Description

Vaonis Stellina Smart Telescope – The Future of Stargazing

The Vaonis Stellina Smart Telescope is a revolutionary observation station that brings astronomy into the digital age. Designed for beginners and experts alike, Stellina combines advanced optics, smart automation, and real-time image processing to deliver breathtaking views of the universe with unmatched simplicity.

At the heart of Stellina is an 80 mm ED doublet refractor with a 400 mm focal length (f/5), paired with a high-sensitivity Sony IMX178 CMOS sensor. This powerful combination captures stunning detail in deep-sky objects such as galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters.

Unlike traditional telescopes, Stellina is fully automated. With its integrated Go-To system, GPS, and star-field recognition, the telescope aligns itself and finds celestial objects without any setup hassle. The built-in field derotator, dew heater, and CLS light-pollution filter ensure clear and precise images in almost any environment.

The telescope is controlled entirely through your smartphone or tablet via the Stellinapp/Singularity app (iOS & Android). Users can explore a curated library of over 200 celestial objects or manually enter coordinates for their own targets. Thanks to real-time image stacking and processing, Stellina delivers high-quality astrophotography results instantly, with images exportable in JPEG, TIFF, and FITS formats.

Designed for social stargazing, Stellina creates its own Wi-Fi hotspot so multiple users (up to 20) can connect, share, and enjoy the night sky together. Its compact, water-resistant housing (IP53) and 11.2 kg lightweight design make it easy to set up anywhere, from your backyard to remote dark-sky locations.

With a 10,000 mAh rechargeable battery providing up to 5 hours of continuous use, Stellina is built for long nights under the stars. Whether you are an enthusiast capturing your first nebula or an experienced observer looking for a portable astrophotography solution, the Vaonis Stellina redefines what a telescope can be.
