How to connect Sky X Prof. with Autoslew

[MichiP]

Hello,

 

It seems that I'm doing something wrong. I'm trying to connect Sky X Prof. with Autoslew to control my DDM 85 but I'm not able to get in run. I had it run bevore I made a new setup, more than a year ago.

 

Could somebody be so kind to give me a short manual what I have to do?

 

Best regards,

Michael

Hi Michael,

For me it works the following way:

1) In the "Telescope" tab (from Menu "Display) press the "wheel" button (=mount setup)

2) In TSX mount setup choose "ASCOM Mount"

2) Then use "Settings" and select "Astrooptic Server Telescope"

3) Then "Connect"

Best,

Christian

Yes, that's what I did and it works (except I go via the POTH so I configure it in that first).

Hello,

 

thank you for the reply. I think I found the problem, I have no possibility to choose a ascom telescope. But I don't have the lastest version installed and bique is telling me that my subscription is out dated   They ear money with updates? To solve bugs you have to pay extra, thats bad customer support.

 

Best regards,

Michael

Hi!

 

I cant connect directly to Astrootik teleskope in TSX I get some ASCOM error dialogs and TSK crash, it only works through the POTH. I tried the steps Michael suggested.

I'm running WIndows 7 64-bit and Win 8.1-64 could that be the problem?

The reason I want to try direct connection is that the yellow telescope marker is not following the telescope when I move the tube with the red buttons in AS, it only follows when I slew, a bit annoing.  In Carte du ciel software the telescope marker is following.

Any ideas?

Hi!

 

I fixed one problem that the telescope marker is not following, it is just to uncheck "Quiet scope" in POTH.

But still cant get TSX to run with Astrooptik telescope.
