• IMX533 Color Camera

  The SmartEye's IMX533 CMOS sensor delivers exceptional image quality with a 3008 x 3008 resolution, providing approximately 9 megapixels. Its high dynamic range preserves subtle brightness variations, accurately capturing both faint and bright celestial objects. Advanced noise reduction technology further enhances image clarity by minimizing background interference.

• Thermoelectric Cooling (TEC)

  SmartEye features a powerful thermoelectric cooling system that can lower the sensor temperature by up to 25°C below ambient. This cooling significantly reduces sensor noise during long exposures, resulting in cleaner, sharper views with enhanced detail.

• Auto Image Enhancement

  SmartEye’s advanced auto-stacking feature improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and optimizes color calibration, allowing deep-sky objects to appear in vibrant detail. This technology makes it possible to view objects in rich color that would otherwise be difficult to detect through a standard small telescope.

• Integrated ST-4 Autoguiding Port

  Equipped with an ST-4 guide port, SmartEye connects directly to your mount, enabling precise control and smooth guiding during long-exposure astrophotography. This ensures accurate tracking, keeping your telescope aligned with celestial objects for clear, high-quality images.

• Dual Role Functionality

  SmartEye can function as a digital standalone eyepiece or as a cooled astronomical camera (ASCOM Alpaca). It supports the capture of FIT files with customizable exposure and gain settings, allowing users to tailor astrophotography sessions to their preferences.

• One-Cable Operation (USB-C)

  SmartEye supports one-cable operation via USB-C, powering both the device and its TEC cooling system. With up to 3A of power, this single connection simplifies your setup while maintaining efficient cooling and optimal performance for extended viewing sessions.

• Wide 90° Field of View

  SmartEye’s Ultra High Definition display offers a resolution of 2560×2560, providing sharp, detailed visuals of celestial objects. Its expansive 90° field of view enhances observation, while a diopter adjustment range of +1D to -5D accommodates various visual needs. The 12mm eye relief ensures comfortable viewing for prolonged sessions.

• Accelerometer and Gyroscope

  SmartEye includes an integrated accelerometer and gyroscope. These sensors will detect vibrations and automatically exclude affected images from the stack, ensuring only the best-quality data is used. Future updates may leverage these sensors to aid in locating objects.

• SD Card Slot

  SmartEye includes a micro SD card slot, allowing users to store individual images in FIT format directly to their own SD cards, providing flexibility and ease in managing image storage.

• ASCOM Alpaca Support

  The SmartEye device supports ASCOM Alpaca Camera integration, offering seamless compatibility with popular astronomy software like N.I.N.A. for more comprehensive control and imaging capabilities.

• SkySafari App Integration

  With SkySafari integration, users can share their live view from SmartEye directly to the app or via a web link with friends. Manage, share, and edit images, adjust SmartEye’s settings, monitor its status, and access detailed information about observed celestial objects, all from within the app.

• Firmware Upgrades

  SmartEye supports easy firmware and core software updates, allowing users to stay current with new features and bug fixes, ensuring peak performance and the latest improvements for the device.
