SynScan App can collaborate with a 3rd party telescope control software, such as a planetarium app. The two apps can run on different devices, or they can run on the same device, with an exception on iOS:
Planetarium app on another device | Planetarium app on same device | |
---|---|---|
SynScan App on iOS | Yes | No |
SynScan App on Android | Yes | Yes |
SynScan App on Windows | Yes | Yes |
SynScan App must be connected to Sky-Watcher/Orion telescope mount first, before planetarium app can connect to SynScan App.
If an iOS device runs SynScan App, the device has to remain open (screen-lock disabled) and the SynScan App has to be visible on the screen
Enter SynScan App's IP address into the planetarium app:
127.0.0.1
Additional parameters depend on the type of protocol used:
