Connecting AZ GTI mount to Stellarium on PC via Wi-Fi help

[Andrew stuart]

I need a breakdown of instructions please on how to get my AZ GTI mount to connect to Stellarium on my PC via Wi-Fi. I have searched online and am still non the wiser. If it is not possible what is the correct cable from the mount to the PC, running in AZ only. Many thanks in advance.

Hi Andrew.

Download the SynScan app for Windows from the Skywatcher website. 

In Stellarium add a telescope mount as follows (you need to scroll the lower part of the screen down to get the Connections Settings entered)

Then power up the AZ GTi 

Connect your laptop wifi to the SynScan_aann wireless network 

Start the Synscan app and connect to the telescope  - 

Align the telescope using Synscan app (I'm not sure if this is necessary, but I do it)  

Connect to the telescope

You should then be able to Select Objects in Stellarium and GOTO them

(Current position in Red, Selected object in Blue)
