Install EAGLE CORE on a telescope or use with a telephoto lens
EAGLE CORE has been entirely designed with SolidEdge three-dimensional design
software to offer the widest possible modularity along with PLUS elements
(dovetail plates, rings or clamps) and/or with telescopes from many brands. EAGLE
CORE can be positioned under a camera lens, between support rings and guide
rings, connected to a Vixen or Losmandy type plate using the optional clamp or, in
the case of telescopes with long bars, it can be screwed on the PLUS Vixen or
Losmandy plate to be placed on top of the PLUS support rings. So let's see the
various configurations possible, depending on the telescope on which EAGLE CORE
is installed, either using other PLUS elements or with different instruments, or
using the telephoto lens of your camera.
WARNING: in order to connect EAGLE CORE to other PLUS mechanical elements, do
not use longer screws than M6x12 and M5x12. Otherwise, the screws could touch
the EAGLE CORE internal elements and could lead to breaks or malfunctions.
Screws are supplied with EAGLE CORE.
Connection to camera with telephoto lens.
If you do not have a telescope you
can do astrophotography even
using the telephoto lens of your
camera. In this case, EAGLE CORE
can be installed as the support of
your camera with telephoto lens
just as if it was a bar. In this case,
connect a 140mm Vixen PLUS bar
under EAGLE CORE using two
M6x12 screws (supplied); then
install the optional 80mm PLUS
