Bluetooth Adapter Ascom Query

Hi Cathy,

As I said on an earlier post I am more than happy with your Bluetooth Adapter and I just have a couple of queries concerning our setup (Orion XX14g AltAz with Synscan controller), Ascom drivers for this setup and Cartes u Ciel Planetarium software and Skysafari 4 Pro.

We use the Astroplanner V2 software to put together observation lists for the nights observing on Windows which can be emailed to the Android Skysafari program and note that it can be setup to work in concert with the planetarium software Cartes du Ciel 3.0.

You have stated that Cartes du Ciel 3.0 works with your Bluetooth Adapter.

Astroplanner has a native driver for our mount and now has an Ascom driver setup as well. Cartes du Ciel only works with Ascom drivers so do you know if I would need to use Ascom for both programs simultaneously ? On the Ascom site they state that the main platform doesnt support Synta mounts.

Finally as Skysafari has an alignment button on the telescope control interface can this be used instead of the Synscan controller alignment routine while using your adaptor.

I hope I have made sense and if not I wont be offended if you correct me....

Happy wife of skull
