Skywatcher Alt Az with GPS mouse

[Rover]

Will the skywatcher alt az mount work with the skywatcher GPS mouse?

I believe that you need the firmware to be 3.1 for it to recognise it but I have had a look on the Skywatcher Website and when I have a look at the firmware for the Alt Az mounts it is only upto 3.08.

Does that mean it isn't compatible with Alt Az mounts?

There two different firmwares for the Syscan handset. The current version for the EQ mount is EQ v3.27 and the AZ GOTO firmwarre is AZ v3.08. The AZGOTO mount is compatible with the GPS mouse according to page 12 of the AZ manual (Utilities Functions)

OK thank you for letting me know. I went back to have another go after your reply and it picked it up this time. No idea why it didn't, same setup and power was off when it was all setup. Anyway it appears to be working now.

Thanks again for your help.
