Hi Scott
I think you are right; I do not recall any Bluetooth comms option in SkySafari for mobile devices ie my IPad, nor my iPhone. I’ll have another look tonight.
SkySafari for laptop or desktop is quite different. There is a Bluetooth comms option in these programs.
What was your thinking behind using a Bluetooth connection?
I have set mine up more conventionally using SkySafari’s wifi comms facility:
Laptop/mobile device to SkyFi3 adaptor via wifi, then serial cable to my Argo Navis.
This works flawlessly and is quite robust.
Steve.

I have changed the scope settings as advised (Meade LX200 classic and alt/az goto). One thing I cannot find is changing the connection settings in Skysafari to bluetooth. It simply does not give me the option.
Also my ipad will not pick up the adapter via bluetooth settings. I've contacted Gary at Wildcard and he has sent me some great notes. I am running the adapter via a powerbank. It is flashing green (quickly initially after power on then the flashes slow down to about 1 per second). I've tuned bluetooth off and back on, turned my ipad off and back on, restored settings and it is up to date with latest ios.
My laptop will pick the adapter up on bluetooth but I can't install Skysafari on PC.
Has anyone else experienced similar issues or can provide some advice on what I'm not doing.
Many thanks
Scott
