Interactive Astronomy SkyEye2 All-Sky Camera

 

Very good condition. Appears unused, minor scuffs on clear acrylic cover (easily polished out). No manual, software (if applicable) or other accessories. Unit is recognized and produces an image with a windows 11 computer but requires downloadable software to the host computer for complete functionality.

The SkyEye2 All-Sky Camera is the latest version of Interactive Astronomy’s all-sky camera that records high quality images and creates time-lapse videos of the night sky.

Exposure times are user adjustable from 1 second to 60 seconds or can be placed in automatic mode. Dark frame calibration is available for long period exposures. Resulting images can be saved and viewed as still frames or combined and rendered into video format and uploaded to the web with the included software.

The SkyEye2camera has a moderated field of view to minimize image distortion. The camera comes with a high quality, f/2.0 2.6mm, lens from Sunex. This lens produces a 180 x 120 degree field of view. This provides a field that nearly covers the entire chip from corner to corner. An adjustable lens shade also provides additional masking in the corners of the chip to block any stray lighting, if needed.
