Vaonis Atlas + Twin 80mm tubes

The Vaonis Atlas Twin is a modular smart telescope with two 80 mm imaging modules (optical tubes) that aim at the same object together. You choose a target on the live sky map in the app, and Atlas aims, tracks it and builds up the image in colour. All of this without an eyepiece and without settings. With two modules, you collect twice as much light, and Sky Twin stacks the images automatically for the same result in half the time.

What is Atlas?

Atlas is a smart telescope: optics, camera, motorised mount and automatic aiming are combined in one instrument that you control with your smartphone. The image of deep space builds up in colour on your screen, minute after minute, and shows details you can't see with the naked eye.

Your whole sky on your screen, with one tap on your target

The Sky Guard camera films your whole sky, from horizon to horizon, day and night, and shows the stars the way the naked eye sees them. You tap a galaxy, a nebula or the moon: Atlas aims at it, tracks it and builds up the image. The sky map is dynamic and interactive and adapts to your surroundings. This way, you get to know the constellations you see.

Two modules, twice as much light

In the Twin version, two imaging modules aim at the same object and collect twice as much light at any moment. Sky Twin combines the images from both modules automatically, without you having to set anything. You get the same image in half the time, and that makes a big difference with faint galaxies and nebulae, or when the night is short.

Sharp optics and a sensor for the night

Each 80 mm module is an apochromatic refractor with four lenses, without a mirror. The sharpness reaches the physical limit from the centre to the edges of the image. The sensor is a back-illuminated Sony IMX585 (8.3 MP, 2.9 µm pixels, up to 32 MP in mosaic mode), made for faint signals. The result is sharp stars and true colours, in the city and in the countryside.

With the Vaonis Atlas Twin, you capture deep space in half the time, with sharp stars and true colours.
