Problems connecting SkySafari to Synscan via serial cable
I am trying to connect Skysafari on my MacBook Pro to the Synscan goto system on my mount via a serial cable but I get the following error message in Skysafari:
"Connection failure - SkySafari 6 Plus can make a TCP/IP network connection to the telescope's IP address, but the scope is not responding. Make sure it is connected and powered on. Also check that your scope type is correct."
Yes, the mount is powered on and fully initialised, although I am not sure what menu item I should have open. There does not appear to be an obvious menu item. I have version 3.27 (The mount is actually a Vixen GPD with a complete Synscan goto upgrade). I have the scope type set to Skywatcher Synscan and the mount type set to Equatorial goto (German) in the Skysafari Telescope set up window.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
