  • ALL-SKY 2.1 KIT

    The ALL-SKY 2.1 KIT features a 2.1mm focal length lens specifically designed for continuous, wide-angle monitoring of the night sky. When paired with a 1/3" format sensor, this kit delivers an expansive 150° field of view, capable of capturing the majority of the celestial sphere in a single, unattended frame.

    A 150° Field of View for All-Sky Monitoring

    This kit's primary function is to provide an extremely wide, fish-eye perspective of the sky, making it ideal for tracking transient events. The 150° field is perfectly suited for recording meteor showers, detecting fireballs, tracking satellite passes, and monitoring atmospheric phenomena like aurora or cloud cover. Its optical design is optimized for smaller 1/3" sensors, such as those found in the Player One Mars-M or Mars-C cameras, ensuring the entire frame is illuminated for a complete horizon-to-horizon view.

  • What is the primary use for the ALL-SKY 2.1 KIT?

    The ALL-SKY 2.1 KIT is designed for wide-field, continuous monitoring of the night sky. Its 150° field of view makes it perfect for capturing large-scale events like meteor showers, aurora, satellite transits, and changing weather patterns.

    Which cameras are compatible with the ALL-SKY 2.1 KIT?

    This lens is optimized for cameras with a 1/3" sensor format. It works exceptionally well with models like the Player One Mars-C and Mars-M, providing the specified 150° field of view without significant vignetting.

    How wide is the field of view with the ALL-SKY 2.1 KIT?

    The lens provides a field of view of approximately 150 degrees when used with a compatible 1/3" format camera. This is wide enough to capture a massive portion of the sky, from near one horizon to the other.

    Is the ALL-SKY 2.1 KIT suitable for imaging planets like Jupiter?

    No, this kit is not designed for planetary imaging. The extremely short 2.1mm focal length produces a very wide field with very low magnification. Planets like Jupiter or Saturn would appear as tiny, unresolved points of light. For planetary imaging, you need a long focal length telescope and a dedicated planetary camera.

    Can I use the ALL-SKY 2.1 KIT to monitor for meteor showers like the Perseids?

    Yes, this is an ideal application. The 150° field of view allows you to monitor a huge area of the sky continuously, maximizing your chances of capturing bright meteors and fireballs during events like the Perseid or Geminid meteor showers.

    What does the 2.1mm focal length of the ALL-SKY 2.1 KIT signify?

    A very short focal length, like 2.1mm, is characteristic of a "fish-eye" or ultra-wide-angle lens. This is what enables the lens to capture such a vast 150° field of view. The trade-off for this immense field is a lack of magnification, which is why it's used for monitoring the entire sky rather than individual objects.
