Photo Comparison Vaonis Vespera Pro versus Vaonis Vespera

Introduction | Photos: Comparison of the Vaonis Vespera with the Vaonis Vespera | Links

On this page, I present photos of the same DSOs, which I took with my Vaonis Vespera Pro and my Vaonis Vespera*.

*) Note: In June 2024, I sold my Vaonis Vespera. I therefore cannot add further Vespera photos to this page.

Introduction

Please note that comparing the images of the two Vesperas is difficult because the sensors of both telescopes have very different image formats and pixel numbers:

Vaonis Vespera Pro: 3536 x 3536; mosaics up to double the side length
Vaonis Vespera: 1920 x 1080 (HD); mosaics up to double the side length

Also note that Vespera/Vespera Pro photos are typically a little bit smaller than the sensor format. Last, but not least, many of the photos are mosaics which can have arbitrary image formats.

After all, the photos are not always comparable because they are sections or the photos were taken with one of the telescopes with a filter.

Last, but not least, I also notice that the Vespera Pro photos have a yellow color cast compared to the Vespera photos, sometimes more noticeable and sometimes less noticeable. I may replace some of the Vespera Pro photos in the future with versions that are less yellowish...
