Hazy sky tonight? Capturing the moon piercing through the clouds is beautiful too!

Before becoming Space colonels, we all start as young star cadets. Hestia is the best first instrument for beginners or curious people that would love to discover and understand more about what lies above us. Hestia and your smartphone combined form a portal that didn’t exist before, to help you cross the Universe and witness some of the brightest Galaxies, Nebulae, and Star Clusters and begin your Space journey.

Hestia is everything but complex. Attach Hestia to its tripod and align your smartphone’s main camera with Hestia’s ocular with the help of Gravity by Vaonis. Pick your destination and let the app guide you to find it.

And voilà! You are ready to go and enjoy the beauties of the Cosmos.

With its patented six-lens optical design featuring a 30 mm (1.2 inch) objective and prisms to collect and focus the light directly into your smartphone’s camera sensor, Hestia pushes back the limits of miniaturization.

Thanks to a system of removable magnets, Hestia accommodates all sizes of current and future smartphones. Hestia will only get better and better over time.

But there’s more. Using no power source except your smartphone’s, Hestia has been designed to stand the test of time and last forever.​

Our new app is designed to assist you on your space adventures, Day and Night, guide you to the stars with ease, and bring you exciting content. So, buckle up, get cozy, and dive into the cosmos.

Gravity by Vaonis integrates a whole educational journey to allow you to discover more about our Universe at your own pace. From the beginner in astronomy who wishes to understand the formation of lunar craters to the enthusiast who wishes to follow the evolution of solar data daily, our application will help you learn more about our cosmic environment.

Lost in Space? Don’t worry, we’ve got it covered. Gravity by Vaonis integrates an interactive sky map to help you find your way in the Universe. Explore the constellations, learn to recognize the sky around you, and find an object that piques your interest. Whether you select a star cluster, a galaxy, or a nebula, our skymap guides you to your target with precision. Just put your smartphone on Hestia, follow the lights to correctly align your telescope, and be ready to capture what’s invisible to the naked eye.

Make what’s invisible to our eyes visible with Hestia’s image live stacking technology. Pick your target and let Gravity by Vaonis do the magic. Hestia’s companion app enhances your observation using our proprietary image processing algorithms to combine and align multiple short-exposure images captured by your smartphone into a single high-quality photograph.

Get notified about the weather conditions to go out and explore the night sky. Take advantage of all celestial events and opportunities for stargazing.
