First Use: Installing Eagle On The Telescope - PrimaLuceLab EAGLE3 Manual

P r i m a L u c e L a b i S r l
EAGLE has been entirely designed with SolidEdge three-dimensional design software to offer maximum possible modula-
rity with the PLUS elements (rings, dovetail plates or clamps) and/or telescopes of from brands. EAGLE may be positioned
between support and guide rings, connected to a Vixen or Losmandy type dovetail bar through the appropriate optional
clamp or, in case of telescopes with long dovetail bars, it can be screwed on the PLUS Vixen or Losmandy dovetail bar to
be placed over the PLUS support ring . Let's then see the various possible configurations, depending on the telescope EA-
GLE has to be installed on, using both other PLUS elements and different instruments.
CAUTION: in order to connect EAGLE to other mechanical PLUS elements do not use screws longer than :
- M6x12 and M5x12 to connect to the EAGLE support and guide rings or dovetail clamps of the PLUS system
- M6x8 to connect to the EAGLE Vixen and Losmandy type dovetail bars of the PLUS system
If you use longer screws, the screws may touch the internal elements of EAGLE and this could lead to breakage or malfunction.
Connecting to telescopes with PLUS support rings and support rings spaced up to 12cm.
When using compact apochromatic telescopes, the distance of the support rings is set by the PLUS Vixen or Losmandy
dovetail clamp installed with the telescope. In this case , the EAGLE can be installed directly above the support ring, as if it
were a dovetail bar (image 18). Thanks to the M5 threaded holes present in the upper part of the EAGLE, then you can
install PLUS guide rings and then a guide scope (note: the guide scope must not exceed 3 kg in weight to prevent flexures).
