Starlight Xpress Camera Oculus PRO All Sky 180° Color Daytime (88031)

The Oculus PRO Colour Daytime All-Sky Camera is engineered to deliver high-quality sky images for weather monitoring and atmospheric observation. It provides complete horizon-to-horizon coverage, making it ideal for continuous daytime sky surveillance.

At its core is the highly sensitive 1.4 megapixel Ultrastar PRO Colour sensor. The camera is equipped with a 1.55 mm f/2 180-degree fisheye lens, along with integrated IR and ND filters, ensuring clear and detailed daytime imaging across the entire sky.

The PRO version features built-in dew detection. The internal dew heater activates only when necessary, preventing unnecessary heating during low humidity conditions. This selective operation helps maintain a higher signal-to-noise ratio for improved image quality.
