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 or Android) or computer (with Windows or MacOS) installing the appli-
cation "Microsoft Remote Desktop” or “Parallels RD client”.. 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” or “Parallels RD client” 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. 

Q: During remote connection, power out and USB ports are no more active in the EAGLE Manager software, how can I fix this? 

A: Enter in ADVANCED SETTINGS and click on RECONNECT button, ports will be reactivated.
