Vespera Robotic Telescope, handy but expensive

As the nights get longer, the stars begin to lure more and more. So it is getting better and better to have a telescope. But that requires skill, knowledge and experience. The Vespera Robotic Telescope solves all these problems, but at a hefty price.

Vespera Robotic Telescope, easy to carry and easy to use

All those routine chores that you, as an astronomy enthusiast, would rather not always have to take care of, such as endlessly searching for a certain planet or star with the help of a flashlight and a star map, can be taken over by this automatic robotic telescope. And so you can enjoy your hobby as it is meant to be, namely as a hobby.

When folded, the Vespera Robotic Telescope most resembles a somewhat elongated and flat egg of about five kilos. But looks are deceiving. When unfolded, on a stable tripod, this telescope turns into an advanced observation station that can precisely locate and zoom in on any location in the night sky.

A user-friendly app is also included, with which it is possible to read an extensive explanation for every astronomical object that you observe. This combination of user-friendly operation and that the telescope is easy to carry, is actually its main selling point.

Unfortunately, the optics, and that is of course what a fanatic amateur astronomer is mainly about, is not really anything to write home about. The Vespera Robotic Telescope is and remains a small telescope with a small aperture and a good, but for this price not very high resolving power.

In plain language: it doesn’t catch a lot of light and it isn’t very sharp either. For the quite high suggested retail price of more than € 4500 you can get a much, much better telescope in terms of lenses. For example, the most popular telescope in the world, the Celestron 11069 NexStar 8 SE computerized telescope, costs less than half. But that is a huge thing that you can only take with you in your backpack if you have successfully passed the selection procedure of the Commando Corps.

It is a very user-friendly beginner telescope, which in itself gives reasonable images, but the price is very high. You’re basically paying for portability and automatic control. But are you a novice astronomy enthusiast and can you spare the money? Then the Vespera Robotic Telescope not a bad telescope.
