I have been using the new version of stellarium scope with stellarium 10.5 and it seems to work very well. It is a time limited version, and it appears that as there has been no feedback they may stop supporting it.

If anyone is having problems with their previous versions it may be useful to give this a go as it installs very easily indeed.
