How To Connect SkySafari 6 Pro + iOptron CEM25EC + StarFi? (Still Needs Help)

Hello,

 

I have a iOptron CEM25EC mount and have a StarFi wifi dongle form iOptron connected to it. I purchased SkySafari 6 Pro form my Mac and iPhone X. I am able to connect via wifi on both devices to StarFi and I am able to log in via web browser at 10.10.100.254 and see all the internal menu items. However, I can't connect with either SkySafari Platform programs. I keep getting the error - cannot connect. Can someone help me?  iOptron says it might be an issue on SkySafari's end. All connections and settings are as iOptron says should work.

Thank You

Greg

  Here you see that I can clearly connect to the unit via web browser on the same computer in the same session. So connecting to the wifi adapter is not the issue. I should reiterate that all of the settings are exactly as directed by iOptron on the phone with me today.

   

  Thanks for your Help. LOVE SkySafari. Just wish it would connect to the mount.

  Hi Greg, 

  Please see this post, note the comment and screenshot referencing a different IP/Port configuration.

  Is this relevant to your scope setup?

  We'll figure it out!

  Thanks!

  According to iOptron, it does not help.

  Did you try it?

  Also, please outline your piece by piece setup.  

  You are connected specifically to the mount how?

  @Gkokes: This seems to be a common problem with SS6 and iOptron mounts. The only current workaround seems to be to "rewind" to Sky Safari 5 (I'm not sure if it works in all cases, but has in mine and others).  HTH.
