Now I've cursed myself - the clouds have started to appear on the BBC weather site and are getting later and later (aargh). Now I use the alphabet in the front of the Sky and Telescope Pocket Atlas.ĮTA: Stellarium is great and I use it a lot but I used Cart du Ciel last night to print a star map to plan for tonight (so I could write on it rather than my atlas) and it's great for that. It's good to get used to this as star charts and atlases tend to use Greek letters - I printed a Greek alphabet off because I know a few squiggly lines but I'm still getting used to others. I don't know if you've worked this out or have abandoned Cart du ciel but Alp Lyr (Alpha Lyrae) is the astronomical designation for Vega (Vega is a traditional name - Arabic I think) and Alpha Cygni is the astronomical term for Deneb ('Tail' in Arabic apparently). If you need any (free) help give me a shout including your computer detailsĮdit, mhh this is very weird lol i just tried searching for the bright stars i normally use to align (sometimes) which are vega and deneb and vega is coming up as Alp Lyr? and deneb is coming up as Alp Cyg? lol It should be possible to fix the issue and resurrect stellarium very easily and for free.

Hey guys i was loving stellarium in conjunction with my skywatcher 130p (click on object and scope slews) but now my cruddy laptop has gone away for repair and come back it seems even worse i downloaded stellarium again and its come up with 2 stell icons (the normal icon and one that says NO OPEN GL2?) but now when i start stell everything i do it has about a 10 second delay and it is sooo frustrating i tell you so im just wondering if there are any other programs like stellarium that i can view the night sky and also connect my AZGOTO skywatcher 130p ? gutting really as i was loving stellarium any feedback at all will be greatly appreciated. Well ive had a good fiddle about and got things the way i like them i think lol, just connected my scope to the laptop and clicked on telescope on CDC then click configure and i get a box coming up says invalid class string.press ok to ignore and risk data corruption or click cancel to kill the program?Įdit, well i have downloaded ascom and CDC lets me into the configure screen now and is giving me the options to choose scope which i click on then this list comes up which is baffling me lolĭoes any one know what my skywatch AZGOTO mount would be ?Įdit, well i downloaded a celestron ASCOM driver and i now have control, im not sure if its sync'd or how accurate it is as im just sat in my front room with scope connected lol but i click on screen and scope slews!!!! GOOD ENOUGH for me for tonight lol least i knows it works, im done in after all that so thats it for me lol see you guys tomorrow to do your head in even more i guess lol Edited Jby tingting44
