remote, unknown means an INDIRECT connection over a network to a remote machine.

local, external means an INDIRECT connection to a program running on the same computer.

local, Stellarium means a DIRECT connection to the telescope (see above).

the Type field indicates what kind of connection is this:.

Unfortunately, there are some cases in which "Connected" is displayed when no working connection exists.

the Status column indicates if this connection is currently active or not.

For example, for telescope #2, the shortcut is Ctrl+2.

the number ( #) column shows the number used to control this telescope.

On Windows, a USB connection may require a "virtual serial port" software, if it is not supplied with the cable or the telescope. On Linux and Max OS X both cases are handled identically by the plug-in. Most older telescopes use cables that connect to a serial port (RS-232), the newer ones use USB (Universal Serial Bus). a device is connected to a remote computer and the software that drives it can "talk" to Stellarium over the network this software can be either one of Stellarium's stand-alone telescope servers, or a third party application.a device is connected to the same computer but it is driven by a stand-alone telescope server program or a third-party application that can "talk" to Stellarium.DIRECT CONNECTION: A device supported by the plug-in is connected with a cable to the computer running Stellarium.There are two general ways to control a device with this plug-in, depending on the situation: Even if you don't do it deliberately, a slew during daylight hours may cause your telescope to point at the sun on its way to the given destination, so it is strongly recommended to avoid using the telescope control feature before sunset without appropriate protection.The powerful light amplified by the telescope WILL cause irreversible damage to your eyes and/or your equipment. Never point your telescope at the Sun without a proper solar filter installed.WARNING: Stellarium CANNOT prevent your telescope from being pointed at the Sun. (To abort a slew, you can start another one to an object in a safe position.)Īs of the current version, this plug-in doesn't allow satellite tracking, and is not very suitable for Moon or planetary observations. It cannot issue any other commands, so users should be aware of the possibility for mount collisions and similar situations.

This plug-in allows Stellarium to send only " slew" ("go to") commands to the device and to receive its current position. 2.2 Telescope connection configuration window.
