I have SN Enthusiast 7. It has "telescope control" as a selectable item. I have four telescopes and thought I would like to give SN a try. When I started the "telescope control" program it said. "Starry Night did not detect any valid telescope plugins in plugin folder". I would like to try this program on my Celestron Nexstar SE. Is this program supposed to work? If it is, how do I get these plugins?
Thank you, Richard
Enthusiast 7 is not supposed to include telescope control. Telescope control is not included as part of the Enthusiast 7 feature list. As such, it is a non-intended, and non-supported feature; i.e. it is de facto broken by being there.
Apologies for the misleading feature.
If you want telescope control functionality consider upgrading to SN7 Pro - and the telescope control feature will work, I promise.
I have Starry Night Pro 6.0.6 and I was never asked to supply a plugin and my telescope configure is also grayed out. How do I add a plugin. I downloaded the ASCOM drivers, but they don't seem to be connected to Starry Night in any way. I am trying to control my Meade RCX-400 12" with this program.
Hi Curt,
This is the forum for Starry Night V7 community help. Please post questions about Starry Night V6 in the forum here:
To answer you question, the reason you're finding difficulty with your SN Pro 6 is because you have not updated to the latest version - which is 6.4.3. Once you update to 6.4.3 everything will be okay. You can get the 6.3.3 and the 6.4.3 updates from here:
