System requirements

The SkyEye2 camera features a high speed 6.3 megapixel CMOS imaging sensor. Due to the relatively high pixel count and the multi-threaded SkyEye2 capture software, a modern PC with an i3 (or equivalent) or better processor that supports USB 3.1 (also known as USB 3.0 SS) is necessary to run the system.

It is important to note that the camera must use the USB cable that Interactive Astronomy supplies with the camera. Usage of other USB cables may cause the system to malfunction.
