I've been trying to use my a Skywire to connect my AP 1200GTO CP3 mount to my iPad and control the mount with SkySafari Pro 6. The mount is on and the Skywire in plugged in to both the iPad and mount. The message I get is "can't connect with mount". I've got the SkySafari Pro 6 settings on Astro-Physics GTO and Equatorial GoTo (German). I've tried both of the RS-232 ports on my mount and I get the same error message. BTW, my mount control works just fine through the same RS-232 ports when connected to a PC. Any thoughts?

Keiron Smith Hi Thomas,
Did you get this SkySafari 6 Pro + SkyWire + Astrophysics 1200 GTO CP3 connectivity issue resolved?
Thanks!

Keiron Smith Hi Thomas,
- Did you star-align the mount before trying to connect?
- What Serial-to-RS232 cable are you using? Do you have one specific for AP mounts?
- When you connect the SkyWire to the iPad do you get a "Connected" message?
- Please also attach a screenshot of the SkySafari error message in your reply.
