Stellarium

Telescope control options

Asked by Carole Pope

I have my mount controlled by Stellarium which I am pleased with, but I am wondering whether there are any options I can find out about such as a sync function for better accuracy. I can't seem to find much in the way of instructions.

No, at the moment (Stellarium 0.10.6) the Telescope Control plug-in can only send GOTO commands and receive the current position of the telescope.

If you are using Windows, you can use the third party program "StellariumScope" together with the ASCOM platform. It offers a "sync" function:

Can you help with this problem?
