Really interesting eyepiece. I am strictly a casual observer. My thinking is that astronomy photography equipment can do the same thing for far less. I could be wrong.
I've been looking into the this device myself. It's very interesting. Could be effective for those of us who live in light polluted skies. It's asking price is a real barrier to entry however. Especially if you have a Seestar S50 or Dwarf that auto stack images and present to a screen already.
I suppose its real value is that you can move it to any telescope you want - that it can come to focus in. With a Seestar s50 your locked in at 50mm of aperture. The SmartEye can be attached to 25 Inch scope with goto if you have one. The FOV would be small though.
Yeah, this is a tough one. There is a lot of convenience, and the IMX533 is pretty good sensor. I reckon it would go alright in my 8" f4.
$2500 +++ AUD ordered from the USA, but $3300 from Bintel - someone's making a very tidy profit. Looks like a potentially amazing little gadget, but surely your go-to would need to be spot-on or you'd get star trails and blurred images if it's stacking every 10 seconds? Would love to try one out.
From the little information I can find on this device am I understanding it correctly? So there is a screen inside the eyepiece like a single virtual reality screen for one eye? As it stacks images the detail gets bigger?
So a dob on an equatorial platform will still probably not be accurate enough for it to not blur I'm thinking.
