AUTOMATIC ALIGNEMENT AND TRACKING Choose your destination in the Singularity object catalog or enter the celestial coordinates of the object. Your station will automatically point to the selected area, and track it to maintain optimal viewing conditions. IMAGE PROCESSING It only takes a few seconds for Stellina and Vespera to deliver the first image of your destination before compiling dozens, hundreds or even thousands of other images in real time, progressively revealing ever greater details and colors. SPACE CENTER Take control of your station from the Space Center: prepare your observation evening by checking the weather forecast, create and manage your observation locations, check the parameters of Stellina/Vespera... You can also read the astronomical news or our advice on Stellina and Vespera on our blog while waiting for nightfall. MOSAIC MODE CovalENS is the first automated “panorama mode” ever embedded into a telescope. This unique patented technology, developed by Vaonis, allows you to take several photos of a same stellar region and then automatically stitch them together, thus offering users a larger view (field) of the universe. SOLAR MODE Observe easily and safely the closest star to Earth during the day with the Vaonis solar filters. The Solar Mode allows you to observe and capture sunspots that show the intensity of the Sun’s activity. EXPERT MODE Access an unlimited number of objects with coordinate pointing. Customize your camera's exposure time and gain to generate initial files for manual processing using image editing software. PLAN MY NIGHT Program your observation station for the night and let it explore the Universe on its own. After a good night's sleep, recover your photos on a USB key (Stellina) or via Wi-FI FTP protocol (Vespera). SHARE YOUR JOURNEY ON SOCIAL NETWORKS Your trip is over, share it! Show the world your photos on social networks and join our community of explorers, using the hashtags #myStellina or #myVespera.
