A telescope, but make it the 2021 version. Unlike your conventional telescope, this new Vaonis Vespera has no eyepiece! Instead, you connect the smart telescope to your phone or tablet and it will stream a live feed of what the telescope is seeing right to your phone/tablet.

While this smart telescope is expensive (The Vaonis will set you back about $1,500) it is one of the most advanced we have seen on the market. Since it’s connected to your smartphone or tablet, you can select from the catalog of stars and planets, and the telescope will automatically adjust it’s focus to your selection.

Not to mention, this Vaonis Vespera Telescope was actually a Kickstarter campaign, and they have raised over $2.5M! We know that the Vaonis team has taken their backer’s feedback into consideration while producing their final version of Vespera. There are subtle features that really show how immaculate the Vespera is built. For example, the magnet charging dock can just snap onto your telescope anytime, it’s light and portable in terms of telescopes, has a 4 hour battery life, and you can have up to 5 people viewing at one time!
