61MP Full-Frame Cameras for Professional Deep-Sky Imaging
Powered by the Sony IMX455 full-frame CMOS sensor, SkyEye62AM Plus (Mono) and SkyEye62AC Plus (Color) deliver exceptional 61MP resolution, combining ultra-high detail capture with outstanding dynamic range and imaging performance for advanced astrophotography.
Featuring a large full-frame sensor with a 43.3mm diagonal, SkyEye62AM/AC Plus captures expansive views of nebulae, galaxies, and star fields while maximizing the imaging capability of compatible telescope systems.
With a native 9568 × 6380 pixel array and 3.76μm pixel size, the IMX455 provides an excellent balance between resolution and sensitivity, enabling astrophotographers to reveal intricate structures in galaxies, nebulae, and other deep-sky objects.
SkyEye62AC Plus delivers excellent color imaging performance with QE exceeding 80% and a 380–690nm spectral response range. SkyEye62AM Plus provides enhanced monochrome sensitivity with QE exceeding 91% and an extended 380–1100nm spectral response, making it ideal for LRGB and narrowband imaging with Ha, OIII, and SII filters.
Designed to cover a wide range of astrophotography needs, the SkyEye Plus Series offers both Full-Frame and APS-C cameras, giving imagers the flexibility to choose the sensor format that best matches their telescope, imaging targets, and workflow. From wide-field deep-sky imaging to high-resolution capture of faint celestial structures, SkyEye Plus combines advanced sensors, deep cooling, low read noise, and high dynamic range for consistently clean, detailed results. SkyEye Plus is specially engineered for:
Designed for experienced imagers, deep-sky enthusiasts, and remote observatory users who demand high sensitivity, low noise, excellent dynamic range, and reliable performance for demanding imaging projects.
Whether you're using a compact telescope with an APS-C image circle or a premium optical system designed for full-frame coverage, SkyEye Plus offers the sensor format to match your setup. Full-frame models maximize field of view and optical coverage, while APS-C models provide an excellent balance of resolution, sensitivity, and system compatibility.
Featuring an onboard 512MB DDR3 buffer, the SkyEye Plus series camera ensures stable USB 3.0 data transfer, preventing frame loss and transmission-induced amp-glow. The camera supports digital pixel binning from 1x1 to 8x8 (via stacking or averaging) and hardware pixel binning from 1x1 to 3x3 (via averaging). On-sensor hardware binning provides significantly faster readout speeds and processing efficiency than software binning.
The integrated 5-port USB hub (4*USB2.0, 1*USB3.0) allows direct connection of accessories such as filter wheels, guide cameras, and focusers, reducing cable clutter and simplifying setup.
The enlarged front window of the SkyEye Plus full-frame camera improves illumination across the sensor and enhances compatibility with fast optical systems and larger imaging circles.
The SkyEye Plus series (except SkyEye45AC) camera features a specialized zero amp-glow circuit design that maintains a clean, perfectly uniform sensor background across multi-minute long exposures, protecting the faintest details of delicate nebulae.
The SkyEye Plus series optical window features an integrated smart heating system that actively measures ambient temperature and humidity. It automatically applies precise heat to prevent condensation, keeping your optical path crystal clear without introducing disruptive thermal air currents.
The camera utilizes a high-performance two-stage Thermoelectric Cooling (TEC) system. By achieving a cooling from -35°C to -42°C below ambient*, the SkyEye Plus series camera cools the sensor deeply and consistently, delivering exceptionally quiet background noise levels for long-exposure imaging.
*Note: Cooling performance may vary by model. Please refer to the product manual for detailed specifications.
Featuring quantum efficiency exceeding 80% for the color version and over 91% for the monochrome version, the Sony IMX455 full-frame sensor delivers outstanding photon collection efficiency for high-resolution deep-sky imaging. With HCG mode achieving read noise as low as 0.89e⁻ (Color) and 0.90e⁻ (Mono), SkyEye62AM/AC Plus ensures excellent signal quality and cleaner long-exposure images. The LCG mode provides an impressive full well capacity of up to 107ke⁻ (Color) and 111ke⁻ (Mono), offering exceptional dynamic range to preserve both bright stellar cores and faint background structures.
Which Series Do You Need
The ATR series features versatile sensors ranging from 1/1.2” up to APS-C (e.g., ATR585, ATR2600) to offer a balanced mix of performance and flexibility, whereas the flagship SkyEye series incorporates full-frame (35mm) and large-format sensors (e.g., SkyEye62AM) to maximize light-gathering area and deliver expansive, uncropped fields of view.
Choose the acquisition workflow that matches your imaging goals
One-Shot Color (OSC) cameras streamline your workflow by capturing full-color images without a filter wheel, offering a fast and travel-friendly setup that is perfect for astrophotography beginners, mobile imagers, or anyone seeking high-quality results with minimal post-processing.
Monochrome (Mono) cameras, however, deliver superior photon efficiency and pixel-level sharpness by eliminating the light loss and resolution interpolation of a Bayer matrix. Mono imaging is tailored for dedicated deep-sky astrophotographers who demand maximum sensitivity, ultimate narrowband performance (Ha, OIII, SII), and full control over composite LRGB rendering under any sky condition.
The SkyEye62AM requires a regulated 12V 3A DC power supply for stable imaging and cooling performance.
Yes. The SkyEye62AM uses the Sony IMX455M full-frame monochrome CMOS sensor.
The monochrome sensor records incoming light without a Bayer color filter array, supporting high photon efficiency and detailed LRGB or narrowband imaging.
Use a telescope and corrector that can provide a flat image circle of approximately 44mm or larger so the full-frame sensor is properly illuminated.
For the imaging train, wide-clear-aperture M48 or M54 connections and large-format filters such as 2-inch or 50mm filters are recommended. Undersized adapters, filter wheels, or filters can restrict the light path and introduce vignetting near the frame edges.
The SkyEye62AM uses a two-stage Thermoelectric Cooling (TEC) system and can maintain a temperature differential of up to approximately 35°C below ambient temperature.
Actual cooling performance depends on ambient temperature, ventilation around the camera, the stability of the 12V 3A power supply, and the load from the optical-window heater. Keep the fan and airflow unobstructed for stable long-exposure operation.
The SkyEye62AM provides two backfocus configurations:
Use the selected configuration when calculating the total spacing for your corrector, filter wheel, off-axis guider, and other imaging-train components.
