Use Telescope control plugin to configure your connection:

To enable the plugin follow these steps:

- Go to Configuration Window from the side bar or press [F2]

- Select the Plugins tab

- Select the Telescope control plugin

- Check the "Load at startup" box in the options section

- Restart Stellarium

- Go to Plugins again

- Select the Telescope control plugin

- Press the configuration button

To configure the mount:

- Telescopes tab, press the Add button

- Check "Stellarium directly through a serial port"

- Enter a name for your mount under telescope properties

- scroll down in the telescope properties section and in the Device settings select "Meade LX200 (compatible)" from the drop down list

- Ok button

Now the device appears in under the telescopes tab with a number under # sign. This number is used to control the telescope

- Select the device and press connect button (After physical connection)

- To slew the telescope to an object, select it and use ctrl + the number of the telescope under the # sign.

For physical connection if your mount uses an RS232 and your PC doesn't, you may need an RS232 to USB converter.

Can you help with this problem?
