TL;DR: Hestia uses your smartphone to capture sharp, magnified views of the Moon, Sun, deep-sky objects, and landscapes—now just $239.97 (MSRP $299) with free shipping.





Well, smartphones can officially do it all. The Hestia is the first ever smartphone-based telescope. And now that the Ultimate Pack is just $239.97 (MSRP $299) with free shipping, stargazing just got way more accessible—and a whole lot cooler.





Hestia is designed for curious beginners and seasoned sky-watchers alike. It uses your phone’s main camera along with Vaonis’ patented optical system to deliver 5x sharper images and 25x magnification. Lunar craters? Sunspots? Your first deep-sky object? Hestia says, “Let’s go.”





Setup is simple: mount it on the premium tripod, open the Gravity app, align your phone, pick your cosmic destination, and boom—instant universe access. No batteries, no cables, no fiddling. Just optics, your phone, and the sky.





And because it works day or night, Hestia becomes a year-round companion. Explore solar activity by day, follow the Moon’s phases at night, or switch to Scenery Mode when you want close-up terrestrial shots.





This Ultimate Pack sweetens the deal with a solar observation kit, a hardshell travel case, and a visor for daytime viewing.





Don’t miss grabbing the sky-gazing Hestia Unlimited Pack while it’s on sale for $239.97 (MSRP $299) with free shipping.
