The most important function for me is the ability to “Sync” points ( Stars ) around the night sky as I navigate towards my intended target. The more points I “sync” in EQMOD via my StellariumScope CTRL +3 function the more accurate my Goto becomes due to the sophisticated algorithms and pointing model created in EQMOD
Finding objects ( even the dimmer galaxies ) using EQMOD with the sync function is relatively easy , and in “some cases” the objects appears perfectly framed ready to image, thats how accurate it is
StellariumScope is the in between program which allows slew, sync and cancel functions when using Stellarium by intercepting the Goto commands coming out of Stellarium’s tcp Port and maps them on to a few selected Ascom commands
I believe StellariumScope was created to allow EQMOD users to navigate using Stellarium, whereas Cartes Du Ceil was the preferred planetarium being supported by Ascom
All I need to know is how to “sync” points using Stellarium Ascom and I’m happy to jump ship and no longer use StellariumScope
So confusing hey ......
