<div>Retried all the scopes listed in the AP drop down list - no difference! ( The Celestron Ulima2000 gave better and more solid Mimic Panel info, but crashed on "slew to home"!)</div>
<div>The Auto-detect came up with nothing either.</div>
<div>The HEQ series mounts by Skywatcher use the Synscan V3 hand controller ( similar to the Celestron), and the manual recommends "Celestron NexStar 5i or Celestron 8/9/11 GPS"</div>
<div>In the Appendix B of the manual it gives some details of the RS232 commands.</div>

<div>Under CdC V3 the ASCOM ( V5.5) driver comes up as "Celestron Telescopes" (V5.0.14) and a selection of "NexStar 8i or 8iSE" works very well as does the "Synta Skywatcher mount"<br>Don't know what else I can offer at the moment....</div>

<br>Is there a document available somewhere that describes the protocol used by the mount you're using? The NexStar 5/8 protocol is very rudimentary, so I'm guessing it's using a superset thereof.<br><br>Paul R.<br>
