I’m sitting next to my scope now and will go through the setup steps in the hope the detail will help solve the issue.
EQ5Pro mount with synscan running the latest update
COM port 3 connected directly to synscan handset
Com port to connected to ZWOASI034MC camera
No ST4 cables connected.
Steps –
Turn on mount – select PC direct
Open EQASCOM Toolbox – hit ASCOM CONNECT
EQMOD HEQ5/6 V1.29a opens. Gives control of scope…….I guess I’m good to here as it works? (minimize this screen)
Open PHD2
Hit USB button on bottom left
Connect to ZWO ASI Camera and EQMOD ASCOM HEQ5/6 Mount – both connect fine
Hit Loop – Static appears but imaging is there (guess the static has to do with no focus/it’s daylight hours…..I can focus it at night)
Click on the picture (static) and it tries to find a star but reports “Star lost – low mass/DNR”
Guessing I’m still all good to hear right????
Now is where my troubles start……..
Open PHT.
Announces “Camera Connected” on open. Clicking live view gives me what looks like a library picture in B$W (unless I have a nebula in my lounge room I don’t know about).
Go to GEAR tab. Click CONNECT SCOPE – reports “Telescope Disconnected”
…..so to me it looks like I’ve gone through every step and now on the very last hurdle Mr APT wont let me play.
Any ideas people? I hate being so close …..well think I’m close!
