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.


The SkyEye2 Capture software has been tested and runs well on Window7 and Windows 10 (32 bit or 64 bit).

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.


Amount of free hard drive space needed will vary depending on user's settings.

The bare minimum of free hard drive space is approximately 3 gigabytes.
