Sky Safari 5/Celestron Sky portal Celestron 8se.
Hi guys, just thought I would let you know what I did to get SS5 and control working on android and ipad tablet, I just worked it out today, direct connect only and have SkyQ1 accessory.
I updated my ipad with latest SS5 software from apple store and could not connect to telescope via SS5 even though I had connected directly to skyq 1 adapter.
Android Tablet...
SS5 - no software version yet
SS4 - no support for direct connect via skyq adapter.
Celestron Sky portal - latest version supports direct connnect, have set the scope settings to "celestron wifi" telescope.
Apple Ipad...
SS5 - Direct connect as usual, go into settings and select "Celestron wifi" as the scope.
Celestron Sky portal - latest version supports direct connnect, have set the scope settings to "celestron wifi" telescope.
This saved me looking at getting the bluetooth adapter and should work with other celestron mounts which use skyQ and I assume the inbuilt wifi on the new evolution mounts.
Remember when in settings to set cord wrap, slew limits and backlash.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Kon
