Download skyportal from Celestron.
Its free from the usual sites for Apple and Android.
I like it almost as much as Stellarium in fact more because it can synch with our mounts if you have the WiFi adaptor.
Muhahahah
Yeah right! Now you want me to get the WiFi thingy. :roll: :lol:
Last summer I bought my Nikon Camera, Lunch Box Edition.
Case, two lenses, strap, and a WiFi dongle. Oooooo, a "Free" WiFi do-dad.
Yeah, it works. But holy moly does it ever drain both the camera AND the android's battery!
Biggest disappointment is that is all the dumb thing does.
WiFi my butt.
I do have the Celestron app, but not the dongle. Once bitten, twice shy. :hunf:
If the AVX had a USB port, I could try the Nikon Dongle in the mount. :idea:
(BTW, the Celestron Tech, Alex, told me that Celestron is working on making all their stuff wireless.
Now dig that, Jim, sitting out with your scope-N-mount, and having your laptop wirelessly running the set-up.
Now think about it...
Sitting
inside observing... and controlling the scope/mount... from your easy chair.
:twisted: Always more to buy. :(
Damn it, Jim. Delivery is Wednesday. :roll:
SOB better work. :lol:
Last time I did something like this I found out my IPad was too old to update enough to use it. Thank You, Apple. :evil:
