ToupTek SkyEye 62AM / 62AC – Full-Frame IMX455 Cooled Astronomy Camera
The ToupTek SkyEye 62 series combines cutting-edge Sony IMX455 full-frame CMOS technology with ultra-stable cooling, exceptionally low noise performance and true zero amp-glow architecture. These cameras deliver outstanding image quality and are widely used in professional astrophotography, research, scientific imaging and industrial applications. Available in both 62AM (monochrome) and 62AC (colour) versions.
Overview
At the heart of the SkyEye 62 series is Sony’s flagship 61-megapixel IMX455 full-frame sensor. With its 3.76µm pixels, exceptionally high sensitivity and large imaging area, the camera captures extraordinarily detailed deep-sky images with superb dynamic range. The integrated two-stage TEC cooling system provides up to −35 °C delta-T, ensuring clean data and stable performance even during long exposures up to 3600 seconds.
