Great looking setup, Bill. I have the EdgeHD 8 with the AA PLus 256, and I have been really giving a considerable amount of thought to getting a MiniPC or the PLL Eagle. I recently setup N.I.N.A on a tandem 135mm and boy, you can really dial into to certain imaging and sequencing aspects in N.I.N.A and that sold me on it.

Thanks! Yes N.I.N.A. can provide additional capabilities beyond what the ASIAir platform can provide currently. And the PLL Eagle was a good choice for me but I'm also using a BeeLink U 59 MiniPC for my RedCat 51 which is working well combined with my Pegasus Astro Pocket Powerbox Advance. Now that I added a WandererAstro Mini V2 rotator to my RedCat I'm thinking of purchaisng the WandererAstro WandererBox Ultimate V2 to replace my Pegasus Astro PPBA so I have more USB ports. It might be my birthday present to myself. 😉 www.wandererastro.com/en/col.jsp?id=115

Great setup Bill. I just bought the Eagle5 S to run the gear on my RASA 11. Which model of the PrimaLuceLab dovetail clamps that you have the Eagle mounted to? Thanks for the walk through!

I'm thinking about getting the Eagle 5S so thank you for making and sharing this video. I like that you have most of the USB ports with something in them, you would think that would help weather proofing the Eagle 5 S. Do they have caps for all of the non-used ports? What power source are you using to drive the Eagle 5S? Could you add a list of the PrimaLuce parts that you are using for your setup? Thanks again

I’m not aware of anything to cap the unused ports. Interesting idea. Power Source: I use the Jackery Explorer 1500 with my EdgeHD 8 / EQ6-R Pro which is managed through the Eagle 5. I also run my Starlink off this power station when at dark sites that do not have power. Otherwise my Jackery Explorer 1000 should be enough for a 12 hour imaging night but I will not know this until I use the Eagle for a full night on my upcoming trip to Borrego Springs. I'll probably mention power consumption based upon my use of the Eagle 5 at Borrego Springs in a future video. This what I ordered from Agena Astro: PrimaLuceLab EAGLE5 S WiFi Astrophotography Computer # EAGLE5S PrimaLuceLab EAGLE 8A Power Output Cable for SkyWatcher EQ6, EQ8, HEQ5 & CQ350 Mounts - 115cm # PL1000056 PrimaLuceLab EAGLE 8A Power Output Cable with 5.5 - 2.1 Connector - 115cm # PL1000043 (To power my camera) PrimaLuceLab EAGLE 3A Power Output Cable with 5.5 - 2.5 Connector - 115cm # PL1000044 (to power my PrimaLuce Lab Giotto LED light panel) PrimaLuceLab ECCO2 Smart Dew Heater Controller for EAGLE # ECCO2 Hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions, 👍 ~ Bill

I was in the military. Military grade makes me not want to buy it. You are doing the Eagle a disservice.
