Hi Joel,
To use the star sense with a sky watcher mount you need the controller box that you mention. There is no difference between the celestron version and the SW version apart from that box. The camera and hand controllers are the same.
Unfortunately there is no work around that I’m aware of. Computer software to use star sense directly is celestron specific, and essentially only CPWI which doesn’t work with sky watcher mounts as far as star sense is concerned. Star sense for SW doesn’t work over ascom either.
Team celestron are a good source of info and answers. And my extensive attempts and answers were from them. I was basically trying to get starsense for SW to work over ascom or directly using sky safari.....both were a no go, and the official answer from team celestron!
It works great with the hand controller though. (And the box!)
Cheers
Hemi
