If you’ve ever tilted your head to the night sky and thought, I wish I could see more, this one’s for you. The Hestia is the first ever smartphone-based telescope, is on sale for $259.99 (MSRP $299), and it will change the way you stargaze.





This CES 2024 Innovation Award-winning device turns your smartphone into a fully functional telescope, delivering 5X sharper images and 25X magnification without needing a battery.





Using the Gravity app by Vaonis, just align your phone, pick your cosmic destination, and let the app guide you. Whether you’re gazing at lunar craters, tracking sunspots, or scanning the brightest deep-sky objects, Hestia makes it intuitive and stunningly clear.





It’s not just for night owls—Day Mode lets you observe the Sun safely with the included solar observation kit, while Scenery Mode brings your surroundings into crisp focus. Additionally, the premium tripod, visor, and transport case (plus filter and pointer) make it well-equipped for adventure.





Lightweight, future-proof, and built to last, Hestia is the kind of gadget that turns casual stargazers into cosmic explorers—no complicated setup, no bulky equipment, just the wonder of the sky.





Get the Hestia Ultimate Pack for just $259.99 (MSRP $299) with free shipping while you can.
