Telescope Control for Synta mounts eg: Skywatcher Orion or Saxon EQ5, HEQ5, EQ6,NEQ6, AZEQ6, and EQ6-R mounts
#Stellarium telescope control plugin download driver#
( NB: Stellarium Scope no longer required as driver interface ) Telescope Control via EQMOD and Stellarium ( using Ascom and EQ Direct Cable ) As your Saxon HEQ5 has only the RJ45 handcontroller port ( forget about the handcontroller itself having a USB port, we are not using it ) here is the procedure for getting up and running with EQMOD and Stellarium with Ascom and EQ Direct using your custom RJ45 to USB2 EQ Direct cable The post to Peter in the Beginners section was for a new mount that has the USB2B port cable connection. This is the first decent information I have been able to find on the difference. Thank you very much for your post in the beginners equipment section. What you've suggested with Stellarium is what I had in mind. I only purchased the mount a few weeks ago and was told that I had one of the newer HEQ5s that has the 'dual' mounting plate that the equivalent Skywatcher has, but that the HEQ didn't have until 'recently' (not sure what definition of recent was being used). I'm just trying to get everything talking to each other and properly installed (in the comfort of my office) before I lug it all downstairs to the relative discomfort of my garage so I can start schlepping up the steeper part of learning curve.Īs for the mount and hand-controller, yes you are correct: the mount has an RJ45 for the hand controller and an RJ12 for auto-guiding the hand-controller has an RJ45, an RJ12, and USB2B. For those few I simply haven't done yet, I am quite sure I'll be OK. I am very new to all of this but have successfully been able to get through most of the things on the list.
