  1. For those wanting to set up the ASCOM driver in Stellarium here are the steps which I have just followed. Hope this is of help going forward:- Installation process:- 1) Download "Stellarium v0.19.3 " or newer for the NEW ASCOM plugin for telescopes 2) Start Stellarium Press F2 to open the Configuration Menu in Stellarium 3) Select the Plug-in Tab 4) Scroll down and Select the "Telescope Control" plug-in 5) If the "Load at Start-Up" Option is NOT ticked. Then Tick it and save settings and restart Stellarium 6) Press the "Configure" button in the "Telescope Control" Menu 7) Click the "Add Telescope" button. 3rd Button from the left bottom [Hover over the button to see the text] 8) Select "ASCOM" in the "Telescope Controlled by" section 9) In the "Telescope Properties" section [You may need to scroll up/ down to see all options]: - Enter a Name - Example - "EQMOD SIMULATION" 10) In the "ASCOM Settings" menu click the "Choose ASCOM Telescope" button and follow the prompts in the ACOM Telescope section to select the required ASCOM Driver 11) Click "OK" button to finish setup 12) Select connect and you should see the relevant ASCOM linked telescope control panel
  2. Well if you do pluck up the courage I'd be keen to know the results! PHD2 is moaning big time about the EQ6-R PRO DEC backlash. I might have a go at tightening the centre tensioning grub screen. Here's a link to a YouTube video about this
  3. Has anybody documented EQ6-R Pro teardowns or rebuilds ?
  4. Hi Please can I request instructions for Polar Alignment of my "Skywatcher Star Adventurer". Unfortunately the instructions in the Manual are very difficult to understand. I have seen similar instructions for other mounts such as HEQ5 but they do not quite translate for the "Star Adventurer". Pictures would also be nice as would be details of an appropriate Polar Align APP.
