Issues with Ascom

[StargazerUK]

Hi,

I have a Skywatcher Star Discovery 150 and I have recently purchased a zwo asi585mc camera for it. Until now I have been using the synscan pro app on my phone to control the mount but I am trying to get the laptop setup to control everything.

I have installed:

synscan pro app (for windows) 2.4.5

Sharpcap 4.0

Stellarium 23.2.0

Ascom platform 6.6SP2

Ascom Synscan app driver 1.4.0

 

I can get the synscan app to connect to the mount and control it fine, I can also get Stellarium to connect with the synscan app and control the mount (connecting via port 10001) but if I go onto ascom device hub or sharpcap and select the synscan app driver it fails to connect. When I click into properties there is an option for remote port which I have not seen in any of the videos or pictures I have seen about setting up the device hub.

Please can someone guide me to what settings I should be using or what I am doing wrong. 

 

Thanks

Are you using the skywhatcher wifi dongle on you mount

Bit of a long shot maybe but I recently restarted my Neq6 mount after having Ascom problems where I had to use the GS server from the Green Swamp site to connect to my laptop. Post here if interested!.

It has built in wifi, so don't need a dongle but it is wifi connection through the synscan app
