On this page, I present photos of the same DSOs, which I took with my Vaonis Vespera Pro and my Vaonis Vespera*. This page presents objects from the Messier catalogue.
Notes:
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:
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...
