[Vespera range] How does the instrument handle parking / initialization?

Our instruments automatically initialize in under 5 minutes.

  1. GPS and Time Synchronization
     The instrument retrieves the GPS position, date, and observation time from the user’s smartphone or tablet.

  2. Sky Scanning
     The device then scans the sky. If the sky is sufficiently dark and clear, it detects stars, captures an image, and performs star field recognition. This process involves analyzing the relative positions of the stars and comparing them with its internal database to determine its orientation. This final step is called astrometry.

  3. Obstacle Handling
     If the instrument encounters an obstacle during its analysis (e.g., a wall, tree, or building), it will continue scanning other parts of the sky until it completes a full 360° rotation.

  4. Focus Adjustment
     Finally, the instrument adjusts its focus by capturing an image of the sky and finding the focus position where the stars appear sharpest.
