Primaluce Lab EAGLE6 S - Advanced Computer for Telescopes and Astrophotography
The EAGLE6 S is the more powerful version of the EAGLE6. With its i3 processor, 8 GB of fast RAM, a larger SSD (256 GB), and the addition of Thunderbolt interface (providing even higher-speed connectivity, up to 40 Gbps, for devices like high-speed storage if extra space is needed) to USB-C ports, EAGLE6 S delivers greater performance while maintaining low power consumption!
All in a lightweight, compact all-in-one design with PLUS aluminum housing to be installed on your telescope and that comes with all of the advanced features of the EAGLE6 like WiFi 6E wireless connection, GPS sensor with high gain antenna, EYE sensor to monitor sky darkness, DARK mode to disable LED lights, GHOST mode to replace USB cables of PLL devices with wireless connection, Inclinometer and Motion Detector sensors, remote control with Lights-out Management, Observatory Actions with CTRL-IN and CTRL-OUT ports!
EAGLE6 S provides desktop class performance with a low power consumption.
The EAGLE6 S brings the power of a desktop class computer in the compact form factor of the EAGLE. This means your EAGLE6 S will not only have enough space to save all your software and data thanks to the larger 256GB SSD disk, but it is also powerful and responsive enough to run the most demanding astrophotography applications. But the EAGLE6 S still has a low power consumption so it helps you to reduce the battery capacity needed to power your telescope all night long. Intel’s 13th generation i3 processor with 6 cores, 10MB of cache and Max Turbo Frequency of 4.50 GHz provides great performance with lower power consumption than standard computers. EAGLE6 S adds also Thunderbolt 4 connectivity to the 2 USB-C ports with data transfer rates up to 40 Gbps.
EAGLE6 S computer for telescopes and astrophotography - main features:
Windows 11 Enterprise computer lets you install your preferred Windows software and use the devices you want
NEW 13th Generation Intel® Core™ i3 (TDP 15W) 6-Core processor with 8GB RAM DDR4 3200 MHz and 256GB SSD NVMe disk
Industrial grade SSD disk and RAM module to provide the best reliability also in very low temperatures
10 port USB hub with 3x high speed USB 3.2, 2x USB 4 type-C ports (Thunderbolt 4) plus 5x USB 2.0 ports (4 of them with remote on/off capability)
4 x 12V power out ports with remote ON/OFF control to power your mount, camera and other 12V accessories
3x variable 0-12V power out ports for dew heaters
GPS sensor with high gain antenna to detect elevation, latitude, longitude, date and time
EYE sensor to monitor sky brightness in a 5° field of view where the telescope is pointed
Inclinometer to measure elevation of your telescope
Motion Detector to detect unexpected or unwanted motions of your telescope caused by high winds, sudden flexures or cable snags.
DARK mode to turn off LED lights
GHOST mode to replace USB cables of PLL devices with wireless connection
NEW Observatory Actions with dedicated CTRL IN and CTRL OUT ports that can be used to activate EAGLE feature or to turn on/off any device (such as mounts and/or domes) that accept external switch input.
NEW Lights-out Management (LOM) to enable remote power on and monitoring of EAGLE sensors and ports with a dedicated Ethernet port, independently of the operating system (even when the computer is powered off)
NEW Powerful and fast WiFi 6E (802.11ax) that expands connectivity to the 6 GHz band (added to the 2.4 and 5 GHz ones), to reduce radio interference.
Measurement of power consumption of each device powered through the 12v power OUT ports of the EAGLE
Power level monitoring provided to 12V power IN port of the EAGLE
EAGLE Manager X interface to easily control all the EAGLE’s features
PLUS aluminum case, allowing you to easily attach the EAGLE to any telescope by adding rings, bars or clamps
Weight: 1.2 kg (2.65 lb)
EAGLE6 S with Thunderbolt connectivity and USB-C connectors: high speed connectivity.
EAGLE6 S also adds incredibly fast and powerful Thunderbolt 4 connectivity to the USB-C type ports allowing connections up to 40 Gbps with more connectivity options. Compared to a standard USB port, USB-C/Thunderbolt adds many additional features:
Speed: while USB 3.0 is up to 5 Gbps, the Thunderbolt 4 port offers connectivity speeds up to 40 Gbps
Connectivity: you can connect many devices like external drives, displays, multi port docking stations, audio devices, etc. It allows you to connect as many as 6 devices, daisy chained, through a single compact port. Since it has a USB-C type connector, the cable is reversible so there is no wrong way to connect it. If you have a standard USB-C device, you can connect it to the Thunderbolt port (in this case the maximum speed will be 10 Gbps).
EAGLE6 S: dimensions and weight
EAGLE6 S includes all these advanced features in an aluminum, lightweight, compact all-in-one chassis designed to be installed on your telescope in the way you prefer. This way you can connect all the USB and 12V power cables from your devices to the EAGLE greatly improving your cable management. The EAGLE6 S weights just 1.25 kg (2.75 lbs). In the picture you can see all the dimensions with positions of M6 and M5 threaded holes to connect rings, bars and clamps.
Performance comparison with a miniPC.
EAGLE not only offers exclusive features for advanced astrophotography, but also all the power of a real computer (superior to a Mini PC) to allow you to use any astrophotography software. In order to test its performance, we used the PCMark benchmark and compared EAGLE6, EAGLE6 S, EAGLE6 PRO and EAGLE6 XTM with one of the many Mini PCs on the market. As you can see in the picture below, EAGLE6 offer 62% more performance than a common Mini PC with Intel Celeron N3160 processor, 4GB of RAM and SSD disk; EAGLE6 S still raises the gap by bringing this difference to 272%; EAGLE6 PRO increases even more to +310% and the faster EAGLE6 XTM boosts everything to an incredible +349%!
EAGLE: a complete family of computers for telescopes.
All EAGLE computers run Windows so you can install your preferred Windows software and use the devices you want, but in order to better suit everyone’s needs, we developed a complete line of EAGLE computers providing different computing power, memory capacity, disk space, advanced features and integrated sensors. This allows you to choose the EAGLE that best fits your application, power requirements and budget. In the table below you will find the specifications of all the EAGLE models with different processors, RAM memories, SSD disks, USB ports, HDMI ports, wireless and wired connectivity, integrated sensors and operative systems.
