TOUPTEK SKYEYE 45AC PLUS CAMERA [COLOUR]

The ToupTek SkyEye 45AC PLUS IMX 366C Colour is a cooled astronomy camera using the Sony IMX366 full-frame 14-bit back-illuminated CMOS sensor. With a quantum efficiency of >80%, read noise as low as 0.88e- and 4.4µm pixels, the SkyEye 45AC is a highly capable deep sky camera for medium-long focal length telescopes.

The SkyEye Plus series is the flagship upgrade of the classic SkyEye lineup, featuring major improvements in electronics, sensor window design, cooling and mechanics. Available in full-frame and APS-C, it delivers a more stable and powerful deep-sky imaging experience.

The camera features 4.4µm pixels and a resolution of 44.7MP. The large full-well capacity of 73ke- means you can capture faint targets without overexposing stars. The SkyEye 45AC is equipped with 5Gbps USB 3.0 connectivity and 512MB of DDR3 memory resulting in fast transfer speeds and reliability. 

The ToupTek SkyEye 45AC has zero amp glow, even at high gain and over long exposure times. The below image shows two 5-minute exposures at 20°C with different cameras. The ToupTek image on the right shows no visible amp-glow. Combined with its low dark current and powerful TEC cooling to -35 to -40 °C below ambient, the camera is capable of teasing out fine details of faint nebulae.

The SkyEye 45AC features a built-in dew heater around the protective window with 4 levels of adjustable heating power. The camera includes an integrated four port USB 2.0 hub, allowing you to connect guide cameras, electronic focusers, filter wheels and other accessories.

The full-frame models feature a larger 43 x 31mm sensor window which is 26% larger than the previous generation, reducing vignetting with fast optical systems.
