For a better management of the telescope connectivity we also suggest you to write the COM port number that Windows associates to every device on the name of the USB port of the EAGLE that you can personalise in the EAGLE Manager interface. For example, since this EAGLE actually controls 2 telescopes, we used this:<\/p>\n<p><strong>T1 ESATTO21<\/strong> means that Telescope1 has an ESATTO focuser on COM21<br \/>\n<strong>T1 GIOTTO4 ALTO3<\/strong> means that Telescope1 has an ALTO cover motor on COM3 with GIOTTO on COM4<br \/>\n<strong>T2 ESATTO17<\/strong> means that Telescope2 has an ESATTO focuser on COM17<br \/>\n<strong>T2 GIOTTO19 ALTO20<\/strong> means that Telescope2 has an ALTO cover motor on COM20 with GIOTTO on COM19<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since in a remote controlled observatory telescope we do not disconnect USB cables from the devices to the EAGLE, every time you will turn on the EAGLE Windows will associate the same COM port numbers so you don\u2019t need to change these in settings of your astronomy software.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6984\" src=\"https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-2025-image08.png\" alt=\"How to remotely power and control the observatory telescope with EAGLE\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-2025-image08.png 2000w, https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-2025-image08-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-2025-image08-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-2025-image08-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-2025-image08-50x28.png 50w, https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-2025-image08-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-2025-image08-60x34.png 60w, https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-2025-image08-100x56.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now, if your telescope is provided with remote control cameras to allow you to remotely monitor sky conditions and to see the telescope moving, you can start Windows browser and log to the IP address provided by the cameras. Please refer to the outdoor camera manufacturer manual in order to check how to see the live images from these cameras. Usually we install:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">outside the dome: a very sensitive camera that is pointed toward the sky and that allows you to monitor weather conditions. This camera has a special sensor that allows you to see also the stars during night time.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">inside the dome: a camera with IR light that is pointed at the telescope and that is able to show it also in IR light (without a visible light pointed at the telescope). This way you can see the telescope moving and operating also during night time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These cameras are directly connected to an PoE Switch (Power Over Ethernet) that may be installed on the pier and that, in turn, is connected to the EAGLE and to a power plug. This way outdoor cameras are powered through the standard Ethernet cable (that connects them, together with the EAGLE, to the PoE Switch) and they don\u2019t need an external power source. By setting the cameras this way, they automatically starts when you power on the EAGLE.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4572\" src=\"https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-image09.png\" alt=\"How to remotely power and control the observatory telescope with EAGLE\" width=\"999\" height=\"684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-image09.png 1920w, https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-image09-300x205.png 300w, https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-image09-1024x701.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-image09-768x526.png 768w, https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-image09-50x34.png 50w, https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-image09-1536x1051.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-image09-60x41.png 60w, https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-image09-100x68.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After you turn the observatory telescope on and you remotely check that the weather conditions allow you to use the telescope, you can start the control software and connect to all the devices that compose your observatory telescope. Since the Observatory Station is controlled through the EAGLE, by running Windows it allows you to use any astronomy software designed for Windows 10 or 11, so you can personalise your telescope use based on the application you want to achieve. But, if you want to use our PLAY astrophotography software, click on Windows Start button and select PLAY: this will launch the astrophotography software we develop not only to control all the PrimaLuceLab devices but also to allow you to make astrophotography in the easiest way.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Please note: since the EAGLE uses Windows, not only you can use the camera, mount and accessories you prefer (they just have to have ASCOM drivers) but you\u2019re also able to use any other Windows software (compatible with Windows 10 or 11) that is designed for telescope control and data acquisition. This way, if you want to have more features or if you\u2019re searching for a specific application, you are able to upgrade your system not only with new hardware but also with new software (since EAGLE is not limited to a specific application).<\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6988\" src=\"https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-2025-image10.png\" alt=\"How to remotely power and control the observatory telescope with EAGLE\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-2025-image10.png 2000w, https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-2025-image10-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-2025-image10-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-2025-image10-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-2025-image10-50x28.png 50w, https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-2025-image10-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-2025-image10-60x34.png 60w, https:\/\/www.primalucelab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/How-to-remotely-power-and-control-the-observatory-telescope-with-EAGLE-2025-image10-100x56.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since for this article we already set the devices that are used in the observatory telescope (if you want to know how to set your telescope configuration in PLAY, please refer to PLAY user manual), you can press the CONNECT ALL button and this will launch the connection of all your devices to PLAY.
