Hello Vincent

I'm not used to observe with KStars, but I've tested it when I began with TeenAstro. On the workbench, it seemed to work.

Something I didn't managed to deal with is Stellarium.
There is a part of code that is supposed to be replaced by another, but how to, I didn't find.

I didn't try with SkyCharts.

If someone as time and skill level to write a tutorial to connect TA to its favorite planetarium, it would be usefull for some of us.

Hi fred,

in fact, I'm still trying to understand, with an alt-az mount, the station is set up, starting in the south and horizontally.

We perform an alignment on 2 or 3 stars
.
I realize that I do not have the same coordinates on the software and the SHC.

so I checked the GPS coordinates in the software and the SHC, I am therefore wondering if my reduction calculations are correct.

I have a nema 17 with a 1/30 reduction and a 20 tooth pulley and the large one with 320 teeth  ( 320/20 x 30=480 )

if anyone has an answer?

Best regards

Vincent
