Compatibility
Which Vespera models do your accessories fit?
Our accessories fit the Vaonis Vespera, Vespera II (Vespera 2), Vespera Pro, Vespera Pro 2 and Vespera Passenger. Each product page lists its exact compatibility.
Will the Vespera detect the filter automatically?
Yes. Our filter adapters include the electronics the Vespera needs to recognise the filter, so the app treats it like an official Vaonis filter.
Are you affiliated with Vaonis?
No. Vespera Accessories is an independent maker. Vaonis and Vespera are trademarks of Vaonis.
Filters
Does the adapter come with the filter?
No. The adapter holds any standard 2-inch filter. The filter itself can be purchased from other outlets. We recommend the Svbony SV220 (2") for Dual Band, and any standard 2-inch CLS filter (for example, Svbony or Optolong) for CLS.
Which filter should I choose: Dual Band or CLS?
Dual Band (DB) is best for emission nebulae, even under heavy light pollution. CLS is better for galaxies and star clusters from suburban skies. Read our full Dual Band vs CLS vs Solar guide.
Is the solar filter safe for viewing the sun?
Our solar filter uses ISO-certified solar film and is made for imaging the sun and eclipses with the Vespera. Always attach it before pointing at the sun and never look at the sun directly. See our solar eclipse guide.

What are your accessories made of?

Do I need a dew shield or a dew heater?
It depends on your conditions. Our dew heater vs dew shield guide explains when each one helps.
