Design.
Male name.
A plan or scheme conceived in the mind of something to be done; the preliminary
conception of an idea that is to be carried into effect by action…
Intelligence.
Feminine name.
The faculty of understanding, assimilating and adapting easily.
Vaonis stemmed from a powerful ambition to revolutionize the practice of Astronomy
and shake up its codes. To achieve this, we had to follow unexplored pathways.
Shape and form define usage. All our products are developed with the
utmost attention to detail, reflected in finely drawn lines. The choice of
components is intimately linked to their silhouette and function. The result is an
iconic design where purity has a purpose – that of elegance serving an unforgettable
experience.
Body and Heart are now ready to play in harmony. All that is needed is a guiding
Soul, a conductor to spirit the cosmic symphony to life.
Reveal the invisible.
Five years of research and development have enabled us to design the most
advanced autonomous image processing system in the world.
Our onboard software performs millions of operations per second to reveal
the smallest details and capture the tiniest particle of light.
Capable of adapting in real-time, it analyses the images to remove any
artifacts.
Just contemplate an end result of exceptional finesse.
Master the power and explore the universe at your fingertips using our
application.
We have designed an intuitive app that will take you to the far reaches of
the cosmos with utmost ease.
