I rate the Vaonis Team TEN STARS!!

The Vaonis team is very responsive and helpful. My Vespera telescope needed repair under warranty. I was given all instructions and documentation for returning the instrument to France (from the USA) at no cost to me. Vaonis is a quality organization that stands behind its products. The people there are dedicated to finding a solution to any problem and give excellent care to customers.

Request For A Product

I submitted a request for information on getting a stretchy dust cover for my second-hand Vespera, but was told the company did not sell these. It took nearly a week for a response, so I wouldn't call that timely but was glad to receive a response to my inquiry.

Vaonis Customer Service is Excellent

Your customer service is excellent. I purchased a Vespera Pro and subsequently returned it. In hindsight, I should have bought a Vespera 2. I may do that sometime in the future. I would suggest you have the option of saving images in (png) as those are better than JPEGs for those of us who won't be doing extensive post processing on a computer.

Vaonis Vespera Pro

I recently bought a Vaonis Vespera Pro and had a minor problem. The technical support team responded almost immediately to my email, answered my questions and sorted the issue. They could not have been more helpful.
I have been hugely impressed with the Vespera which has far exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for a fuss free way into astro imaging it is hard to beat.

Exemplary technical support.


From the beginning of the support request, the best support was given.
All problems encountered with the equipment and assistance after transportation were handled in the best possible way and very quickly.

Excellent Technical and Customer Support

I've had some technical issue with my Vespera II recently. Vaonis Customer Support gave me full help in solving the issue. Agnès Dailly, who is the competent support manager, gave me all the possible instructions in order to sort out the problem, even she asked to send the telescope to them in order to check and fix. I've sent the telescope (from Italy to France) at the beginning of August and received it back after 10 days, fully working. Everything was done at no cost due to the guaranty that still cover my Vespera II.
This was not the first time I've requested support from Vaonis, usually in order to have some operational instructions on using Vespera, sometime in order to suggest improvements. Always Ms. Dailly has responded immediately and effectively to all my emails.
I think that beside the good quality and reliability of the telescope (Vespera II is like this) what you whish from a provider is an excellent customer support, and Vaonis has it: intelligent approach!
For me this is a reason to consider Vaonis a top brand.

No product delivered and no customer service

I backed the Hestia via Kickstarter. It was funded one year ago. The status says shipped, I have received no notification of shipping details and have not received the product.

It's available in shops all over the world but not available to Kickstarter backers.

Vaonis do not reply to messages and have provided no updates since June 27. The updates that we did receive were complete lies. There are a lot of disgruntled backers who have not received the product. There is no customer service and no product. Pathetic.

Hello Ross,

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience. We want to clarify that we have successfully delivered Hestia to over 14,300 backers across both Indiegogo and Kickstarter. The remaining shipments are due to issues such as incorrect addresses or a lack of response from backers despite multiple follow-ups.

We encourage you to get in touch with our support team directly at support.vaonis.com so that we can assist you promptly and resolve this matter as quickly as possible. Please avoid using Kickstarter for communication as direct contact with our support team will allow us to curate your issue more efficiently.

Thank you for your patience, and we hope to resolve this for you soon.

Best regards,
The Vaonis Team

Vaonis has gone above!

Vaonis has gone above and beyond my expectations for their service regarding repairs on my telescope. When UPS lost my scope they quickly sent me a new replacement telescope. I have been very happy with how the issue was resolved. These little telescopes are fantastic!

Fantastic customer service

I recently had a fantastic customer service experience with the support team for my Vespera. From start to finish, they were prompt, responsive, and incredibly helpful. They replied to my initial inquiry quickly and addressed all my concerns with professionalism and expertise. Throughout the entire repair process, they kept me well-informed, providing regular updates and ensuring I was always in the loop. Their dedication to customer satisfaction was evident, and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. All under the promised warranty.

Vespera Pro delayed because of Solar Filter

I ordered Vespera Pro back when it was first released in 2023 with an announced ship date of May 2024. Because of a production problem of solar filters, my Vespera Pro was held up until the end of June. It was finally shipped without the filter thanks to an attentive Vaonis sales rep. I'm reducing the rating by one star because I still haven't received the Solar Filter yet a month later.

Terrible customer sercice

Also ordered a Hestia after backing the Vespera. Terrible updates from the seller. No apologies for the 7-month delay so far. Awful customer service. They made more than 8 million euros with this campaign, by doing two separate campaigns, and don't care about honouring their first backers.

We apologize for the delays you experienced with your Hestia order and for the communication issues you faced. As communicated in our Kickstarter campaign updates, some delays were beyond our control, but we have worked diligently to resolve them. We are glad to see that your Hestia has been delivered.

Thank you for your patience and support.
