I made a mistake in purchasing this product. Their site claims to offer excellent support. IN FACT, THEY DO NOT OFFER ANY SUPPORT! I have tried to contact them with 3 separate problems and never have had a response. I am in the process of disputing this charge with my credit card company.

Easy to put together and easy to use for a beginner. I had to use the included spacer to get my 1.25" eyepieces to focus properly in case you're having that issue.

very reliable, strong, and dependable

I'm commission a site for serius observations and there are a lot of requirements and technologies to be harmonized and so many areas of post-processing that require dedicated software that you can really get lost. PRISM is open and allows full integration of any equipment in few mouse clicks with an impressive set of analysis and post-processing and automation tools that can drive efficiently you into a professional experience of the sky wonders.

Recieved my ar102 in only 3 days from ordering. Scope was packaged really well. The tracking system used by Hyperian was easy to use. Will order from them again. As far a the scope goes I am still waiting for a clear evening to try it out. Have only rough aligned finder scope which went really easily.

I purchased this hoping to automate the task of flats with SG Pro software. This things is perfect. Once setup and running I am able to not only do flats, but the light blocking when closed lets me do Bias during the day time. Really happy with the build quality and operation of this device. I would recommend anyone wanting to get precision flats and automate the control of that process to get this item. Well worth the price and shipping was very fast! Thanks!

This fit my ED127 essential series. It also fits my ZWO Zenithstar 61

Arrived quickly. Good, solid, quality product. Easy install. Does exactly what it is designed to do.

I am constantly learning the wealth of features contained in this software. I used the Pro version for a while, but wanted some of the additional features in Prism Advanced. I must say that I have not been disappointed. This is a great software package. Just be prepared to spend time learning how to maximize all the features. One last comment. The customer support is excellent!

This case is custom made for the 127-ed series. Sturdy and room for accessories. However, with the scope in it it weighs in at 40 plus pounds. Not really useful for back and forth transport to the field. For storage or shipping it is great and will really protect your investment.

I have received LE Pyxs, very good quality, but does not work with Linux.
But I'm in contact with Optec to get the Linux driver.
We'll see later if it works properly.

I bought PRISM v.10 Pro for its integrated capabilities. I did not want to have to "bolt together" different software packages to achieve all my objectives. Two weeks after downloading the software the skies cleared and I was able to use my ZWO CMOS camera and focuser mounted onto a Stellarvue 80mm to move all over the sky finding and taking test shots of Messier objects. I am currently working on deepening my knowledge of what the software can do, particularly pointing models and autoguiding. The look of PRISM is a little outdated - others have mentioned this - but when you discover what you can accomplish with this software package this is easily forgotten. The online tutorials work well to get you off and running and phone support is quite good! I look forward to learning a little bit more each day and to achieving high quality imaging.

I bought this in anticipation of using it at my summer home. So it is still unwrapped. It did come highly recommended, and the shipping speed was nothing short of miraculous, so I can't wait to get down to work!

This is my first experience with Hyperion. I had quick shipping and good service. The eagle is an excellent device for controlling my telescope and camera. It is a powerful pc.

For those who have the Eagle, the ECCO is a great device to monitor and adjust the dew heater. It is very easy to install. You do a short calibration in the advanced settings, be sure the sensor is properly placed, plug in the cables and bingo--all done. Highly recommend it.

Amazing program, so much you are able to do with it. Very costomizable. Great software support as well, quick replies and helpful. As an amateur astrophotographer it’s pretty easy to learn and the program can grow with you as you dive into the more advanced features.

I am still learning all the capabilities of Prism, and so far very pleased. I have had several nights so far, after easy setup, of sound sleep waking up to multiple quality subs. I have tried many automation software packages and very happy with Prism.
I asked about some simple issues on initial setup, and customer support was very fast and super friendly.
Give Prism a try.

