EAGLE CORE advanced settings
With a Tap on the Menu button you will
sequentially see a series of functions. First of all
the general system information such as the version
of EAGLE OS, and the CPU temperature. Clicking on
"Main" button you will return to the "Guiding"
screen and the control parameters. The "Camera
Settings" button allows you to have a first access
to the connected camera. EAGLE CORE
automatically recognizes the connected DSLR
camera and reports the status of the battery. To
avoid running our of battery, we recommend using
the “Eagle-compatible power cable for Canon EOS
and Nikon DSLR camera“, available for many reflex
models often used in astro photography. With a
"Tap" on "Advanced settings", you access the guide
camera selection;
by default in EAGLE CORE the simulator is set as
default, in this window you can select the guide
camera used (eg QHY5L-II or Lodestar).
Then, in the Guider Camera field you can set the
diameter (Aperture) and focal length (Focal) in
millimeters of the guide scope. The values of the
"60mm CompactGuide Guide Telescope" (optional)
are preset, but you can modify them at will. Below
you can see the parameters (resolution and pixel
size) of the guide camera. Parameters are
automatically detected by EAGLE CORE. After
selecting the guide camera and checking the
parameters of the guide scope, click "Save" to
confirm (if you do not click Save, EAGLE CORE will
keep the Simulator as guide camera).
