TL;DR: Explore the skies with Hestia, the first ever smartphone-based telescope, for $259.99, the best price on the web.


We turn to our smartphones for everything, so why not for exploring space?

The Hestia is the first ever smartphone-based telescope, letting you capture stunning views of the sun, moon, and beyond, day or night. And right now, you can get one for the best price online: just $259.99.

Your smartphone just became a space explorer

The Hestia is a Kickstarter- and Indiegogo-funded invention that pairs with your smartphone to let you explore the universe. Simply attach it to the included tripod and align your smartphone’s camera with the ocular using the Gravity app. Then pick your destination, and the app will help you find it.

Enjoy 5x sharpness and resolution, with crisp, detailed images of lunar craters and sunspots, and a massive 25x magnification that allows you to see the universe up close. The companion Gravity app even features a day and night mode, allowing you to check things out at any time of day.

The patented six-lens optical design directs light right into your smartphone’s camera. It’s all future-proof too, as it relies only on an optical design system, so you don’t have to worry about a battery or requiring power. The Hestia is waterproof and temperature-resistant, too, so you can explore in any weather.

Your Hestia comes with a premium tripod, a solar observation kit, a visor for reducing glare during daylight, and a transport case so you can take your explorations anywhere.
