One of the most advanced features of the EAGLE6 computer for telescopes is its integrated Lights-out Management (LOM) system—a hardware-based solution that provides full remote control of the EAGLE even when the Windows operating system is powered down. Whether you’re operating your telescope from a remote observatory or simply want…
Starting with version 1.9.5, PLAY introduces support for Canon and Nikon DSLR and mirrorless cameras, expanding its compatibility beyond dedicated astronomy cameras. This new feature allows astrophotographers to easily control their Canon or Nikon camera directly from PLAY, enabling image capture and saving. On this page, you’ll find the list…
The EAGLE introduces new ways to remotely turn it on, enhancing flexibility and convenience for remote observatory operation. Whether your telescope is located nearby or in a remote observatory, you now have three different methods to power on your EAGLE. In this article we’ll describe how to activate each method…
Finding the right way to transport a telescope can be a complex task. Each time you move your setup, you must carefully pack delicate instruments, reassemble the entire system, reconnect cables, and recalibrate everything before starting a new imaging session. However, with the EAGLE computer, you can significantly simplify this…
In modern astronomy, automation plays a crucial role in ensuring efficient and seamless observations. However, for automation, telescope safety monitoring is just as important as precision and performance. Unexpected conditions—such as unstable power supply, or unwanted telescope motion—can lead to observation errors or even damage sensitive equipment. To address this…
Telescope cable management in astrophotography can be challenging due to the numerous devices required, such as the mount, camera, autoguider, electronic focuser, motorized filter wheel, and more—all of which need both data and power connections. When using a standard external computer, these cables can become tangled, pulled, or even disconnected…
EAGLE, our all-in-one computer for telescopes and astrophotography, is available in multiple versions, each offering different levels of computing power and storage capacity. All EAGLE models share the same integrated design, combining a Windows-based computer (allowing you to use your preferred software and connect any compatible devices) with advanced features…
In this article we show how to use PixInsight to process deep-sky objects images recorded with PLAY astrophotography software. In this tutorial we’re going to process an image of NGC6992 nebula captured with a 100mm apochromatic refractor telescope on AZ-EQ6 mount in alt-az mode, with ESATTO focuser, ARCO rotator, GIOTTO…
Radio interferometry is the technique used by professional radio astronomers to create a single large radio telescope using multiple smaller antennas. Radio interferometry allows radio astronomers to obtain radio pictures with higher angular resolution, but up until now this technique has been used only in very expensive research instruments….
In this article you can read how to use SEQUENCER to start an image sequence acquisition. Once you’re happy with the acquisition settings and the object framing, you can press the large PLAY button in the lower-right part of PLAY window and you will see a new popup window that…