A couple of years ago, I wanted to replace my old VMA200 mount with something more modern.
While visiting the Paris Astronomy show (RCE 2012) I noticed the Nova120. At that time, it was a brand new offering that I have not seen before, hence my hesitation to purchase
I wanted to purchase a E.U product to guarantee the quality and ease of access to support in my own language. I checked the forums and heard nothing but good things about the Nova120 so I decided to purchase it.

I have used enough astronomical instruments in the last 30 years to know what great quality is. The Nova120 coupled with the PRISM v10 and a CDK20 (508 mm) helped me pull off 900s unguided images with great ease. (Raw FITS File here). Payload of this setup is about 80 kg (160 lb).

The dizzying slew speeds, excellent accuracy and painless tracking makes this hobby easy and enjoyable again.
After using this setup for a year and a half, the only problem I had was rebalacing the gear after changing scopes. The superb electronics and software included make this tasks even more easier that just eyeballing the scope for movement due to unbalance.

You can very easily watch the motor consumption and know where the unbalance is....that easy. I have so much data that it is becoming difficult yo keep up.
I have absolutely zero regrets, this purchase has made everything easier: No summer/winter worm-gear adjustments, no guiding... just start imaging night after night after night.

This guide scope replaces a 400/80 that was waaay too heavy for what it did. The smaller 60mm scope does a great job guiding and I can RA balance with just one counter weight now - much better - and it looks like something Ferrari designed

I have to admit, I was hesitant to invest in an “all in one” astrophotography program. Being a beginner, I thought the learning curve would be way too steep, but after talking with several friends I decided to give it a try. The first thing I noticed was the logical layout of the main screen. It was very intuitive and easy to navigate. Everything you could need for astrophotography is in this program! Setup of my equipment was quick and easy with no glitches or errors. Everything runs smoothly from capture to the final process. You will surely have questions and this brings me to the next point. Prism’s customer service is second to none! With on line tutorials, a Facebook group and email you will have instant access to knowledgeable users worldwide. My first question was answered directly by the US distributor within a matter of minuets! Take the next step and invest in your future in astrophotography! You’ll never look back!

This giant flat panel is exactly what a flat panel should be! I use it with a large aperture setup in a remote observatory. It’s great having a super-well-built panel this big! It’s totally flicker free and evenly lit across the entire panel. Even the software is amazing – even adjustable setting for color & narrow-band filters. Another must have product for imaging.

Get it, you will not regret it

Prism was chosen to supply the data-streams for our astrophysics research with the multi-longitude Global Jet Watch observatories as it was the only commercial software capable of controlling our array of cameras. Our observations require at least 4 cameras running simultaneously with several others being available for other modes during a night. Typically we are running one (soon to be upgraded to two) spectrograph cameras, a guiding camera and two (soon to be three) commensal photometric calibration imaging cameras, with an astrometric acquisition camera available as well. These are controlled via Prism’s scripting capability to ensure our supply of data to HQ at the University of Oxford keeps coming from sunset to sunrise from each of our observatories

I bought PRISM Lite a couple of months ago and I use it every time I am out, it is just a dream software to have everything in one window. The setup was very easy and all the video tutorials made ita pleasure to get started. Hyperion's support is always on point as well.

I purchased Prism V10 Professional 2 years ago. It is a complete all-in-one package, everything is right there in the software. I use all the controls except for the Dome and weather related. I can do everything from the comfort of my office with this software. I'm still in the process of learning how to use this software, there is much more than I will ever use. Support has been great! Also love the tutorials on YouTube, it's a tremendous help. This is a must have!!

I paired this with Prism and then linked it through my home wifi to my computer. It is amazing. No latency. Gives me complete control of all my devices to include power. Nothing is better than running everything from my office, especially when it is freezing outside. By the way, I received outstanding support from Hyperion!

