You can however use the direction arrow keys on the hand controller to slew the mount and still have the external control app synchronized with it.Įdited by mclewis1, 31 August 2020 - 10:23 AM.Since version 1.1.0 Stellarium Mobile PLUS allows to control a GOTO telescope directly from the phone, by using NexStar/SynScan or LX200 serial protocols. When you use a mount control app connected through a hand controller you need to remember to not use the hand controller to initiate any gotos otherwise the external app will lose it's knowledge of where the mount is currently pointed (but can easily be re synchronized). Many many other mount control apps can be used if you enable the ASCOM platform and mount driver. Stellarium like a few other apps has the built in Celestron mount control interface, so it will not require additional software or drivers and will just connect through the physical hand controller or NexRemote. If you do the initial alignment via the physical hand controller or the software one (NexRemote) then you certainly also can have one of hundreds of other mount control apps initiating the mount gotos. If they (SS and SkyPortal, not CPWI) are used to perform the initial alignment they cannot be used to share control with another mount control app. SkySafari and SkyPortal (and CPWI) apps are unique and contain the hand controller functionality. It gets the information on where the telescope is pointing from the mount. I will keep you all informed of the outcome. Today I cannot test that but I will try first the suggestion of SkipW to change from J2000 to JNow. But, if the difference is just a few degrees then that can explain the offset. * Coordinate system settings (on Stellarium): not sure about the difference between J2000 and JNow. * User interface settings (on Stellarium): from introduction youtube movies people left this blank thus I do not expect a problem from here
The devise model is set to “Celestron NexStar (compatible) thus I do not expect a problem from here * Device setting (on Stellarium): cannot be a wrong serial port because otherwise the scope would not move. From what I can remember the offset distance was less than 15 degrees
* time difference between NexStar and Stellarium: cannot be because the difference UT time and summer time would be hour (or 15 degrees = 360 /24 hrs). * location coordinates: cannot be because maximum difference between Stellarium and NexStar would be 0.5 arc-sec (due to round the number to zero decimal places) I did a mental troubleshooting and the (easiest) possible reasons are:
