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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA 150° Field of View for All-Sky Monitoring\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"DAV-accordion-Q\"\u003eWhat is the primary use for the ALL-SKY 2.1 KIT?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion-A\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ALL-SKY 2.1 KIT is designed for wide-field, continuous monitoring of the night sky.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"DAV-accordion-Q\"\u003eCan I use the ALL-SKY 2.1 KIT to monitor for meteor showers like the Perseids?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion-A\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is an ideal application.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"DAV-specifications\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"DAV-grid\"\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Player One 2-Year Warranty\" href=\"https:\/\/davidastro.com\/pages\/player-one-warranty-policy\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePlayer One 2-Year Warranty\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Player One","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52913429020957,"sku":"POA-AS2.1KIT","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/5280\/1565\/files\/PlayerOne-ALL-SKY-2-1-KIT-1_f18c4b17-4910-4bb6-8c9a-4182cb7e67b3.jpg?v=1789091003","url":"https:\/\/davidastro.com\/en-us\/products\/player-one-all-sky-2-1-kit","provider":"David Astro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
