Installation and set-up Stellarium, EQMOD, (ACSOM ) and Stellarium Scope

The absolute must before installing Stellarium is to have the very latest video card drivers installed on your computer and even then there may be some issues.

Note: Stellarium comes with some built-in Telescope control software

* Celestron NextStar or compatible telescope
* Losmandy G11
* Meade AutoStar
* Meade ETX 70
* Meade LX200
* Sky Watcher
* Wildcard Innovations Argo Navis

However, if you want to use the EQMOD interface and Stellarium, which looks like the below:

Step 1 Find your telescope (USB to Serial) com port on your computer.

Control Panel -> Device Manager -> Ports (COM&LPT) to see the various com ports, eg Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port (COM3)

Step 2: Start StellariumScope

2.1: Click on the browse button with 3 dots on it, and the ASCOM Telescope Chooser window is displayed.

2.2: Select "EQMOD ASCOM EQ5/6" from the dropdown box.

2.3: Click on "Properties" button.

The ASCOM Setup window is displayed.

Enter your data for Latitude, Longitude, Elevation, Hemisphere and select your com port, e.g. COM3, and click OK.

2.4: Check the little white box "Connect".

2.5: The EQMOD ASCOM DRIVER screen should appear.

2.6: Click on the "SETUP" button to display the full window.

Step 3: Back to StellariumScope panel

3.1: Click on “Options” drop down menu, then select “Modify Stellarium Command line”

3.2: The command line window is displayed, enter the directory containing "Stellarium" and click OK.

3.3: Press "Update Stellarium Configuration" button

3.4: Press "Start Stellarium" button and Stellarium should start

Step 4 On Stellarium, select the “Location” window

Add same location as done earlier in step 2.

4.1: Select “Configuration” window and click on "Plugins"

4.2: Select "Telescope Control" and check "Load at Startup" checkbox, and click "Configure"

4.3: Press "Add" button

4.4: Select "External Software or a remote computer"

* The TCP port should start at 10001 and index upwards as “more” telescopes are added.
* Press “OK” and repeat this step two more times until three “telescopes” are added, remembering to select “External software or a remote computer” each time!
* Three local connections are required,
o the first for Slew....
o the second for sync....
o the third to abort.....
* They can be named individually.

Go back to Main tab on Configuration window, click on “Save Settings” button.
Shut down Stellarium
Shutdown StellariumScope.
Step 5 Start StellariumScope.

* Check the “Connect” box on StellariumScope.
* The EQMOD ASCOM DRIVER panel should be displayed.
* Click on the “Start Stellarium” button on StellariumScope.
* Stellarium should start.
* Click on Configuration, Plugins, Telescope Control and then “Configure” button.
* Highlight #1 status
* Click on “Connect” button.
* After a couple of seconds, the status should change to “Connected”.
* Repeat this for the other two “Telescopes”
* Everything should now be ready to rock and roll!

Watch for Part 2 of this epistle on how to configure and control the telescope!
