I’m happy to update this as needed, or do pics if required. I have Stellarium auto open in options so I just click on StellariumScope. You do not need to do the other steps again apart from restarting Stellarium Scope and Stellarium. If you did this all in test mode and have a SynScan WiFi connected you should now be able to go to step 8. Conversely, if you select something on the SynScan App it will show in Stellarium.ġ3. Your scope should slew to the new target. You are now good to go! Select something in Stellarium and press CNTL and 1 together. If you scroll around the reticle should be on the star you last aligned. You may need to update Stellarium again via this screen if you change anything.ġ2. If you want to customise further look in ‘options’ for auto start of Stellarium etc. Label your Telescope on this screen if you want and then select update Stellarium. Accept the disclaimer, select mount as and connect.ġ1. You may have to select and exit properties before ‘OK’ is enabled.ġ0. net – select SynScanMobile Telescope in dropdown box. Run ASCOM diagnostics, tools, telescope chooser. Do a star align if you are ready and leave running.ĩ. In settings, select UDP, go back to main screen and connect (select eq or alt az). Note: you can do this part without the WiFi adaptor as it is only testing the software. Go back to main screen and ‘connect’ – you will need to select eq or alt az. In settings set to ‘emulator’ if you want to test first. OPTIONAL TEST STEP OTHERWISE GO TO STEP 8. Note that the unit ‘resets’ to factory settings if powered up and unaccessed for 24 hrs (I have also seen this as 1 hr but haven’t tried it).ħ. Connect to SynScan WiFi & open SynScan app, settings, WiFi and select Access Point mode (which is what I used as it seemed most straight forward). Download and install SynScan App (it will run either Alt Az or Eq mounts as needed)Ħ. Download ASCOM driver from Skywatcher & installĥ. Download ASCOM software & install (I used ASCOM Platform63) – do not run at this pointĤ. Download & install Stellarium Scope (I’m using v2016.12.26.330) – do not run at this pointģ.
Download & install Stellarium (I’m using v18) – do not run at this pointĢ. Note that you need to be connected to the SynScan WiFi network to control your scope.ġ. Hopefully this is straight forward cos there isn’t a lot of info on how to do this all in one place! I’ve had this working indoors this PM so I’m really excited to try it at night now. If there is a better way I am happy to update this guide. I will be using this with my Canon tethered to the PC by an active usb cable so I can do pretty much everything (bar focussing) indoors when it’s too cold outside!Īnyway, this how I did it. OK, my second guide, this took a bit more thinking about cos I haven’t used Stellarium before but I wanted a ‘single device’ option as my other stuff is IOS.
