If you do you did everything correctly and now you should be able to remotely slew your mount simply by selecting you target in Stellarium and pressing the control key and 1 at the same time and the mount will move to what you selected. You should now see your scope indicator in the main Stellarium window. Hit OK and you should see your mount name in the Telescopes window box. I use either CGE or CGEMĬ Keep the connect on delay at ,50s and the J2000ĭ. Next select the add button then keep the radio Button "Stellarium Directly through a serial port"ī Type in a name for you scope. Check “Load at startup” and select ConfigureĬ. at the bottom of the Plug-in tab you’ll find Telescope Controlī. Go to Configuration in Stellarium and find the Plug-in tab. now You’ll need to do a one time setup in StellariumĪ.Now start up SGPro - Select your Celestron Mount and you should now be able to connect to your mount via the virtual Com15 port.It will also, this is cool, populate the Celestron ASOM driver with the Virtual COM port number for you. it will show COM15 in the Virtual point window at the bottom of the NexRemote image. Once this is done and NexRemote fires up. Virtual Port (I use Com15 (I like having the 5 so I can remember that my mount is on Com5 and the virtual port is Com15).If not than you will not be able to run your mount with NexRemote) I assume NexRemote has the AVX mount listed. Select Celestron Mount type (I have two mounts CGE-Pro and a CGEM-DX so depending on the mount I used.Select Com 5 (This is the COM port my mount is setup for).I have NexRemote, SGPro, and Stellarium are working together. Now, you need another comm port number for SGP to communicate with your Celestron mount via ASCOM driver which is why NexRemote added a “Virtual Comm Port”. Since you already made NexRemote to work with your PC, this means you must have set the “real” comm port number in NexRemote to match the PC’s hardware comm port number. It allowed me to control Celestron mount from Stellarium. SGP didn’t exists back then but I was using Stellarium at the time and I needed to set the “Virtual Comm Port” number in NexRemote and set this same comm port number in Stellarium and it worked. I am not sure if this will work because SGP didn’t exists at the time I owned a Celestron mount. And then set the same Virtual Comm Port number in your ASCOM driver. If I remember correctly, there should be a “Virtual Comm Port” somewhere displayed on NexRemote, set it to any Comm port number that’s not defined in your PC’s device manager.