I highly recommend Prism to my fellow amateur astrophotographers and citizen scientists. It’s a very rare treat indeed to come across a software package that doesn’t require a whole host of 3rd party addon programs for you to accomplish your goals. From data acquisition, to analysis and processing, Prism really is a “one stop shop” for your software needs. Instead of learning 3-7 different programs, you can learn and use just one to do it all. Autoguiding, automated data acquisition, processing, finding asteroids, plate solving, and hardware analysis, all from the same package. This along with industry leading support, and you truly have the best of breed software package out there today.

Was extremely helpful and well worth the investment.

I have been using Optec LE rotator with a combination of two filter wheels (9 positions Atik EFW2 + 7 position Starlight Xpress EFW) with a CCD. It is solid build and bear load of such setup.

The field rotation accuracy is within 0.1 deg. The system is belt driven with no backlash.

It is also a fantastic option, who use Alpy600 spectroscope and need slit rotation while measuring planets rotation time or capturing the comet spectra.

I've been using the EAGLE Pro for months now and I really love it - for several reasons:

1) It's simplifies my gear, less cables to get caught, only 1 power cable, etc;

2) I can power-cycle my connected USB items using the EAGLE software (without being at the telescope);

3) I've used the WiFi & a connected cable to remote into the EAGLE - it's great to have the option;

4) I use the ECCO dew heater controller which automatically controls power to the heater - all run through the EAGLE software - out of sight, out of mind;

5) An added bonus is that I use the EAGLE to help fine-tune the balance of my gear - when swapping out cameras, reducers, diagonals, etc. - I slide the EAGLE forward or back to fine-tune balance, rather than moving the OTA.

I highly recommend the EAGLE to anyone serious about a great setup!

Both PrimaLuce Labs & Hyperion Astronomy have fantastic customer service - don't hesitate to ask them questions - lord knows I have!

I have been using PRiSM advanced since one and half years. I used almost all Astro imaging software since past.
PRiSM is integrated software with many outstanding capabilities. PRiSM skychart is so extensive (DSS image reduction makes it more lethal). Skychart shows many inbuilt star catalogs like GSC/SAO/BSC and covers all DSOs ) but anytime can be embedded with more extensive star catalogs like USNO-A2.0/UCAC4/ PPMXL(net)/NOMAD(net)/GAIA DR-1 and now PRiSM is going to add GAIA DR-2 as well. PRiSM has the capability to plate solve image with many extensive star catalogs mentions above (also online nova.astrometry.net solution and offline using ANSVR setup) as well as color band photometry and it does precisely the examples are:
http://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=12189
http://www.astronomerstelegram.org/?read=12204
Here you can see much error in magnitude estimation, but it is not PRiSM fault as observations done in average sky condition with small aperture telescope (average S/N value).
PRiSM very well updates MPC data, but what about the astrometry and moving object image stacking. The answer is yes. PRiSM stacks those images using star catalog based plate solving.
Again, PRiSM run my all imaging instruments like all 3 CCDs , two filter wheels, autoguiding and focus control.
No doubt PRiSM is lowest in price range compare to other available.
Again, I am totally in love with this software. It is the software of the next generation.

I want to say right up front after using this software for 1 1/2 years now; Prism 10 Advanced is the best software I have ever used in my observatory. The price tag of the Prism 10 Advanced version was only $499 and was the best spent money in my 25 years’ experience in astronomy and astrophotography.
I was relying on multiple pieces of software in the past all running at the same time and bogging down my computer! Prism 10 Advanced has now replaced ALL my software I was using to take CCD images that have been published multiple times in several magazines.

Prism 10 Advanced has streamlined ALL my processes to achieve publishable images in a very short setup time per evening. One of its greatest features is being able to automate my observatory in a very precision way. I never dreamed that being automated would be so easy. I have achieved image targets with precision guiding and I never even opened the door to the observatory! It was all done from my house via the internet!

I highly recommend Prism 10 software to all that want to save time and money. This is the best and fastest software on the market for astrophotography and automation in my opinion and is very affordable. Download it and see for yourself….you will become amazed very quickly.

Good Luck and Clear Skies!
