HEQ6-PRO-AISAIR-SKY-SAFARI 6 issue with connecting

tennyson

Hi All,

Looking for a little help...

ASIAIR is working fine with my Sky-Watcher HEQ6-Pro mount. In the AISAIR telescope settings i am using EQMod with SkySafari and the Serial shows USB-RS232.

In SkySafari 6 Pro under telescope settings.

Scope Type I have input SkyWatcher SynScan

IP Address 10.0.0.1

Port Number 4040

SkySafari 6 Pro tells me it can make a wifi connection BUT it cannot connect to the scope.

:| What am I doing wrong?

tennyson

I should also add, in the Skysafari settings I have been using Port Number 4030 as per the manual . Still no joy.

tennyson

I guess the issue is Sky-Safari does not support EQMOD...

In SkySafari try setting your scope to Meade 200 Classic

Hi Sutton,

Thanks for responding with your suggestion but unfortunately it did not work for me. Does it work for you?

Has anyone managed to get this combination to work?

tennyson

I have managed to make it work.

For me this worked:-

In Safari 6 Pro settings.

Under user data

Click save and restore settings.

Under current settings

Click Revert charts to factory defaults

Click Done

Now go back into settings

Under Telescope set up change scope to Meade LX200 Classic, as suggested by Suttonrog, (Thanks for that)

Change mount to Equatorial (German)

Under Communication settings

IP Address 10.0.0.1

Port Number 9624

Really hope that helps someone

Thanks for these suggestions...

Have an EQ6R-Pro and was planning on using an Intel NUC to run the mount and scopes.

I've been so pleased with the original ASIAir (using with iPad and SkySafari Pro), and just ordered the Pro version.

It has been suggested to use the following settings - do these still apply with the new 1.4 update? For the AVX, the Celestron AVX GEM setting works for me, and using the IP 10.0.0.1 and Port Number 4030.

In Safari 6 Pro settings.

Under user data

Click save and restore settings.

Under current settings

Click Revert charts to factory defaults

Click Done

Change mount to Equatorial (German)

Under Communication settings

IP Address 10.0.0.1

Port Number 9624

Will move the ASIAir over to the EQ6R-Pro mount and test how these settings work.

It was mentioned to use EQMOD - I've got EQMOD working on W10pro - is there something I'm missing? Where does the EQMOD fit into the hardware & software and ASIAir?

Welcome any suggestions to flatten the learning curve with the new mount and ASIAir.

Thanks, Jim

Hey Jim, the EQMOD driver has been integrated into the ASIAIR, so you can use it like you use the AVX mount. In the Mount drop list, you can choose or to use it with your EQ6R-Pro.

Got it - will be testing later tonight. Jim
