Controlling CG 5 GT mount from Stellarium

[MARS1960]

I have a CG-5 GT mount and am sitting in my kitchen, i have connected and configured with stellarium, (strangely i had to select skywatcher compatible as selecting celestron compatible wouldnt let me ok the configure) nearly all is good, my scope is connected, the correct com port is being used and i have my telescope reticule on screen.

But when i click on anything and then click slew nothing happens.

Yes - the same happened to me when I first set it up with a CG5GT. The solution is to enable Stellarium scope control with "Stellariumscope" - an add on that allows scope control:

No need to. The menus on the lefthand side of the screen leads you to the download section. http://welshdragoncomputing.ca/x/index.php/home/stellariumscope/download-stellariumscope An older version is available here http://www.bytearts.com/stellarium/index.html
