telescope plug in problem

Please check version 0.15.1

Hi I had upped the version to 0.15.1 initially and that is where the problem occurred, I have 0.15.1 on my PC and it works fine, I installed version 14.3 on the mac as it has a different version of the telescope plug in, I will go back a few more versions if necessary

Please show log from Stellarium (available through F1 within planetarium) on the macOS.

Hi

see below, a couple of points are clear (even to me) the mac os version is not supported on the build and the application support is not in the library

I will see if I can sort this out but would appreciate any suggestions, or any thing else that is apparent with the log info

regards

Bill

Sorry, but seems you are not defined mount of telescope. Why you are waiting of correct work?

Hi

the problem seems to be that I can't define the mount (Lx200) when I choose that from the menu or the Port choice nothing happens, the beachball spins and there is nothing in the list of telescopes, I have tried all the variations of the without anything appearing on the list of telescopes

regards

Bill

Are you tried read the help in Telescope Control plugin?

Yes. It didn't help

As I have mentioned I have this set up on a pc as well and it works without any problem, it is a straight forward procedure, when I try to add a telescope on my mac, nothing happens, I have checked the info in application support and my input has been recorded , but no telescopes appear on the list and hence I have no way to control my Lx200.

Regards

Bill

Please read 'Device settings' section in Help window in Telescope Control plugin.

Hi Guys, I have the exact same problem described here by Bill Beaton, any other suggestions other than "read the Help" ?
Bill, have you managed to get it working?
I am running Sierra and I have a Synscan GOTO but I cannot even add a dummy telescope.

Hi

it works fine on my work PC laptop but not on my Mac desktop iMac 21.5” running Siera 10.12.3

it does however work fine on my wife's old 13” MacBook running the same OS

the laptop is more convenient anyway so I have abandoned the iMac meantime
the plug in simply refused to install anything

regards

Bill
