ASIAIR Connect to HEQ5 M0unt andy@... #885 Hi Does anyone know how to set up the ASIAIR to a Skywatcher HEQ5 mount? I have the ASIAIR connected to the mount using an RS232 cable to the handset and an RS232 cable to the mount via usb, When I try to connect the software to the Telescope Using the Sky Watcher SynScan Beta Serial RS232 Baud 9600 I just get a message saying Connect failed Please make sure the USB to Serial cable is connected. Has anyone got any ideas as I want to use it for guiding.

Re: ASIAIR Connect to HEQ5 M0unt andy@... #887 Thanks Michael I hadn't seen that and to be honest each time I have tried to set it up it has been in the day so no star alignment was done. I am hoping for a clear night tonight so I will try to connect it again later. I am going to Lincoln tomorrow and I was hoping for a bit less light pollution there so I could take some images if I can get it all connected.

Re: ASIAIR Connect to HEQ5 M0unt Michael Morris #888 You could easily test it in daylight by simply going through the alignment routine and just confirm the alignment step, either though they aren't actually aligned. Get Outlook for Android

FOR SALE - Skywatcher EQ8 mount + extras Michael Morris #891 EQ8 mount + pier plate and extra counterweight I've recently moved house and I am currently without an observatory and little realistic prospect of building a new one in the next couple of years. So it is with a heavy heart that I'm putting my 2 year old Skywatcher EQ8 mount up for sale. It comes with 2 x 10 kg counterweights, power lead (not in photos) and Synscan controller. No tripod. Also included in the sale is a pier plate and pier extension block + an extra 7kg counterweight. £1795

Re: Upcoming Event: Space Day at the Hive - UPDATE - Sat, 05.10.2019 10:30am-4:00pm #cal-reminder Christopher J Baddiley #902 Oh what a shame. I have a stand and assumed that the Astro.
