another stellarium question

[M40]

Hello all, In stellarium when you connect to a telescope, there is a reticule shown. It used to track with the selected object but now it just stays exactly where it was when stellarium is first started.

So after ticking and unticking many boxes, could someone point me in the right direction as to what box I should tick or untick please.

Ta much

I am not an expert on Stellarium, but it looks like if you go to the icon along the bottom to the right of centre, that when highlighted says

"Move telescope to a given set of coordinates" and you will see if your telecope is connected or not and the yellow reticule does move when you move the telescope using the hand control buttons. and appears to be staying where I put it on a star so it must be tracking. 

Does that help?

Many thanks Laurence, I shall let you know tomorrow but my money is on you being right as I was selecting a star and slewing to the selected object rather than using the telescope icon.

As well as Stellarium I would recommend you take a look at SkEye. I find it less "fluffy" and more functional as a push to app.

Thanks Spile, not heard of that one, I will give it a look.

Nope wasn't that. I did notice that the eqmod software was configured to the "now" time whereas stellarium mount was configured to the "J2000" time. I changed stellarium to the "now" time and it started working. Not 100% convinced though as the stellarium telescope module still shows the "J2000" time, but hey, it's working at the minute 🤣
