Vaonis Vespera Pro Observation Station Telescope with Vespera Dual Band Filter and Backpack Bundle

Vaonis Ultra Compact and Lightweight, Foam Padded Backpack for Vespera with Storage Space (Black)

Take your Vespera wherever you go with this specially designed Vaonis Ultra-Compact and Lightweight Foam Padded Backpack to safely carry your observation station. It comes in a premium Black finish that looks chic and classy.

Take Vespera with You Wherever You Go

Weighing only 1 kg, the bag makes it easy to carry Vespera when traveling or enjoying an evening under the stars. It’s small enough to fit easily in a car or on public transportation. It can also be transformed into a hiking or leisure bag by simply removing the removable interior compartment.

Protect Your Station

The backpack is made of a soft material that is resistant to rain, dust, and wear. The Vespera’s shell is protected from impacts and scratches thanks to the foam padding over the entire surface of the bag and a fully padded interior. The compartments and numerous pockets prevent the accessories from rubbing against the observation station.

Storage Space for All Your Accessories

The Vespera backpack designed by Vaonis offers a host of storage spaces for your observation station and its accessories: a tripod, charger, filters, tablet, cell phone, backup battery, etc. It features 1 side pocket on the front of the bag to store a tablet or laptop, 2 pockets, 1 of which is zippered on the flap of the backpack, 1 compartment for your Vespera, and 1 removable accessory compartment with 3 spaces.

Unparalleled Comfort for Carrying A Telescope

The back panel is reinforced to provide greater comfort when carrying the bag. The shoulder straps are padded and lined with mesh fabric for improved ventilation when wearing the bag on your back for long periods or in high temperatures.

Use and Maintenance

Unscrew the tripod and disassemble it completely before packing your station in the bag. Lay the backpack completely flat to safely remove/pack away your instrument and avoid the risk of dropping, breaking, or scratching it. You can add an anti-theft device to the main zipper on the two interlocking zipper pulls.

Vaonis AC022 Vespera Dual Narrow Band Interference Filter for Nebula Photography (Black Exterior)

The Vaonis AC022 Vespera Dual Band Filter is a dual narrowband interference filter that will significantly improve your photo quality, whether you are viewing from an urban or natural environment. By selecting very precisely the wavelengths of Hydrogen Alpha (H-alpha) and Oxygen III (O-III), found mainly in nebulae, the filter will increase the contrast between the Stellar object and the sky background. Thus, its use makes it possible to obtain a higher-quality image, with sharper stars and finer details.

Ideal for Nebula Photography

The Dual Band filter has been designed to allow only two particular wavelengths to pass through to the Vespera sensor, O-III, and H-alpha. Due to the filtered wavelengths, it is particularly effective for photographing nebulae in emission (e.g. Orion nebula M42, Heart nebula IC 1805), dark nebulae endowed with hydrogen (e.g., Horsehead or Elephant’s Trunk nebula), planetary nebulae (e.g. Owl nebula M97, Dumbbell nebula M27), and supernova remnants (e.g. Veil nebula, Crab Nebula M1). For globular clusters (e.g. Hercules cluster M13, cluster M92), the selectivity of the Dual Band filter will help you obtain sharper stars.

Specifically Studied for Vespera

The optical quality of the Dual Band filter has been specifically studied by our engineers to offer use at full aperture without any impact on the optical diameter of the instrument. The lens ring is equipped with an electronic micro-card that allows Vespera to detect the Dual Band filter and adapt its observation and image processing parameters. The filter features 12nm of bandwidth for each wavelength.

Instructions for Use

Designed specifically for Vespera, the filter fits easily and discreetly into the optical arm. Remove the standard Vespera lens ring and insert the Dual Band filter until you hear a click. To verify that the Dual Band filter is properly positioned, connect Vespera to your mobile device and launch the Singularity app. In the Space Center and then on the instrument screen, the word dual is shown. The use of the dual-band filter is incompatible with the observation of galaxies due to the rejection of a good part of the spectrum, which attenuates the signal of the galaxies. The filter is of little interest for the observations of the moon, individual stars, and planets. The dual-band filter is ineffective against LED lighting.

Directions for Use

Do not expose the filter to direct sunlight. Store the filter in its box after each use to avoid dust buildup. If you notice any streaks or dust, gently clean the filter with an optical wipe, microfiber cloth, feather duster, or air blower. Do not attempt to open the lens ring that contains the filter.
