I paid over $3600 for the setup ($2900 for Vespera Pro 2, $600+ for the filters and $200 for the Benro tripod. The stock legs don't work (one leg is cross threaded into the connector) so I upgraded to the much better Benro tripod.
The lens is clean with very small dust particles. The filters are very clean. This unit works perfectly, I have taken many many great images over several days each with this vespera pro 2. Cosmetically there are marks on the scope from use (I captured with the photos). The case is hard case from Vaonis, the foam has seen better days (captured in photos) but is fully functioning to protect everything. I am including several 3d printed filter holders if you want to use your own filter and also two 3d printed dew shields.
Price is $1900 shipped to lower 48 states. Thanks for looking!
Employing a Petzval-inspired lens for a flat field with sharp stars edge-to-edge, the Vespera Pro 2 Smart Telescope from Vaonis is a powerful yet easy-to-use tool for exploring and photographing the night sky. Smart and fully automated, the Vespera Pro is controlled by a mobile app, with imagery viewed on a tablet or phone rather than through an optical eyepiece. It turns automatically to the celestial object you want to see and tracks it to compensate for the earth's rotation while you observe and take photos. No astrophotography expertise is required, but experts will find sophisticated imaging tools for creating beautiful images. It comes with a tripod, and its battery will run for 11 hours on a charge.
No Expertise Necessary Vespera Pro 2 simplifies astrophotography with automatic pointing, tracking, and focusing, coupled with advanced image enhancement (referred to as stacking). In just a few minutes, you'll have everything set up and ready to go. Tools for Experienced Astrophotographers Choose your field of view and framing to capture the perfect shot. Capture calibration frames, customize camera acquisition settings, and retrieve 16-bit raw image files to leverage your skills with your favorite astronomy image processing software. Sensor and Lenses The Vespera Pro 2 features a Petzval-inspired apochromatic quadruplet configuration with field correction. Images are captured by a Sony SMX676 Starvis 2 sensor with a 2.0µ pixel size. CovalENS Mosaic and Panorama Mode Double your field of view from the native 1.6 x 1.6 to 3.2 x 3.2° with CovalENS mosaic and panorama mode. CovalENS can also increase the native 12.5MP image resolution to an effective 50MP. You can alter the framing to capture what you want in your image and have access to image enhancement tools such as automatic stacking. BalENS Image Processing Engine BalENS plays on the balance of signal dynamics, boosting weaker elements and calming the brighter ones to capture fainter astronomical objects and finer details within celestial images. BalENS also flattens the background, ensuring uniformity across the entire field of view. Stray Light Shielding You can't ask your whole neighborhood to switch off their lights. So Vespera 3 features an optical baffle that blocks stray light and delivers better performance in urban environments. Multi-Night Mosaics Accurate framing, exposure time, gain, mosaic progress, stacking progress: everything is saved from night to night. Just hit Resume and keep collecting. Unsupervised Astrophotography Preserve your sleep while your celestial safari continues. The Plan My Night feature lets you schedule your smart telescope to automatically carry out a sequence of observations. Works seamlessly with Mosaic Mode and Multi-Night Capture. Memory and Power Supply The Vespera Pro 2's Power is supplied by a built-in battery that charges via USB-C and has a runtime of 11 hours. Included Essentials The Vespera Pro 2comes with a preinstalled hygrometer sensor that activates an anti-fog system when a certain temperature and humidity threshold is reached. Tall Carbon Fiber Tripod Included is a lightweight carbon fiber tripod with three-section legs, a maximum height of 35.8 inches, and a maximum payload of 30.8 pounds, for comfortable observing in any position. SkyColor Image Editing App SkyColor Studio offers a suite of easy-to-use image editing tools that let you enhance and customize the images captured with Vespera Pro 2 in just a few minutes. Automatic Calibration for Darker Skies Automatic image calibration allows Vespera Pro 2 to reduce digital noise and optimize observation quality, while keeping the capture process simple. Generate a Universal Master Dark once and use it forever, whatever the temperature and the camera exposure and gain settings.
