Astronomy Imaging
Cameras Built for the Night Sky
From deep-sky DSO imaging with full-frame cooled sensors to high-frame-rate planetary cameras and precision guide cameras. Every photon counts.
SkyEye Series — Full-Frame DSO Cooled Cameras
Sony Exmor R/RS full-frame sensors with 61 MP or 24 MP resolution. Ultra-low read noise (sub-1 e⁻ in LCG mode), 16-bit ADC, two-stage TEC cooling to −35 °C below ambient, integrated window heating (4 levels) to prevent dew at low temperatures. Zero Amp-Glow. USB 3.0 interface. Available in mono (M) and color (C).

Two-Stage TEC
Precisely controllable cooling reduces thermal noise dramatically on long-exposure nebula and galaxy frames.
Dew Prevention
Glass window heating prevents condensation on the sensor window during cold-night sessions.
Zero Amp-Glow
Engineered to eliminate amp-glow artifacts that corrupt dark sky backgrounds. (SkyEye & ATR2600–ATR432).
512 MB Buffer
4 Gb DDR3 on-camera frame buffer for uninterrupted burst capture and streaming.
