Works well with NexRemote, Stellarium, SkyTools 3, Cartes du Ciel, Nexcontroller, MaxIm DL, DeepSky, Starry Night, SkySafari, SkyMap, and NexStar Observer List (NSOL).
【Application scenes】One Washinglee cord is enough to connect PC/Laptop and your Celestron HC (Hand Controller) with RJ9 port(4P4C).【Adapter Cable】 USB to RJ9 (4P4C), Please double check the port of your HC( Hand Controller) before placing order.↳ Challenges Q&A and target suggestions.TSS Photo of the Day & Viewing Report of the Day.↳ Remote Imaging - Images and Discussions.PS, once you have done all this once, it makes a lot more sense. For all other planetarium programs that use the ASCOM drivers, start the ASCOM drivers and then start up your preferred planetarium program, then go to the telescope section and "connect scope". Just tell Stellarium to start the telescope control plugin at startup then configure it (still knowing the com port) and you should be RTR.
Now you can plug your USB to Serial cable back into your computer (if you unplugged it for some reason), wait for a couple of potatoes to give you computer a chance to recognize it then plug the RJ-11 into the base of the HC.įor Stellarium - Do not start the ASCOM drivers because Stellariuym does not need them. Now that this is done, turn on your mount, set time and date and location then do an alignment (I do this indoors with no scope attached and point the scope generally north then do a 1-star alignment selecting Polaris, you don't really even need to close, just hit enter then align and you should get an align success notice.
I'm sure there many tutorials on YT showing how to configure the Celestron telescope driver with the correct info. Remember this com port because the ASCOM and Celestron drivers need to know where to look for the data stream. In the new window, you'll see a drop-down showing a com port number, this will allow you to select a new com port.ĭevice Ports.jpg (7.55 KiB) Viewed 2879 times On the new window select the Port Setting tab, then click on the Advanced button. If you need to change it, highlight it then right-click, then click on properties. If your com port for the Prolific is not 1-4 should change it so it is.
Next, go to your device manager and look at the Ports (Com & LPT) section expand it and you should see what the attached image shows you.
Let your computer install then recognize it. Once these are installed then you can plug in your USB to Serial adapter cable.
Remember you have to download and install the ASCOM drivers plus the Celestron Telescope Driver. Of course, you can do this just as easily with Stellarium I would advise you to download SkyTech X, a free planetarium program. Okay, I just ops tested the cables I told you about on the Celestron GT goto mount because I have never used this mount in a way that requires it to be hooked up to a computer.
