I have both an EQ3 and and EQ6 GoTo motorized mounts with GPS.  How do I connect them to Starry Night Pro 6?  I do not see anything useable in the drop down menu.

  Hi Jim,

  Please read this trouble-shooting set-up guide here:

  Confirm the checklist:

  1. Latest Ascom platform

  2. Latest driver

  3. Latest firmware for paddle.

  4. Latest driver for USB to Serial cable.

   

  Please let us know if that helps.

  I am using Mac OSX. when I use the drop down menu, I do not see my telescope or mounts. I have both the EQ 3 and 6 mounts with Synscan controller. All drivers and firmware are up to date. I am not sure about Ascom files.

  No Ascom is required on OSX.  However, you do need a driver for the USBtoSerial cable.  See this KB article here:
