Com port on the PC is fine, as using TheSky I can control everything on the telescope except NSEW. To clarify, I have done the following from the PC:
- Park
- Set initialisation params (location, time, zone, etc)
- Goto location
- Sync
- Jog by x degrees/mins/seconds in any NSEW direction
I simply can't "move" in NSEW.
I haven't tried autoguiding but am assuming it won't work, as I expectit uses "move" type functionality not "jog" type functionality. Besides, it's near on impossible to centre an object using Jog - quite teadious.
