$PLUS case of EAGLE computer is a structural element of your telescope One of the many advantages of the EAGLE computer is that it comes with a special aluminum PLUS case with many threaded holes and high structural rigidity to let you easily connect it to your telescope. One of the best way to connect the EAGLE to telescopes, if you have a compact refractor or astrograph with weight not higher than 8 kg (17.6 pounds), is to install it between support rings and dovetail bar, this way creating a great setup for your astrophotography.

$PL GSS makes its debut - Live from SATShow 2026 in Washington DC We are at SATShow Week 2026, in Washington DC. Over 15,000 professionals from 110+ countries. The entire satellite and space industry, in one place. And we are here to show PL-GSS, the Prima Luce Ground Segment System, for the first time on the international stage. PL-GSS is our complete platform for radio and optical ground stations. Automated. Easy to use. Ready to operate from day one. Designed to give space missions independent access to space, at a fraction of the cost of classical systems. In this video, Filippo Bradaschia (President and CEO, PrimaLuceLab) and Enrico Vazzoler (Chief Software Projects Officer) walk you through what we are showing at the booth: a live remote connection from Washington DC to our INTREPID 500-20 radio ground station installed at the PL Space Center in Italy, tracking satellites in real time using our Radio2Space software. This is not a simulation. This is PL-GSS in operation.
