Description
ToupTek SkyEye62AC Color Astronomy Camera – Key Features
Full-Frame Sony IMX455 Color CMOS Sensor
- Offers a high-resolution 61 megapixels (9568 × 6380) with 3.76 μm square pixels, delivering very fine detail in deep-sky imaging.
- Full-frame optical format ensures compatibility with large telescope fields.
16-bit High-Precision ADC
- Native 16-bit analog-to-digital conversion for superior dynamic range and image fidelity.
Ultra-Low Read Noise & Zero Amp-Glow
- Read noise as low as 0.89 e⁻ (in Low Noise Mode), enabling clean, low-noise captures.
- Zero amp-glow design eliminates unwanted sensor glow during long exposures.
Dual Gain Modes & Low Noise Mode
- Switchable between HCG (High Conversion Gain) and LCG (Low Conversion Gain) for either broad dynamic range or higher sensitivity.
- A special “Low Noise Mode” further reduces noise and maximizes image clarity.
High Quantum Efficiency (QE)
- Peak quantum efficiency exceeding 80%, meaning more light is captured per photon—ideal for faint deep-sky targets.
Powerful Cooling System
- Two-stage Thermoelectric Cooling (TEC) keeping the sensor below approximately 35 °C, which helps reduce thermal noise and ensures consistent imaging performance.
Anti-Condensation Protection
- Built-in IR-cut (UV/IR blocking) protective window with heated anti-dew function featuring adjustable levels to prevent condensation during use.
Built-In Buffer Memory
- 512 MB DDR3 buffer ensures stable, lag-free data transfer—important for high-resolution, long-exposure imaging.
Fast Readout & Frame Rates
- USB 3.0 interface supports 5 Gbps data transfer. Frame rates include:
- USB 3.0 / 16-bit: up to 3.1 FPS at full resolution
- USB 3.0 / 8-bit: 6.2 FPS at full resolution (6.2 FPS applies to both modes)
- Lower resolutions yield much higher FPS (e.g., up to 55 FPS at 3184 × 2124 at 8-bit)
- USB 2.0 supports lower speeds (e.g., 0.4 FPS at full resolution).
Binning & ROI Support
- Digital binning (1×1 to 8×8) and hardware binning (1×1 to 3×3) for flexibility in light gathering and speed.
- Region of Interest (ROI) capability allows selecting specific portions of the sensor for faster frame rates.
Flexible Back Focus and Adjustment Design
- The front interface is redesigned for better accessory compatibility—removable adapters can reduce back focus to 12.5 mm or even 8 mm.
- Includes an M54 sensor adjustment ring allowing four-point sensor tilt adjustments.
Exceptional Image Quality & Reduced Banding
- Optimized circuitry minimizes horizontal banding in long exposures, especially when using HCG + Low Noise Mode at low frame rates.
Strong Signal-to-Noise Ratio & Dynamic Range
- Maximum SNR: 47.0 dB (Low Noise Mode)
- Dynamic Range: 85.8 dB (Low Noise Mode)
Comprehensive Compatibility & SDK Support
- Compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android platforms.
- Supports SDKs for C/C++, C#/VB.NET, Python, Java, as well as DirectShow and TWAIN interfaces.
Solid Build & Practical Design
- Compact and sturdy matte-black housing.
- Includes multiple USB ports on the rear panel for convenient cable management.
- Comes with power supply, varied adapters, and cables in the standard package.54
