PegasusAstro Eyepiece SmartEye (85494)

Pegasus Astro SmartEye Eyepiece

Experience the future of stargazing with the Pegasus Astro SmartEye. This smart eyepiece combines the feel of visual observing with modern sensor technology to deliver an exceptional experience. The built-in display lets you do more than simply look into the cosmos—you can feel immersed in it. Forget pale views and limited fields of view: SmartEye gathers light in a new way, so every glance can be filled with the brilliance of countless stars. Upgrade your observing and discover the universe in striking clarity.

Aperture, redefined

SmartEye enhances the view even through small telescopes, delivering vivid color images that go beyond traditional observation. The ultra-high-resolution display at the top of the eyepiece becomes a personal portal to the universe, creating a “floating in space” impression. With improved image quality, SmartEye adapts smoothly to different observing conditions and can feel like you are looking through a much larger telescope, revealing new details with every session.

Easy to use

Thanks to a low-light-sensitive IMX sensor, SmartEye continuously collects photons and dynamically improves the view of celestial objects while you observe. The image shown in the eyepiece can also be viewed on a smartphone or tablet.
This electronic eyepiece is also a versatile astro camera that can capture and store raw astronomical data (FITS) for later processing on a computer. Switch effortlessly from live observing to capturing the objects you are viewing. Enjoy a user-friendly experience that helps astronomers of all skill levels—from beginners to experts—explore the night sky with confidence.

Supported by SkySafari

Connect SmartEye to the SkySafari app to unlock additional features, advanced settings, and a wealth of information about the universe. Whether you want to locate objects, control your telescope, record observations, or share views with others, SmartEye and SkySafari work together as your guide to the cosmos.

Effective even with smaller telescopes

SmartEye can elevate the visual experience by turning even compact telescopes into powerful observing tools. Using its light sensor, it reveals vivid details in distant galaxies and nebulae that may be difficult or impossible to see with smaller instruments. This approach pushes the limits of what observers can explore, offering impressive clarity and detail.

Works under light-polluted skies

Even in bright urban environments, SmartEye helps your telescope overcome the glow of city lights. With its specialized sensor and integrated display, it captures high-resolution imagery and delivers real-time views of distant objects that might otherwise remain hidden. Its versatility and ease of use also make it simple to share your discoveries with others.

Observation made simple

Say goodbye to complicated setup routines. Insert SmartEye into the focuser and your telescope can begin delivering breathtaking views with an intuitive, streamlined workflow.

Seamless switching with a conventional eyepiece

SmartEye bridges modern electronically assisted astronomy and traditional eyepiece observing. It fits into your telescope focuser like a standard optical eyepiece, giving you the flexibility to switch between SmartEye and conventional eyepieces. For advanced users, it also functions as an astro camera capable of longer exposures and storing raw astronomical data for later computer processing.

Designed for visual observers and astrophotographers

SmartEye is designed to preserve the essential connection between observer, telescope, and night sky—while adding the benefits of smart technology. It integrates naturally into a traditional eyepiece setup, letting users move between SmartEye and standard optical eyepieces as needed.
It also includes a night vision mode that darkens the screen and adds a red tint to help protect natural night vision.

What problems does SmartEye solve?

• Faint views through small telescopes: Many beginners find that small telescopes can produce dim, underwhelming images. SmartEye enhances the experience with brighter, sharper views that make observing immediately more exciting.

• Complexity of astrophotography equipment: Traditional imaging setups can be complicated and intimidating. SmartEye simplifies the process, making it easier to capture impressive views without extensive technical knowledge.

• Light pollution: City lights often obscure celestial objects and reduce image quality. SmartEye helps reduce the impact of light pollution so you can enjoy clearer views even in urban areas.

• Accessibility: With a simpler workflow and user-friendly features, SmartEye makes astronomy more approachable for everyone—from curious newcomers to experienced observers.

• “What am I seeing?”: When paired with SkySafari’s extensive celestial database, SmartEye helps eliminate guesswork during observations. Built-in sharing options also make it easy to share discoveries with friends and family.

• Enhanced live viewing: SmartEye can transform even a small telescope into a tool that shows vivid, detailed views of objects that are difficult to observe with conventional eyepieces. Experience live stacking technology that lets you capture and view celestial objects in real time.
