Hi,

scope driver in pempro is "the sky controlled telescope" Error message as at topic line written.
Moved scope manually and everything work, but just want to know, what is wrong that Pempro doesnt get sidereal time?

Thanks
Raivo

Hi Raivo,

What is the exact versions of PEMPro and TheSky that you are using?

-Ray

Pempro 2.6 and TheSky 6 (0.0.61) professional

Where are you seeing this error occur? I just tried testing with my Paramount and I don't see this error pop up.

in those steps, where pempro ask to slew telescope to west or east of meridian (step ie 1.4) It doesnt slew when pushing the button, , gives this error message. I need to slew telescope through thesky
raivo

PEMPro reads the Sidereal Time from TheSky6 so I don't know why it would do that. Are you sure when asked you connected that you clicked the button that says "The Sky 6" instead of "The Sky 5". I do not believe that The Sky 5 has a Sidereal time function like TheSky6.

Ray, its TheSky6, not 5

Hi Raivo,

When you connect to the Paramount in PEMPro, do you get the popup message asking for TheSky 5 or TheSky 6? If you are not seeing that message make sure you do not have an ASCOM driver setup (i.e. TheSky-Controlled Telescope) for the mount in PEMPro.

Raivo,

Just to be clear I tried doing the slew in step 4 of the Polar Alignment Wizard and also in the Calibration Wizard and I got no error message. Please make sure that you have the configuration set correctly for your mount (maybe make a new mount instance by using PEMPro's Mount Wizard).

See the attached image of what you should see when you connect with PEMPro. Are you seeing this?

Ray, thanks.
Although I got managed to align my mount within few minutes ( 0.5 and 2) I will try once again as you suggested with settings. There is no weather right now, so at first clear night I will do it and let you know.
Ray, I see you have pretty interesting mapping pattern. I just started yesterday also with mapping, and its first time to me to do! Can you send me a bigger screen shot of your pattern and maybe few words with good suggestions? My email is raivo at kv dot ee

Thank you, Ray

Hi Raivo,

I sent you a private email with a larger picture of my map.
