Stellarium is honestly makes observing so much nicer!

Thank you for sharing this! I was so depressed because cpwi does not support my nexstar remote but this worked!!!!!

Hi Backyard Astronomy,

Thanks for showing us how to set this up. Really helpful.

Can I align my telescope using Stellarium? That should be a great method when you have a cloudy night. Thanks for taking me out of the darkness in this matter. I am a new user of a CPC 1100 XLT telescope but I had no idea that you could control your telescope with Stellarium. That´s magic. Thanks for your prompt answer.

Which driver we need for nexstar SE virtual remote & Do we need to install ASCOM Driver too?

Works for me quick and easy instructions

How do you do a fake alignment?

Will stellarium only recognize com port after alignment is made? Is it really required?

This is very nice to point the telescope at an object that moves to "Sidereal" speed. Stellarium can also chase the ISS .. The set of stellarium and NexRemote can follow a fast object like the ISS?

question, instead of taking the telescope outside to do a lineup can I use stellarium instead if so how would i do it.

That thing which moves with your telescope on the screen moves but mine doesn't how come?

I might be dumb. So i got a PC control cable with a usb adapter on amazon today. But the 6 pin cable will only connect in the aux or controller port, not in my hand controller. I have a Nexstar SLT 127 mak

There are two ways to controll EQ mount with your pc

Are you using the NexStar Plus handset to connect NexRemote through? I was wondering whether my NexStar Plus handset on my CG-5 was compatible / able to be used for connecting via NexRemote?

Are you using a serial cable or using a wifi adapter?
