I wanted to prove the latest version of Stellarium 0.20.3 which is now Ascom supported and therefore you no longer require the old 3rd party driver StellariumScope
Happy to share if your interested, I just need your mount details and what version of Stellarium your using

Thanks Martin.
I have had a good look at the instructions - much appreciated for newbies like me!
As soon as it gets a bit darker I'll try to polar align and see how I go from there.
Thanks,
Lisa
