I have DSO ticked but it doesn't give me any more options? Using Stellarium 23.3

My laptop that I use to control the imaging rig shows lots of galaxies. My stellarium on my desktop doesn't show them how can I get Stellarium to show as many galaxies as possible?

When I click omn the magnifying glass a list comes up presumably of stuff I've looked up before. However if I search say M109 which I haven't looked for previously until a few days ago it is not included in the list same for Comet 12P I have to type it every time. How do I get it to keep things I have searched for in the list.

I've just double clicked the image then drawn a draw box round it but it doesn't stay there when I release the mouse and the Analyse section stays greyed out.

I'm trying to0 use it on a full disc moon image. I can't get pas the detect /roi stage to get to register. Nothing happens when I click those buttons. Any suggestions anyone?

I feel better already!

Ahem! How do I pu this? The mount wasn't powered on! Thanks for asll the herlp guys. I'll get me coat!

Theres just 1 COM port showing in Device manager - USB COM3

Yes 9600 in Device Manager and in EQMOD still wont connect.

I have COM port in Device Manager showing COM3 and have set this in EQUASCOM toolbox but it still fails to connect. What else do I need to do?

I have installed the ASDCOM platform and EQMOD but when I try and run EQMOD RUN it flashes up for a split second over and over.

I have been imaging three years and I'm now setting up a new pc with all the software etc. I knew the hardest part would be re the COM port for the EQMOD cable to connect to my HEQ5 mount, I recall lots of grief over it. I have downloaded the FTDI driver but what next? Looking at Device manager in my old - working - laptop there is no COM port mentioned in the list.

I have a Polemaster I use with my EQ35PRO mount. I have just got a Star Adventure. I didn't think the POlemastrer fit this? The hole in the mount is too small?

I am only on to the 2nd evening of trying to control my EQM-35 PRO with EQMOD via SharpCap and Stellarium. Last night it took 10-20 seconds for the mount to respond to an instruction. Tonight it was briefly instant for about 30 seconds, now it won’t move the mount at all and occasionally stops responding when its not responding SharpCap doesn’t respond to any instructions either. EQMOD does connect to the mount OK. I am running a Windows PRO HP Laptop i3 with 16Gb RAM and a 1Tb SSD. I would very much appreciate some help.

Success! Up and running on old laptop now to do the same on the laptop I will most likely be using (my wifes). They both had same COM but both set at 115200 because it was recommended on a video I watched. Haven't managed to get Stellarium controlling the mount as yet which it has been at certain points in the past.

Thanks for helping Malcolm. I have the Port COM5 the only one in Device Manager showing and righ clicked and the options are Update Driver, Disable Device, Uninstall Device, Scan for Hardware Ones so could you clarify which one you refer to ?

No I didn't tell it to uninstall the driver.

I had this working in the house and now I have set it up outside I can't connect using SharpCap 4.0 . Device Manager and EQASCOM toolbox both show COM 4. They did both show COM5 until a few minutes ago when I uninstalled COM4 on Device Manager and it came back with COM4 so I changed that in EQASCOM toolbox but still get timeout error. I'm lost as to what to try now.

Do some mounts have a GPS in then?

I am not aware of a GPS on the mount or on the laptop so wheres does GPS come in?

Well what do you mean by GPS? I didn't know it was invloved.

GPS??

O right well I have my location in correctly so thats not the problem. I have had SharpCap and Stellarium controlling my mount on 2 different laptops indoors. I have taken it outside now I can't get a connection to the mount.

I have this same problem same message. Did you sort it? I can't aee where he means re '67' ?

I have seen other thread that say change the star detection but I still get it with the setting at 2%. Basically all there is in the frames is a tiny image of Jupiter and I had to lower the exposure to be able to get the bands in so that is the only object in the frames. How can I stack them?
