How to use EAGLE Manager X and simplify devices connectivity
How to use EAGLE Manager X and simplify devices connectivityThe EAGLE computer is able to control many devices and this is very important in modern days since your astrophotography telescope may be composed by more electronic accessories: imaging camera, auto guider, motorised focuser, rotator, motorised filter wheel, flat field generator, telescope cover motor, dome, etc. Most of these (usually all except cameras) are “serial devices” that communicate with computers by sending data with a “serial” standard (like the RS-232). But modern Windows computers (and the EAGLE too) have not serial ports (like COM1, COM2), so the serial device has to be connected to computer’s USB port and communicate through a “virtual” COM port by using a driver that creates a COM port (e.g., COM3, COM4). Since definition of COM port number is requested in most...
How to use GHOST mode and replace USB cables of PLL devices with a wireless connection
How to use GHOST mode and replace USB cables of PLL devices with a wireless connectionThanks to GHOST mode (available starting with EAGLE Manager X v2), the EAGLE is able to control PLL devices (SESTO SENSO 2, ESATTO, ARCO, GIOTTO and ALTO) by using its WiFi connection instead of a standard USB cable, without forcing you to use special drivers or software. When you activate GHOST mode, EAGLE Manager X wirelessly connects to your PLL devices and creates a new COM device, as you would have with a standard USB cable (that now you can remove) so you can keep using your astrophotography programs and ASCOM platform as you always have.
How to provide a rotating focuser to EdgeHD 8” with 0.7x reducer for deep-sky astrophotography
How to provide a rotating focuser to EdgeHD 8” with 0.7x reducer for deep-sky astrophotographyEdgeHD 8″ telescope comes standard with an internal focuser and, if you want to use it for astrophotography, using an external focuser allows you to lock the primary mirror (by using the locking screws provided in telescope rear cell) and prevent mirror shift during astrophotography sessions. More, by adding a rotator allows you to better frame the object and to use this telescope also with alt-azi mounts for deep-sky astrophotography. In this article we’ll see how to use a rotating focuser to EdgeHD 8” also if you want to use it with the dedicated 0.7x reducer.
