After more than a year and a half of waiting our Vespera that we pre-ordered is finally here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All my life I have always been fascinated with the Cosmos, even though I have never yearned to be an astronaut or to work for Nasa. Just knowing that the universe was so large that it could not be measured has always awed me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My junior year in high school was special because for one time only my school offered an elective to take Astronomy and I quickly jumped on it. Learning astronomy was a lot harder than I expected but was still so much fun to learn. As a kid, my brother would have a telescope from time to time but it was never a high-end telescope so viewing through it was always limited and troublesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My fascination never waned and I loved watching documentaries about space, after I met my husband it was one of the many things that we found we had in common. We both grew up watching Carl Sagan and later Neal Degrasse Tyson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had always wanted a high-end telescope and system for astrophotography but was always intimidated by those telescopes. In 2020 a company called Vaonis launched a Kickstarter for a telescope that not only took all the guesswork out of owning a telescope and to add the icing on the cake it was also a camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately at the time the Kickstarter launched, we did not have the funds to invest but thankfully in early 2021 they opened pre-orders on their site and by then I had the opportunity to place an order. I knew we would be waiting for at least a year and we ended up waiting a year and eight months. In the end, our patience was rewarded, we received the telescope just in time for the fall weather to start and a couple of upcoming trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last night we briefly set it up in the backyard and did a quick viewing of the moon and through the app that it works with was able to snag an amazing picture of the moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
