I already had that on my computer because of the AVX so when I plugged it in and set the COM port in StellariumScope, everything just worked.

Stellarium software causing flashing monitor driver#

To run it with your computer, you’ll need the ASCOM 6.3 or later and the driver for Celestron telescopes. My hand controller was close to the current rom (I think it came with 4.17 and the newest was 4.19).

I did mine following the instructions in the manual and everything went smoothly. They recommend flashing the hand controller. The cable plugs into the hand controller.

It comes with a serial cable (DS9) for hooking it up to a computer and I already had a USB converter cable that I used with my AVX mount. As soon as I got the alert, I paid the duties at UPS’s site and the delivery continued on without interruption. They issued a warning that import duties were due. If you go this route, sign up with UPS’s notification service. I ordered it on the 17th and received it on the 24th. It also came with a GPS unit so you don’t have to enter coordinates, but I’m not using it. It comes with enough screws to put 4 in each side and my tube had two extra holes under the shoulder so I added the extra screws just for security. You can take the mirror out but I just left it together. There’s a nut on the inside so be careful that it doesn’t fall on the mirror. The only thing you need to do to the manual scope is remove the side shoulders on the tube. The kit was pretty easy to put together and all the tools you need come with the kit. The total cost with shipping and import duties was about $1300-$1400 after currency conversion. Unfortunately, the upgrade kit is not sold in the US so I had to order it from Canada. It’s a nice option if you don’t move the scope. So I can park it and start it up on a later date without having to do a realignment. One nice feature I discovered that’s available in the Skywatcher Dob is the park function. In the end, I sold off some gear and saved up enough to buy the kit. I knew the scope would work because I did some with the equatorial platform but I wasn’t sure how well the goto mount would track. I have an equatorial platform but it was tedious to use with EAA. I debated for a long time whether to sell it and buy a pier setup or try to use it with EAA. If the Goto worked, it would give me a scope that I could just go out to and start observing. But since I started doing EAA, it pretty much sat unused. The advantage for me is I have an observatory deck with a roll-off shed that I built for the scope when I was using it manually (the pictures show the visual setup). It was a bit risky for me to see if it would work as there wasn’t much information on others using them. I haven’t seen too many posts about using this particular goto dobsonian with EAA so I thought I’d do a write-up in case anyone happened to be searching for that info.

I had a Skywatcher 12” manual dobsonian that I decided to upgrade to a Goto using the Skywatcher Synscan Goto Upgrade Kit.
