The Oculus PRO All-Sky camera is designed to provide high-quality sky images for weather and meteor observations.  The core of this camera is based on the super-sensitive 1.4 megapixels ‘Ultrastar PRO’.
The new PRO version has built-in Dew Detection which only turns the internal dew heater on when necessary, so the camera itself is not heated when the humidity is low, increasing your signal-to-noise. The Air-Assist fan, with the internal dew heaters, ensures the dome remains clear.
It employs a 2.5mm FL f1.2 ‘Fish-Eye’ lens to achieve 150 degrees coverage, the 150º version, and 1.55mm f2 180 degree ‘Fish-Eye’ lens with an extra giving horizon to horizon coverage, the 180º version.
