The Vaonis Hestia is a small 30 mm refractor that turns your smartphone into the eyepiece and screen. It has no built-in camera or battery; you dock a phone over the lens and the free Singularity app identifies targets and stacks images. It weighs under two pounds and mounts on any 3/8"-16 tripod. It suits casual stargazers and phone photographers who want guided views of the Moon, Sun and bright planets without a full telescope setup. Compared with motorized smart scopes like the Vaonis Vespera or Unistellar eVscope, it is far simpler and lighter but shows much less detail and needs a steady tripod and dark skies.

Owners treat the Hestia as a fun, ultra-portable way to get phone photos of the Moon and Sun. Many praise the app's guidance and the light weight. Experienced users say the small aperture and lack of tracking cap what it can show.
