Pegasus Astro announced their SmartEye eyepiece last year at the NEAF 2024 show in the USA. In an astronomy show packed with new technology, this new gizmo was a stand out.
Some of the crew from BINTEL were able to experience the SmartEye up close and we were might impressed by it.
Rather than being an entire system Smart Telescopes like the ZWO Seestar S50, Vaonis Vespera or DWARF 3, the SmartEye is used in place of a tradition eyepiece on a telescope.
The view through the SmartEye is of what the telescope is seeing, except automatically and quickly electronically enhanced. This means that the longer you view an astro object, more details and colours will be revealed in much the same way a traditional astrophotography system creates an image - except the Pegasus does this in real time as you look on.
This is a view through the SmartEye using a 85mm APO telescope that shows how the live view of an image gradually improves over just a minute or so as the eyepiece collects more details from this deep-space object. You'll notice how colours are also revealed - something not normally seen even in large telescopes using a standard eyepiece.
Also included is an inbuilt electronic cooler, to reduce electronic "noise" and this vastly improves image quality.
It has a swag of other functions including traditional astrophotography features and object assistance via Wi-Fi. This means the astrophotography feature of the SmartEye and live viewing can be handled on your phone or iPad/tablet.
We're quite excited by the SmartEye. We posted a another video of the view through a SmartEye of the Moon and it's also stunning! You can find it here.
This an ideal way to upgrade a serious telescope and likely to breath new life into larger ones like Dobsonians.
These new SmartEye eyepieces are due to be sent to BINTEL in April 2024. Given the interest from around the world, there's unsurprisingly only a limited number available and you can reserve yours by visiting this link.
