Problems Setting Up Stellarium

[Kepler 3]

Hi,

I just got Stellarium to control my telescope- my mount is an Orion Atlas. I configured my telescope and it shows that it is connected. I aligned the scope, but Stellarium doesn't show where my scope is pointed and when I click on a particular star I hold Ctrl and press 1 (my scope) but my scope doesn't slew to that star. I have Stellarium 0.19.0. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Dick,

Have you installed Stellarium scope as well as stellarium?

stellariumscope

If not then download and follow the instructions on the website.

Stellariumscope isn't required. It is only needed if you are using an external driver such as ascom or eqmod

From the Configuration window go to the telescope configuration page and look under the options tab. There is a button for switching the telescope reticle on,
