Synscan app help

[Neil H]

Ok I have given up on using sky safari or stellariaum on my tablet linked to mount with Synscan Wi-Fi dongle , the Synscan app works but does any one know how to search for comets , I went to comets in the app in the search box I put 144P/Kushida then the timer start to spin and 10 minutes later still nothing 

Update from sky safari they sent me a link on how to link safari to the Synscan app and mount well tried all 4 times nothing same thing it will not connect to the telescope

Help says "the comet catalog requires regular updates from the Internet. Date of the comet data can be found in the comet catalog menu"

Thanks what I will have to do is get updates before I link to Wi-Fi dongle

Although, mine says 2022, and hitting the update button doesn't seem to have changed that?

Under stars the synscan app lists comets if that helps
