Hestia - Ultimate Pack

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.
Solar Eclipse · August 2026 · Europe

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

Astrophotographer loving the gift!

Astrophotographer has been my hobby for a while now, but I wouldn't have expected to be able to shoot deep sky objects with such a simple device ! Great little tool, here is a picture of Andromeda Galaxy taken with the little Hestia!

I bought this product to observe the eclipse on August 12th

I bought this product to observe the eclipse on August 12th. Can't wait. For the moment, Sun images are clear, and much better than I expected. I also used it to capture Orion M42, and I must say that I'm surprised!

Tres bon produit

Tres bon produit ... la premiere mise en place est un peu chronophage mais une fois la "bete" prise en main c est assez intuitif. Definitivement plus que les mini lunettes astro traditionnelles qui ne servent qu une nuit avant de finir au grenier.
