Help Star Atlas Pro telescope control

[Exfso (Peter)]

I am trying to install the drivers for my Losmandy mount so I can operate it from the laptop. I am in more of a mess than the first settlers, I have looked at the help file and supposedly done what it says, but there are no drivers for the Gemini on the mount. At present I am ready to take to the program with a hammer...Grrrrrrrr

[h0ughy (David)]

use the ascom driver

[h0ughy (David)]

download the Gemini 1.08 ascom driver

Thanks David, wish they told me that in the destructions. Now to find it...

Ok now I have downloaded it, I gather it gets put into the same folder that Star Atlas pro was installed??

Hello Exfso,

STAR Atlas PRO drives the G-11 Gemini mount perfectly. You have two choices for driving the G-11. First you can use the inbuilt STAR Atlas PRO LX-200 driver (compatible with the G-11) or you can install the Ascom driver which comes on the install disc as explained in the install instructions. Though as the install instructions recommend, you can download the latest ASCOM driver for the latest driver features. If you require assistance getting it going then please feel free to email me at paulm@staratlaspro.com along with your STAR Atlas PRO CD-Key number and I'll be delighted to assist you.

regards
Paul
