Pegasus Astro Smart Eye – the new electronic eyepiece!

February 27 2026, Jan Ströher

Now available: The SmartEye from PegasusAstro

What is the “SmartEye” actually?
It is the first smart eyepiece with technology similar to that of smart telescopes – except that you can use any of your existing telescopes with this eyepiece. It is therefore universally applicable and can be used in Newtonian telescopes, refractors, Schmidt-Cassegrains and Maksutovs, provided that a 2” focuser is available on the devices. In contrast to conventional eyepieces, the SmartEye has a built-in camera sensor, namely the Sony IMX533 Color, which you already know from the ZWO ASI 533MC Pro camera. As a result, color images of nebulae, galaxies and star clusters are created before your eyes, just like with a smart telescope. These can then also be saved, so that you get instant astrophotos at the same time as the live observation is happening.

By using the SmartEye on any telescope different magnifications and fields of view can be realized. The built-in Sony camera chip is an ideal sensor for dim DeepSky objects. It has a high resolution thanks to its 3.76 µm pixels and shows a high sensitivity (QE approx. 80%). With a 90° field of view, the SmartEye itself also offers a wide-angle viewing experience.
