Hi I use polar alignment pro it's ok but it's out a tiny bit , I only use it if I have to set up on my patio , so you can trust it to be 100% right
-
Hi I did have that software but it had stars missing from lists and all stars in the plough were out of altitude you won't know till you link to your telescope that's when you find out it's not working it will not goto any star unless it's Polaris

Hi Steve I think I tried most of that , I am going dongle less for the time being and see if they do a fix for Android 11, I will use stellariaum and sky safari for targets
May be in the future if I go back to a dongle we could meet up as see if you can make it all work I am just down the road from you in Luton

Hi Steve yes I did and it didn't work that's when I was asked to try 11882
-
Hi yes I think so I will check again
Yes I did I just checked , I think it's now got to a point of getting refund on Wi-Fi dongle and just use tablet for target info etc

Hi yes I have it on my phone and tablet so hoping the tablet will work ok with Synscan app
-
Yeah a real pain , I don't give up easy I really downloaded everything again just in case something strange happened when downloading, sky watcher are looking into it so are sky safari
Just wonder if I can use stellariaum and how do I go about getting stellariaum to talk to the Synscan dongle
-
Hi as you may know I am having problems with Synscan app and star safari 6 pro , I can't get it working on a brand new tablet running Android 11
Shall I try stellariaum and see if that works can some one tell me how to set up please

Hi everyone I am having problems so I will list equipment and then the problem I am having
HEQ5pro mount
SW Wi-Fi dongle
Samsung galaxy tab 7 Lite running Android 11
Ok I have the Synscan app downloaded from sky watcher web site now the main problem is most of the star list is missing I was trying to find Alcor which does not come up in any list , wookie1965 sent me a video were he touched the magnify glass and as he typed in Alcor the star came up top of the list then touched goto
When I do the same as I type the name in the star list goes off the screen and it cant find Alcor ?
The next problem is with sky safari 6 pro , this is hard to explain I can touch Polaris and the mount goes to it , then it I touch dubhe the mount does not move but on the screen shows coordinates changing but mount is not moving ?
This does this on lots of targets the mount don't move but shows coordinates changing as if the mount is moving
Also I found if I use this app on my old galaxy S6 it works and shows the full star list . So I wonder if it's due to Android 11

Hi I use the celestron power pack the big one I can run telescope and dew heaters it's rated for 10 hours I have not done 10 hours but does last a long time

Hi yes has a really big data base , also gives you what's best targets for the night your out , you can also add your own list of targets to work through plus it can link to your telescope so no hand set is needed
-
Hi thanks for info I think my phone memory is tiny and it won't load , so I am looking at a tablet just to run telescope and astronomy apps , I think this one may be a good bet
-
No I didn't thanks for the heads up

I do have stellariaum plus so will use that for now , the best route may be a second hand smart phone I can get a galaxy 8+ for about 160

Thanks for the info I will have a look at a tablet what sort of spec would you say I need sorry in thick mode today

If I am working on anything with tiny bolts of washers I put a sheet down and work over that due to the fact I lost a tiny bolt and washer well over 7 years ago and still not found it in the rug
Glad the belt mod helped your guiding I did mine just to stop the rattles, well done finding the washer
