More Stellarium questions

[bcfcciderhead]

Been using Stellarium to control my Skywatcher 130P, on a AZ mount.

I now plan on using Stellarium to control my Skywatcher 200P, on a EQ5 mount.

Do i need to do anything to Stellarium to tell it that the mount has changed?, from an AZ to a EQ?

I'm thinking not as it just tells the scope where to point, but not sure

Yes, you need to reconfigure the telescope control plug-in for the EQ mount. If you are using a V3 handset select the Skywatcher EQ V3 handset option. For the earlier V2 handset use the Celestron Nexstar compatible driver.

Thanks Peter, will have a play later tonight......indoors thanks to the weather.

You really are the GOTO guru, every GOTO question i see on here you have the answer, top bloke

[Cornelius Varley]

I think I have had some of same problems most people have had with goto mounts over the past few years (date format, log/lat etc). I still do occasionally.

Just been looking at the "plug in" tab and it has option for a Skywatcher version 3 but no mention of eq, is this the one i select?
