CGX Mount

Herbert

Becoming a Great Fan of Asiair Pro using my Skywatcher Mount. Recently i bought a Celestron CGX mount and become very sad recognizing Limited support ofAAP for this Mount. Will there be a solution in the furure? Thanks a lot

What do you mean by "Limited support"? I reckon maybe the same things as others have mentioned in this forum. Since Celestron does not care about ZWO and ASIAIR, it is hard for us to incorporate a number of major improvements alone.

What is it you need from Celestron? They use the same USB chips as Sky Watcher so they are able to connect via USB or WiFi/Network and there are ASCOM standard drivers easily had, and Celestron Mounts work on all other software (PC/Mac/Linux/Pi)... it's only the ZWO ASIAir that Celestron Mounts don't fully work on.

I don't see how this involves Celestron? BTW - I am part of Celestron's beta team and have access to their developer forums, so if you can share what you need, I can post something there and see what type of response I can get.

I understand it works on PC or Mac, are you sure it also works on RaspberryPi flawlessly just on our ASIAIR?
What exacly did these "Limited support" include? I mean since you are part of Celestron's beta team, I think it is a great opportunity to get everything straight then let's see if you need to be the messager.

I'd missed there was a reply here waiting for me @tech@zwo

Here's a link to the RasberryPi INDI driver to directly control a Celestron mount via USB with the AUX protocols. https://indilib.org/telescopes/celestron/celestron-aux-driver.html

It is now November 2022. Should there be a response here? Has the plus fixed all of the CGX / CGX-L issues?

KnightLite Many other users reported CGX/CGX-L works with ASIAIR. Also, some videos on YouTube.
