For additional technical information, please refer to the SmartEye Technical Schematic Key Features: IMX533 Color Camera The SmartEye's IMX533 CMOS sensor provides great image quality with a resolution of 3008 x 3008 (about 9 megapixels). It captures both faint and bright celestial objects accurately. Advanced noise reduction makes images clearer by minimizing background interference. Thermoelectric Cooling (TEC) SmartEye has a cooling system that can lower the sensor temperature by up to 30°C below ambient. This cooling reduces sensor noise during long exposures, resulting in cleaner and sharper views. Auto Image Enhancement The auto-stacking feature improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and optimizes color, making deep-sky objects appear in vibrant detail. It allows you to view objects in rich color that would be hard to detect with a standard small telescope. Integrated ST-4 Autoguiding Port SmartEye has an ST-4 guide port to connect directly to your mount for precise control and smooth guiding during long-exposure astrophotography. This ensures accurate tracking for clear, high-quality images. Dual Role Functionality SmartEye can be used 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 for personalized astrophotography sessions. One-Cable Operation (USB-C) SmartEye uses a single USB-C cable to power both the device and its cooling system. This simplifies your setup while maintaining efficient cooling and optimal performance. Wide 90° Field of View The Ultra High Definition display offers a resolution of 2560×2560, providing sharp and detailed visuals. It has a wide 90° field of view and an adjustable diopter range for comfortable viewing. The 12mm eye relief ensures prolonged comfort during viewing sessions.
