Your smartphone. A portal to the Universe.

Hestia turns any smartphone into a precision optical instrument — capable of photographing sunspots, lunar craters, distant galaxies, and the full arc of a solar eclipse. No prior knowledge required.

Hestia is a smart telescope designed around one idea: the most powerful camera you own is already in your pocket. Hestia unlocks its full potential — day, night, and everything in between.

25× optical magnification

Six precision lenses — no electronics, no firmware. Hestia multiplies your smartphone's native zoom by 25 and boosts its image resolution fivefold.

Day & night observation

From sunspot monitoring to deep-sky astrophotography, Hestia is built for every sky condition — including solar eclipses, where it has already proven its capabilities.

Guided by Gravity app

The free Gravity app guides you to any target in seconds — no astronomy knowledge needed. Available on iOS and Android, included with every Hestia.

The instrument that proved itself during the solar eclipse of 2024.

During the total solar eclipse of April 2024, thousands of Hestia users across the United States captured the corona, Baily's beads, and the chromosphere with nothing more than their smartphone and Hestia's optical system. Images that would have required professional equipment a decade ago, now achievable by anyone.

CE-certified solar filter included
Ready for 2026 & 2027 solar eclipses
