Have you heard of PEC Training yet? That's something you'll want to do on your AVX. When setting up a Sequence I select the target in Stellarium and then in NINA I push the 'Get coordinates.' button so that NINA knows what target to Plate Solve Stellarium is my Planetarium software in NINA. CPWI is very basic when it comes to that kind of thing, but I'm very much OK with that.Ģ. Together though, they're a winning combo! With Stellarium I can go forward in time and see what targets I want to set in the Sequence and I also can zoom in to see what the target looks like. As much as I love CPWI the one aspect that isn't great is the ability to "see and navigate" like you can in Stellarium. I use Stellarium for two main reason and one has to do with CPWI:ġ. Easier than with the GOTO handset.I use it every night I image!!! From the first night I tried it I loved it. The telescope starts to move to the desired sky object. Select an object in the sky and press CTRL 1 (if this is your first telescope in the list). It's easy to find and can be used in a one star alignment.Īfter that I started Stellarium and presto, the telescope view was visible. I usually point the telescope to the Polaris. The option to connect the telescope when Stellarium is started should be selected. Give it a convenient name and choose the appropriate kind of telescope you're using. Here you should select the telescope plugin. In Stellarium go to the settings and select plugins.

Probably not in other versions too, but I haven't tested these.Ĭonnect the serial cable to your RS232 port (or USB to RS232 cable) and your handset of your telescope (not to the AUX of guided input).

There is absolutely no need to install any driver when you're using the 12.04 LTS and in 20.04 LTS version of Ubuntu. In Ubuntu getting the telescope to work is easier than in Windows. Use your linux login name and not your fancy name.Ĭrw-rw- 1 root dialout 188, 0 dec 22 23:01 /dev/ttyUSB0 VERY IMPORTANT and almost NEVER read in any tutorial:įirst add yourself to the DIALOUT group and reboot to have these rights to take effect. In Ubuntu everything works out of the box, after some tweaking of settings. You need to install lots of drivers and software before thing work.

In this section I will explain how to get the connection between Ubuntu and Stellarium to work in Ubuntu.įor windows though you can find many tutorials on Youtube.
