About this product
Achieve pinpoint tracking and reveal faint celestial targets with the Sky-Watcher SynEye 662M Monochrome Astrophotography Camera. Driven by Sony's high-sensitivity STARVIS 2 back-illuminated sensor, this compact imaging device delivers the low-noise performance and crisp definition required for precision autoguiding and real-time observation. Whether you are generating highly accurate mount pointing models or diving into live Electronically Assisted Astronomy, it integrates seamlessly into your imaging rig.
STARVIS 2 Tech

Precision Guiding
Dedicated ST-4 autoguider port
Fast USB Type-C
Reliable 12-bit RAW transfer
Versatile Fit
Dual M42 and 31.75 mm nosepiece
Exceptional Sensitivity for Low-Noise Guiding
At the core of the SynEye 662M lies the Sony IMX662 back-illuminated monochrome sensor, engineered with STARVIS 2 architecture. This design delivers outstanding quantum efficiency alongside minimal read noise, ensuring guide stars register with sharp contrast even during ultra-short exposures. The result is responsive, rock-steady closed-loop tracking that keeps your primary imaging telescope locked onto deep-sky targets through long exposures.
Designed for Observing and Sky Mapping
Beyond autoguiding duties, the camera excels at Electronically Assisted Astronomy (EAA), collecting detailed monochrome live stacks of faint nebulae and galaxies faster than visual observing permits. It also functions effectively for establishing complex pointing models, refining GoTo tracking accuracy across your mount for reliable target acquisition throughout the night.
Seamless Software and Rig Integration
Featuring ASCOM driver support, the SynEye 662M slots straight into popular capture, planetarium, and tracking software packages used by amateur astronomers. Physical mounting is just as straightforward: the combination of standard M42 threads and an included 31.75 mm (1.25 in) adapter lets you easily attach the unit to guide scopes, focusers, or off-axis guiders.
Direct Hardware Guiding Equipped with an integrated ST-4 style autoguiding port, the camera communicates corrective pulses directly to your telescope mount for rapid, reliable tracking corrections without software latency.
Key Features
Sony IMX662 Sensor – Features back-illuminated STARVIS 2 technology to maximise quantum efficiency while suppressing read noise.
2.07 Megapixel Resolution – Delivers a sharp 1920 x 1080 pixel array with 2.9 µm pixels for resolving subtle guide stars and fine lunar detail.
USB Type-C Connection – Provides rapid, modern data transmission to your host PC for smooth high-frame-rate capture.
12-Bit RAW Output – Preserves full tonal depth and dynamic range for accurate data processing in guiding and EAA stacking.
Removable IR/UV-Cut Filter – Offers optical flexibility, blocking unwanted wavelengths by default while allowing removal for specialised passbands.
Dual Mount Compatibility – Built with native M42 x 0.75 threading and a 31.75 mm (1.25 in) nosepiece for quick adaptation to any optical train.
ASCOM Compatibility – Ensures plug-and-play operation across SynScan workflows and leading third-party astro applications.
