In this video I test and review the Vespera II X Edition smart telescope from Vaonis from my light-polluted balcony in Utrecht. I take it outside and capture real images of the Sun, the Moon, the Andromeda Galaxy, the Pleiades, and the Orion Nebula to see how well it performs on both solar and deep-sky objects. I walk through the user experience, setup, portability, and overall image quality. I also highlight what worked well for me and what could be improved. If you’re curious about smart telescopes and real-world results from a Bortle 7 city location, this video should help! Clear skies, Wido.
