Celestron 127 SLT PC connection issue

[despot67]

Hi all.

Well last night I thought Id have a go at controlling my goto scope with stellarium.

 

Got it connected and the software found the scope, designated the correct comm port and it clearly said connected.

 

The handset though on the scope kept stating an error whilst I had it connected to the pc and I could not get it to move via the software (I had done a three point alignment first).

 

Any idea's???????????

What was the error message ?

[Galactic Wanderer]

did you chose pc direct mode?

That can sometimes be the issue.

I will give it a go tonight as need to align first (heres hoping for a clear sky though).

 

I have managed to get my remote focusser to work today and aligned my red dot finder so hopefully I can do everything from the comfort of my pc/shed/observatory
