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).
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).
