Why Can I Connect With SkyPortal But Not With SkySafari 6 Plus Using Celestron AVX + SkyPortal WiFi Adapter? (Solution: Choose ScopeType "Celestron WiFi")

Skyportal app works great through the skyportal wifi adapter on my AVX aux. input.

Bought SS6 plus on the same iPhone as skyportal but it won’t connect. “Can’t find the wifi network...check ip address”
It’s set to 1.2.3.5 in iOS setup, skyportal and SS6 but still won’t connect.

  Hi Kevin, 

  In Settings -> Telescope Setup -> Scope Type -> Celestron WIFI <- have you selected this?  You must.

  Thanks!

  Nope.....had Celestron AVX/CGEM/CGEMX selected as I have the AVX mount. I will definitely try that next chance I get. I’m sure that will fix the problem as skyportal worked great.....I was sooooo close.
  Thanks for the response!!
