration and understanding.
Whether welcoming an audience, hosting a guided session, or sharing a moment of discovery, it adapts seamlessly to its environment.
From intimate gatherings to public demonstrations, Hyperia creates meaningful encounters with the night sky, where observation becomes dialogue, and wonder becomes shared knowledge.
Deep-Sky Mastery
Explore every detail. Pixel for pixel.
Hyperia captures the Universe with a level of precision rarely accessible outside professional observatories. View each image in its full native resolution and discover the structure, textures and faint details hidden in the deep sky, exactly as Hyperia records them, without compression, without compromise.
Region 1
0.68° x 0.37°
Other actives regions of the nebula featuring pillars of dense gaz carve by the stellar wind of hot stars
Region 2
0.9° x 0.72°
Those dark patches called Bok globules are small interstellar clouds of very cold gas and dust. Inside them, the gas can collapse under gravity, forming one or a few new stars.
Region 3
0.6° x 0.86°
The Elephant’s Trunk is a dense piece of the original cloud, slowly carved by the radiation from nearby stars. In its tip, new stars are being born where this radiation has compressed the gas.
Region 1
0.65° x 0.86°
Spanning 20 light-years, the Cygnus Wall is the most intense star-forming area in the complex. It is a dense ridge of gas and dust, ionized and sculpted by nearby hot, young stars.
Region 2
0.62° x 0.92°
The North America Nebula and the Pelican Nebula are actually part of the same nebular complex, separated only in appearance by a massive cloud of cold dust and gas lying in front of the ionized region and blocking its light.
Region 3
0.32° x 0.51°
In the Pelican Nebula’s most active zone, dense pillars of gas and dust are slowly eroded by stellar radiation, while newborn stars emerge from the globules at their tips.
