For centuries, telescopes have fascinated our minds. They have been our door to
the unknown, our way to explore, discover and contemplate
the unseen. Over time, they have evolved to help us see further and better.
Following the steps of those who came before us, we innovated and created a new
observation instrument to offer new possibilities for everyone. With their iconic design,
Vespera and Stellina claim their uniqueness in the astronomy landscape with style and elegance.
A revolutionary design for a revolutionary experience.

Auto-initialization
Vespera uses your mobile’s GPS, star pattern recognition and astrometry to calibrate itself. Set up your device and get it ready automatically in less than 5 minutes.
Auto-alignment
Our observation station embarks Go-To technology. Select a target in the app or enter any celestial coordinates, it will move and point to them automatically.
Auto-tracking
Driven by a motor and controlled by an embedded computer, Vespera automatically tracks your stellar object, compensating Earth’s rotation.
Auto-focus
Our products are the only telescopes on the market to incorporate autofocus. No longer any need for manual intervention to ensure the sharpness of your photos.

Small, yet powerful.
Quadruplet Apochromatic Refractor
Our team has designed a unique quadruplet lens of 50mm, formed by 2 groups of 2 lenses made with lanthanum glass. Vespera optics is one of the most accurate and powerful optical designs on the market with 0 distorsion, 0 chromatic aberration, 0 astigmatism.
High sensitivity Sony sensor
Vespera uses one the lastest Sony sensors developed for extreme low light. Its back-illuminated CMOS sensor offers a 1/2.8 format and a 2.9um pixel size. We’ve also developed our own electronic card to make sure that heat management stays optimal. A hot sensor means a lot of defaults, so our sensor board is designed to dissipate the maximum amount of heat.
