Slew Mesu 200 with Stellarium??

[Skipper Billy]

When I set up my Mesu 200 I followed the instructions to the letter and part of that was using Carte du Ciel 

I have tried to love CdC but I cant - I still much prefer Stellarium. CdC works brilliantly with the Mesu but its not for me.

I understand that the latest versions of Stellarium do not require the use of Stellarium Scope as a separate programme.

So last night the seeing was dire so I tried to connect Stellarium to my Mesu.

I got the Configuration - Telescope control and despite trying every combination of the connection options I could get it to work.

Out of curiosity I downloaded Stellarium Scope and it connected first time !

Any suggestions anyone???  I am using Stellarium v0.19.1

Hi,  i also prefer to use stellarium instead of cdc.

To control your mount using stellarium without stellarium scope is not implemented yet on the main version. You'll have to download the test version(I'll try to check the link and post here) or  use it with stellarium scope for the moment. 

Edit: this is where it's discussed https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium/issues/406

And this is the link for an install file(also posted in the discussion above): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hgTWKgmOgYq2OFNchOLdZxLgpZlKXPi7?usp=sharing

Thanks Frank - that's extremely helpful.

Just a wee update

The beta version in Frank's link works beautifully.

Connected first time.
