SkyEye62AM Plus: Stronger Cooling & Wider Compatibility!
The ToupTek SkyEye26AM Plus brings high-sensitivity monochrome performance to advanced deep-sky imaging. Powered by the Sony IMX455 back-illuminated Full-Frame sensor, it delivers 61 MP resolution, fine 3.76 µm pixels, and 16-bit imaging for exceptional detail and dynamic range. With >91% peak QE, ultra-low read noise, zero amp-glow, advanced two-stage TEC cooling, and a 512 MB DDR3 buffer, the SkyEye26AM Plus is built for clean, detailed LRGB and narrowband imaging.
Core Highlights of the SkyEye Plus
Shorter Back Focus
Every model uses an M54x0.75 female thread and includes a full-size M54 extension tube and adapter ring for a standard 55mm optical train. Removing the front adapters reduces the camera back focus to 12.5mm or 8.5mm for greater compatibility with optical systems and accessories.
Large Field of View
The Sony IMX455 back-illuminated Full-Frame mono sensor combines 61 MP resolution with >91% peak QE for excellent sensitivity and fine detail. Without a Bayer color filter array, each pixel captures incoming light directly, making it especially effective for LRGB and narrowband imaging.
Reduced Vignetting
The SkyEye Plus features an enlarged 43 x 31 mm sensor window, providing 26% more area to help reduce edge vignetting with fast optical systems. Color models include an IR-cut window for cleaner, more accurate color imaging.
Expanded Connectivity & Reinforced Power
The integrated 5-port USB hub (4x USB 2.0, 1xUSB 3.0) allows direct connection of accessories such as filter wheels, guide cameras, and focusers, reducing cable clutter and simplifying setup.
The optimized power system maintains stable camera operation during continuous cooling and high accessory loads throughout an imaging session.
- Note: The SkyEye Plus camera body can operate from a 12V/3A supply. A DC 12V/5A supply is strongly recommended when using the USB hub. USB 3.0 is used only for high-speed data transfer and does not power the camera or connected accessories.
Built-in Sensor Tilt Adjustment & Convenient Calibration
The SkyEye Plus body includes three sets of precision adjustment screws, allowing the sensor plane to be aligned with the telescope focal plane without an additional accessory for more uniform stars across the field.
- Note: Avoid large adjustments. Loosen the opposing screw before turning any adjustment screw. For example, loosen the matching push screw counterclockwise before tightening a pull screw clockwise; otherwise, the mechanism may be damaged.
- The series also supports the SkyEye rear four-point sensor tilt ring. The replacement does not consume additional optical length and retains the standard 12.5mm/17.5mm back focus.
High-Speed Buffer, Stable Transfer
SkyEye62AM Plus supports USB 3.0 transmission and has a built-in DDR3 512MB cache to ensure reliable data transmission. At the same time, the cache can also greatly avoid the glow phenomenon caused by slow transmission speed, ensuring smooth shooting.
Powerful Cooling and Lower Dark Current
SkyEye62AM Plus adopts a newly upgraded TEC and active cooling system, combined with PID precise temperature control algorithm, which makes the temperature control more uniform. At the same time, the cooling temperature difference further breaks through to about 40°C, effectively suppressing thermal noise and dark current. When shooting all night long, the long exposure dark field is pure and transparent, and higher quality images can be obtained after calibration.
Zero Amp-Glow for Cleaner Long Exposures
SkyEye62AM Plus uses Sony's back-illuminated non-glow CMOS sensor, which effectively avoids the common glow problem of traditional front-illuminated sensors and maintains a uniform and clean background signal under high gain and long exposure conditions. Calibration is easier and post-processing is more efficient.
Anti-Dew Heating
The sealed, dry sensor chamber helps prevent condensation on the CMOS sensor and the inner surface of the optical window during cooling. An integrated window heater provides four adjustable power levels to keep the optical path clear in humid conditions and across large temperature changes.

Performance Analysis Charts
The SkyEye62AM Plus gives you greater control over image quality with three selectable gain modes, allowing you to optimize performance for everything from bright targets to faint deep-sky objects.
-
High Dynamic Range: SkyEye62AM Plus is equipped with 16bit ADC, while retaining light and dark details, avoiding overexposure of bright parts or loss of details in dark parts, and making the levels more delicate.
-
High Full Well Capacity: In LCG mode, the SkyEye62AM Plus full well can reach 111ke-, effectively preventing overexposure when shooting high-light ratio targets and retaining details in the highlight area.
-
High Quantum Efficiency: The peak quantum efficiency of SkyEye62AM Plus is >91%, the spectral response is wider, the light sensitivity is more sensitive, and the ability to capture weak light signals is greatly improved. High quantum efficiency ensures clear images are captured even in low-light conditions, making it particularly suitable for photographing faint deep-sky objects.
-
The sensor G sensitivity of SkyEye62AM Plus is 435.5mV, 1/30s. Equipped with an AR anti-reflection filter, its spectral response range is 380–1100nm, maintaining excellent response capabilities in both the visible and near-infrared ranges.
-
HCG Mode: Reduces read noise for capturing faint targets, reaching as low as 0.9e⁻ read noise at maximum gain.
-
LCG Mode: Expands full-well capacity to help prevent overexposure and preserve detail in brighter targets.
-
Low Noise Mode: Reduces frame rate for lower read noise while maintaining high dynamic range and natural brightness and color.
