Simply place your smartphone on Hestia’s eyepiece, point it at your chosen celestial object, and let the intuitive app guide you. Hestia is designed for any place and any moment, so you can enjoy the sky’s wonders whenever you wish. Discover constellations, learn about the night sky, and find objects that spark your curiosity.

Simple and precise operation:
Hestia makes it easy to reach your target. Place your smartphone on Hestia, follow the light indicator for accurate alignment, and you are ready to observe. Set Hestia on its tripod, align your smartphone’s main camera with the eyepiece using the Gravity by Vaonis app, select your target, and let the app guide you.

Innovative optical design:
