Install Any Astrophotography Software

The EAGLE LE eliminates the need for an external computer and you are not limited to a preset list of features – You can install whatever software and device you want to use on the EAGLE. The Windows 10 Enterprise operating system is 100% Windows 10 compatible but is lighter-weight and more stable than traditional PCs that use Windows 10 Home or other OEM versions that come preinstalled with useless bloatware. PrimaLuceLab has optimized the Windows 10 Enterprise installation on the EAGLE to be a faster operating system (the EAGLE is ready to use just 20 seconds after pressing the ON button) and to maintain better stability during your astrophotography sessions. EAGLE LE uses an Intel Core i5-8365U Quad-core, turbo 4.1 GHz, and 16 GB fast DDR4 RAM memory – both designed for low power consumption. This way you have the power you need to run any astrophotography software with a device that’s easy on your battery, improving overall portability.

Telescope Control: the EAGLE Manager

EAGLE comes with the “EAGLE Manager” software that, when you start EAGLE and with an easy and intuitive interface, shows devices connection status, power consumption of every device connected, power voltage value and, if you use a battery, its expected lifetime based on its charge. Thanks to  the EAGLE Manager:

• Enable/Disable every 12V power out port
• Set the power out voltage of the 3 x 0-12V power out ports
• Connect or disconnect devices connected to the 5 USB 2.0 ports:
• Check power consumption and battery lifetime
• Set WiFi connectivity
• Remotely turn on/off the entire telescope

Integrated WIFI System

To operate the EAGLE LE, you don’t need a keyboard and mouse; you can control the EAGLE through a free dedicated app, available on any smartphone, tablet or personal computer running Windows, MacOS, iOS or Android. Turn the EAGLE on, then enable your device’s WiFi connection and select the WiFi network provided by the EAGLE. Launch the remote control app and you will have EAGLE desktop on your screen with access to all your astrophotography software. If you like, you can also configure the EAGLE to connect to a pre-existing WiFi or wired/ethernet network allowing remote access via the internet – perfect for remote observatories! Since the EAGLE doesn’t use VNC or other software for remote control, it’s faster and more stable. For your safety each EAGLE device creates a unique WiFi network, from any other EAGLE that might be nearby. To avoid any other issues at a star party, every EAGLE also has a unique access password known only by you.
