Atlas: Modular Smart Telescopes from Vaonis

October 16 2026, Stefan Taube

Vaonis Atlas

Ten years ago, Vaonis revolutionised astronomy with the launch of its smart telescopes. Feedback from amateur astronomers led to a crucial realisation: the mount, precision mechanics and electronics are designed to last for years. The optics and sensor, on the other hand, benefit from rapid technological advances and should therefore be replaceable.

This philosophy gave rise to Atlas – a modular smart telescope that will be available in two versions:

Swarovski Optik AT Endura: A gateway to the premium class

July 18 2026, Stefan Rieger

Swarovski AT Endura

In recent days, Swarovski Optik has unveiled a new spotting scope, the AT Endura 21-65×75. This model stands out due to its relatively low weight (1,510 grams) and a wider range of magnification (21–65x) than previous ATS or STS models. With a 75mm objective lens diameter, it strikes a balance between the 65mm and 80mm objective lens diameters. The eyepiece is fixed and cannot be swapped for previous models.

Nevertheless, this relatively affordable spotting scope is manufactured in Absam, Tyrol, and features high-quality HD optics. All this comes at a very fair recommended retail price of €2,490.

Deliveries will commence from 6 October 2026. Pre-order now and be among the first to receive one!

Pegasus Astro Smart Eye – the new electronic eyepiece!

February 27 2026, Jan Ströher

Now available: The SmartEye from PegasusAstro

What is the “SmartEye” actually?
It is the first smart eyepiece with technology similar to that of smart telescopes – except that you can use any of your existing telescopes with this eyepiece. It is therefore universally applicable and can be used in Newtonian telescopes, refractors, Schmidt-Cassegrains and Maksutovs, provided that a 2” focuser is available on the devices. In contrast to conventional eyepieces, the SmartEye has a built-in camera sensor, namely the Sony IMX533 Color, which you already know from the ZWO ASI 533MC Pro camera. As a result, color images of nebulae, galaxies and star clusters are created before your eyes, just like with a smart telescope. These can then also be saved, so that you get instant astrophotos at the same time as the live observation is happening.

By using the SmartEye on any telescope different magnifications and fields of view can be realized. The built-in Sony camera chip is an ideal sensor for dim DeepSky objects. It has a high resolution thanks to its 3.76 µm pixels and shows a high sensitivity (QE approx. 80%). With a 90° field of view, the SmartEye itself also offers a wide-angle viewing experience.
