Hestia by Vaonis: Turn your smartphone into a smart telescope

Visit Hestia from Vaonis is a revolutionary innovation that turns your smartphone into a veritable observing telescope. Thanks to its patented six-lens passive optical system, it lets you explore the Moon, the Sun and even the brightest objects in the deep sky, without electronics or batteries.
Hestia is an excellent option for following the total solar eclipse in 2026. Don't forget to get your equipment in advance - the closer we get to the date of this eclipse, the greater the strain on stocks!
