Designed for visual observers and astrophotographers

Designed for both visual observers and astrophotographers, SmartEye bridges the gap in the age of smart telescopes by maintaining the important connection between observer, your telescope of choice and the night sky.

SmartEye is therefore designed to enhance visual observation, not replace it. It integrates seamlessly with traditional optical eyepieces and gives users the freedom to effortlessly switch between SmartEye and their regular optical eyepieces. For example, you can use SmartEye to pinpoint the position of a dimly glowing celestial object and then quickly switch to your traditional eyepiece to capture the photons with your own eyes.

In addition, SmartEye offers a “Night Vision” mode that dims the screen and creates a red tint to protect your natural night vision. Alternatively, users can also view the image on their phone or tablet screen by applying night vision settings or using red cellophane wrap to further protect their night vision.
