- Official Replacement for EAGLE4, EAGLE5, and EAGLE6
- Provides Accurate GPS Time & Location Data
- Essential for Precise Mount GoTo Alignment
- Plug-and-Play with Compatible EAGLE Units
This is the official OEM replacement GPS antenna for the PrimaLuceLab EAGLE4, EAGLE5, and EAGLE6 control units. It restores the critical GPS signal lock required for your mount to obtain precise location and time data from satellites. This ensures your telescope's GoTo system has the accurate coordinates needed for initial alignment and tracking.
The GPS antenna is a critical component of your EAGLE-powered setup, providing your mount with the precise time and location data necessary for accurate GoTo slews and tracking. This unit is the official, manufacturer-supplied replacement for the antenna originally included with your EAGLE4, EAGLE5, or EAGLE6.
If your original antenna has been lost or damaged, this replacement will restore full GPS functionality. Please note this antenna is specifically designed for the EAGLE4, EAGLE5, and EAGLE6 models and is not compatible with any previous versions of the EAGLE.
A GPS signal provides your telescope mount with highly accurate time and location data. This information is fundamental for the mount's computer to build a correct model of the sky, enabling precise GoTo slewing to objects and accurate sidereal tracking for astrophotography.
No. This GPS antenna is exclusively designed for the PrimaLuceLab EAGLE4, EAGLE5, and EAGLE6 models. It is not backwards-compatible with EAGLE, EAGLE2, or EAGLE3 control units due to differences in hardware connections and protocols.
The GPS antenna is a standard accessory included in the box with every new EAGLE4, EAGLE5, and EAGLE6. This product listing is for a replacement part in case your original antenna was lost or damaged. Please check your original packaging first.
The EAGLE4 automatically reads the precise time and geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) from the GPS antenna. It then passes this data to your mount control software, such as PLAY. This automates the initial setup for your imaging session, eliminating the need to manually enter this information and reducing the chance of alignment errors.
Yes, this is one of its primary functions. When you move to a new location, the GPS antenna for the EAGLE6 automatically detects the new coordinates. Your mount's GoTo system will then use this updated location for its sky alignment, ensuring objects are centered correctly without you needing to manually look up and enter new coordinates.
It is strongly recommended to use only the official PrimaLuceLab GPS antenna. This ensures guaranteed electronic compatibility, proper signal reception, and correct physical connection with the EAGLE4, EAGLE5, and EAGLE6 units.
