Help with computer control
Ed Wiley Dec 24, 2010
Happy Holidays to all on the forum. Its Christmas Eve and I am trying to figure out how to connect my computer to my mount. Particulars:
Dell laptop running XP
Sky Commander 128 (I have a XP4, but not the cable).
Losmandy G-11 Push-T0 with Losmandy encoders
F4 bring up the dialogue.
The Sky Commander ration button does not work.
The LX-200 radio button does work and brings up the Scope Pad.
The JMI radio button brings up a strange message to the effect that there is some kind of error. (like <62, after reporting encoder resolution--its not understandable to me.
So, I went with LX-200----but now I am stuck. Tried a rough alignment using Sky Commander (working in the basement, but I have an idea of what is up and approximate positions). But where to go from there? All instructions seem geared to Go-To scopes.
So, any hints on how to get the red dot on the Guide Screen?
Sorry to be a wooden head, but I figure I need some help from someone on the forum who uses Push-To.
Many thanks for any help,
Ed
