Evolution 8 Skyportal connection


Recommended Posts

I decided to start using the Evolution wifi connection via Skyportal to control the mount when I am doing solar viewing.

The hand book states you should see a wifi link showing 'SkyQlink xxx' on the mobile you are using to connect, however mine shows 'Celestron  G8 ' and refuses to connect. Anyone else seen this?

I have the Skyportal software on my samsunsung phone and it is the updated version.

I have a skyportal wifi module for my AVX - the naming of the wifi connection is Celestron ### so I would guess the Evolution hand book is just out of date. 

I've never had any problems connecting to mine - but it is the external module. You might want to check the version of firmware in your Evolution mount - looking at the history there have been some fixes for the wifi module -  Celestron Firmware update history
