Hi,
I’m getting closer to completing my setup, but I’m having trouble getting my mount to connect to my laptop.
This is what I’ve done so far.
My mount HEQ Pro 5 mount, using a shoestring USB connection direct to the mount bypassing the hand controller.
Laptop running win7, with ASCOM loaded and celstron telecope drivers / Syanta Skywatcher mount.
All the parameters have been set in, checked in ASCOM for available com ports . Tried each one of these ports and it just comes up with a message.
There doesn’t seem to be a celestron telescope connected.
It doesn’t seem to matter whether I check through ASCOM, or in Guide 8.
Any idea’s ??
Any tips appreciated.
Cheers,
Justin.
