Drivers tried: Meade AutoStar compatible, Meade ETX70 (#494 Autostar, #506 CCS), and Meade LX200 (Compatible). I tried setting up the telescope using all three Meade drivers in Stellarium but ended up with the same result. My ability to navigate the sky without technology is, unfortunately, quite terrible - something I hope to improve in the future.ġ) I have a Windows 7 Professional PC 64bit on which I have Stellarium installed (version 0.12.4).Ģ) My Meade ETX 125 (running #497 Autostar) is connected to the PC using a compatible serial cable adapter via the Meade #505 cable connector set that came with the telescope - Connected via the hand controller on the telescope.ģ) The COM port has been verified as being COM3 (which I entered into the Stellarium telescope configuration window).Ĥ) Before connecting the the telescope to the PC I made sure that it is aligned.ĥ) When I click "Start" status on the Stellarium elescope configuration window shows that it is connected but it does not appear on screen (crosshairs), not am I able to slew it. It is important to mention that I know very little about telescopes and stellar navigation in general which was why I purchased a "Go-To" telescope to begin with. In my excitement to be back on the gazing track I decided to try using my telescope in combination with Stellarium as I have heard great things about how intuitive this software can be.
My telescope has been sitting idle for a few years, due an addition to the familiy, but it seems I will once again have enough time to bring it out of its temporary retirement. Over the last few days I have been struggling with a particular issue related to connecting my Meade ETX-125 to Stellarium and having it function.
