Vaonis Vespera II review: an ideal smart telescope for astrophotography beginners and advanced amateurs alike

Close up of the Vaonis Vespera II telescope outside.

There is no more enjoyable smart telescope than the Vaonis Vespera II (also called the  Vaonis Vespera 2), making it easily one of the best telescopes for astrophotography for beginners and advanced amateurs wanting to both cut down on hassle and save time. Affordable smart telescopes are all the rage – check our ZWO Seestar S50 review for proof of that – and the Vaonis Vespera II just about sneeks into that category. It is, however, a class above its more affordable rival, offering a superior build quality, much higher resolution images and a slick app called Singularity. 

With a longer focal length, upgraded focal ratio and a wider field of view than its predecessor, the Vaonis Vespera II is easy to use and lightweight enough to travel with. Is it the best smart telescope in 2024? For some users, it absolutely will be – but there are things you need to know before making a decision. Here’s everything you need to know about the Vaonis Vespera II.
