Q & A
Q: Where to save my pictures or videos?
A: You can save captured images or videos directly on the hard disk of EAGLE. You can also connect a USB stick to one of
the USB ports of the EAGLE, and then set the capture software you use to save images directly into the USB stick. This
way, if you have an external computer that yo use to process images for astrophotography, you can easily move your ima-
ges.
Q: Can I use EAGLE as a normal desktop computer?
A: Sure. EAGLE has an HDMI monitor port to connect an external display. Then connect a USB mouse and a USB keyboard
to 2 USB ports of the EAGLE. Connect the power supply (or battery) to the power port of the EAGLE and press the on/off
button to make using the EAGLE as it was a normal desktop computer.
Q: Can I change the operating system of EAGLE?
A: The remote control settings of your EAGLE are implemented in the operating system. So if you format the EAGLE’s SSD
drive, you will lose the functions of the wireless remote control. Since the version of the operating system does not imply
real changes in the functionality of the telescopes (that indeed depend on the astronomy software installed), we advise
you not to make changes in the EAGLE pre-installed operating system.
Q: What devices can I use to control EAGLE remotely?
A: You can use any smartphone, tablet (running iOS, Android or Windows Mobile) or computer (with Windows or OSX) in-
stalling the application "Microsoft Remote Desktop". For ease of use we recommend devices with a screen size of at least
8 inches.
Q: Can I command EAGLE from my Apple computer?
A: Sure. Access to the OS X App Store and search for "Microsoft Remote Desktop” app. Install it and follow the instructions
in this manual to set the remote control.
Q: Can I control multiple devices simultaneously EAGLE?
A: No, when you access to EAGLE with a new device, the connection to the previous devices is stopped and EAGLE will
only appear in the new device.
