What Singularity is

Singularity is Vaonis’s free mobile app for controlling Stellina, Vespera, and Hyperia telescopes. GPS helps locate the telescope, adjust focus, and prepare an observation in under five minutes. Users can select catalog objects or enter celestial coordinates for automatic pointing and tracking, while successive images are combined in real time to reveal more detail and color. CovalENS stitches images from the same stellar region into a wider view, and Solar Mode supports sunspot observing and photography with a Vaonis solar filter. Space Center combines weather forecasts, saved locations, telescope settings, astronomy news, and advice. Expert Mode offers coordinate pointing plus manual exposure and gain controls. Plan My Night schedules unattended sessions, with photos retrieved by USB for Stellina or Wi‑Fi FTP for Vespera. Photos can be stored on a device or Vaonis Cloud, and events added to a calendar. The app supports iOS 14 or later and Android 8–9 or later. An account and internet access are required, and most features need a connected Vaonis telescope.
