I have noted that there are often requests for help posted on online astronomy forums from new users trying to make a connection work. The fact that multiple methods exist seems to often lead toĪ lot of confusion for many first time users. There are multiple methods for allowing a PC to control a SynScan mount. Foremost among these new capabilities is the ability to simply click onĪn object shown in a sky mapping program on the PC and have the telescope move to that object. Connecting a SynScan telescope mount to a computer for control can give the user a number of additional useful features over using the supplied hand controller.
