ToupTek SkyEye Series Astronomy Cameras!
The ToupTek SkyEye64AM is a professional deep sky astrophotography camera featuring Sony IMX455 full-frame monochrome CMOS sensor with 61-megapixel ultra-high resolution, precise temperature control, ultra-low read noise, and zero amp-glow characteristics, delivering exceptional performance for deep sky object imaging. The SkyEye62AM features a full-frame image sensor, precise temperature control, ultra-low read noise, and zero amp-glow characteristics, making it ideal for deep sky object photography. Its exceptional performance and versatile applications provide users with an extraordinary astrophotography experience.
Please note: all ToupTek Astro DSO cooled cameras can only be powered by 12V3A DC power supply. We recommend using the power adapter that comes with the camera or a lithium-ion battery with stable output of 11-14V. Please do not use power supplies that have falsely stated specifications or unstable outputs to power the camera, as this may affect image capture or even damage the camera.
Sensor Specifications
SkyEye62AM features the Sony IMX455 monochrome sensor with 61-megapixel ultra-high resolution (9568×6380) and a full-frame size of 35.976mm × 23.989mm. The 3.76μm pixel size ensures excellent light gathering capability while maintaining high resolution. The full-frame sensor guarantees an extremely large field of view, making it the ideal choice for capturing large nebulae, galaxies, and wide-field deep sky objects.
Fast DDR3 & Pixel Binning Technology
SkyEye62AM features 512MB (4Gb) DDR3 cache, helping maintain data transmission stability and effectively reducing amp-glow phenomena, as image data can be buffered without rushing to send data to the receiving end. SkyEye62AM supports digital pixel binning from 1 x 1 to 8 x 8 (stacking or averaging methods) and hardware pixel binning from 1 x 1 to 3 x 3 (averaging method). Hardware pixel binning is much more efficient than software pixel binning.
Zero Amp-Glow
SkyEye62AM is carefully designed to achieve zero amp-glow photography. It's easy to see that images captured by SkyEye62AM exhibit no amp-glow phenomena. SkyEye62AM's read noise is as low as 0.9 - 1.95 e⁻ (Low Noise Mode). This is impressive, as SkyEye62AM features a low noise mode, which means users can select low noise mode to achieve even lower read noise at the cost of reduced frame rate.
16-bit ADC and Flexible ROI
SkyEye62AM outputs native 16-bit ADC, providing 65,536 grayscale levels capable of capturing extremely fine brightness variations. This high bit depth is crucial for deep sky photography, enabling simultaneous recording of the bright core and faint outer details of nebulae. The camera supports hardware ROI, with smaller ROI sizes achieving higher frame rates.
Anti-dew technology
The camera front end is equipped with an intelligent anti-dew heating system that automatically monitors environmental humidity and temperature, activating heating when necessary to prevent optical window condensation.
TEC Cooling
Adopts two-stage semiconductor cooling chip series design, where the first stage directly cools the sensor and the second stage efficiently conducts heat to the heat dissipation system.
Sony IMX455 Spectral Response Curve
The SkyEye62AM sensor has a G sensitivity of 435.5mV at 1/30s. Its quantum efficiency peak exceeds 80% and maintains excellent response throughout the visible and near-infrared ranges. With an AR anti-reflection filter installed, its spectral response range is 380-1100nm. The sensor's high quantum efficiency ensures clear image capture even in low-light conditions, making it particularly suitable for photographing faint deep sky objects.
