However, Stellarium connects up and works fine with my Sky-Watcher mount. That is why I usually do not use Stellarium to control the telescope. Strange that Stellarium is not working correctly and PHD2 will work. Click “Connect” and sometimes it will not connect and sometimes it is connected but the SYNC is off in Stellarium or there is no indication of where the telescope is, since the Stellarium icon for where the telescope is, cannot be found. Then in the “Configure Telescope” window the following is selected.Į. I select the “LX200_ASCOM” profile I made. I have a profile set up for each of my telescope mounts. Then I open Stellarium and go to “Configure Telescope”. Sometimes I have to verify the COM Port in PHD if connection is an issue.ĥ. Mount settings window: I selected the Meade LX200 “Meade LX200GPS/R (ASCOM)”. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not.ģ. Verified Location and COM Port and COM Port rates, click OK. “Driver setup”, the ASCOM window comes up. Click “Register”, then “OK” and do the Setup. Then I run the EQMOD’s “Toolbox” as Administrator. Sometimes it lists one or two errors, but I have no idea what they are.Ģ. I always run the ASCOM Platform 6’s “ASCOM Diagnostic”. Stellarium now has a newer way to SYNC than before and I use it on my Sky-Watcher EQ6-R Pro. In the past I was so frustrated with not being able to connect to Stellarium and when I did, I never could get the SYNC to do right.

All are installed and I even did an update last night. I have all the ASCOM drivers, EQMOD Platform and Meade’s downloaded ASCOMPlatform6SP3. I have always had an issue with trying to connect this telescope up to Stellarium. I do have all the proper cables and connectors for the two RS232 ports converted to two USB connections COM Port 4 and 10 are showing in Device Manager. Telescope slew was spot on the star and then on the object.Īll this done using the AutoStar II hand controller. I have noticed since a software update last year, that using the High Precision takes longer to find a star near your selected object. Oh, I did change the scope to do High Precision for slewing to the selected target. I also have an older Windows 8.1 (32-bit) computer that can be used. Mounted it on its equatorial wedge, balanced the scope, polar aligned it, hand controller ran the GPS, did a one-star alignment, centered all optics and camera, then slewed to my target.Ĭomputer is a 64-bit Windows 10, I have been using for several years now for astrophotography.

Last night the sky was clear, cool and a full moon on the rise.
