I'm using SkySafari 5 Pro through the mini USB on the bottom of the StarSense HC. 

Has anyone noticed the following? 

Tracking is disabled every time you connect using SkySafari.  

I can go into the HC and turn tracking back on and it seems to work again until the next disconnect/connect occurs. 

Is this a bug? Is it in the StarSense HC or the SkySafari software?

  Tested using the NexStar+ HC

  Tracking remains enabled during SkySafari connect/disconnect.

  Must be something in the StarSense HC

  I seem to recall the Celestron engineers mentioning a problem like this.  I will email them to confirm.

  It does seem to be a problem specific to the StarSense HC.  Celestron thinks turning off Set Time & Location in the SkySafari Scope Setup settings might be a work around.  Could you try that?

  David can you confirm bill's workaround works? I kind of cringe thinking I will lose tracking if I pull the trigger on the StarSense. :-O
