The Vaonis Stellina Robotic Smart Telescope is an incredibly exciting product for those who like to think outside the box and look great while doing so! Although this incredibly innovative ‘Smart Telescope’ looks nothing like a traditional telescope, don’t let its unusual exterior fool you. Light pollution won't know what hit it with this amazing assemblage of beauty and technology! Stellina takes many short exposures of an obscure deep sky object and then precisely stacks them to create a final mind blowing image seen on your smartphone or tablet that is sure to satisfy.
With traditional telescopes, you view a magnified live image of a distant object through an eyepiece. If more or less magnification is desired you simply need to change eyepieces and refocus the telescope. With Stellina, there are no eyepieces involved. Instead, your smartphone or tablet, loaded with Stellina's free app, is your viewing screen. Simply choose an object you'd like to experience such as the beautiful Orion Nebula or the Hercules cluster. Once the correct button is pressed, Stellina shows that area of the sky on your screen and within seconds you'll begin to see the wispy structure of M42, or a brilliant ball of stars that is M13, form on your device.
With Stellina you can view the night sky with up to ten mobile devices all connected in unison! Picture a beautifully clear moonless night, with Stellina outside imaging a spiral galaxy while your whole family, each with their own devices, experiences the amazing view. Since Stellina uses a high-quality and extremely sensitive imaging sensor, it can show you deep-sky objects that would not be readily visible with traditional visual techniques from a city or suburb. Of course, when taking Stellina out to a dark sky site, your results will be even better, but a truly dark sky isn't necessary to be wowed by this exciting telescope!
